4 bed detached house for sale

New Barn Road, Swanley, Kent BR8

A Four-Bedroom Detached Period Home

This four-bedroom detached period family home is situated on a country lane in Swanley. It offers the benefits of the countryside but the closeness of amenities nearby, with easy access to London and nearby schools. Before we get into what the area has to offer firstly, a quick word on how the house is currently set up downstairs, you have an entrance hallway, a kitchen open to the dining room, a study, downstairs shower/utility room, a large through lounge with feature fireplaces and a substantial garden space. Being south facing, the garden gets plenty of sun and is an ideal entertaining space. The house was extended in 1985 along with the double garage, but if you planned to extend the living space, planning permission was granted in 2014 (expired) to the east side (left side looking at the house) creating an extra reception downstairs plus a large bedroom on the first floor but at the time they did mean sacrificing the garage on the other side of the house. Upstairs there are four bedrooms, the family bathroom and a good-sized loft.

Located within the green belt, this area provides a healthy and thriving environment, offering numerous opportunities for children to grow and flourish. The park itself is especially popular with children under 11, featuring a wide range of activities. There are several nurseries in the area, including Dawn to Dusk, the outdoor creche within the park, and Five Wents at the end of the road. The local primary schools are excellent, with Swanley Village School being one of the standout options. The region is also home to many high-quality grammar and secondary schools. White Oak Sports Centre and swimming pool are within walking distance, and private swimming pools are available at Rowhill Grange and Birchwood Park Golf & Country Club. Swanley Station, which is Oyster-enabled, offers fast connections to London Bridge (19 mins), Charing Cross, Victoria, and direct services to various stations across Kent. Additionally, the station is just a 20-minute walk through the park—less in the summer when the paved paths aren’t necessary. The shops, library, and gp health centres are even closer, and the 233 and 477 bus routes are just an 8-minute walk away. Awaiting EPC / Council tax band F.
