Town houses provide vast space and this impressive four/five-bedroom family home is a perfect example. The entrance hall feels like a room in itself and welcomes visitors in a grand style. It sets the scene for what you find throughout this three-storey property, newly built just three years ago, and exploring it is a true delight.
The beauty of accommodation like this is flexibility. There are so many ways you can use the space on offer that you can spend ages running through the permutations; it will be part of the fun of making this your new home.
That entrance will keep you talking but so will many other features. The kitchen/diner is a room that will hold you captive day after day, looking out on to the garden it is somewhere that just feels so comfortable and natural to be in. The front room on the ground floor has a multitude of uses - many think of it as a fifth bedroom, it could be another sitting room, a cinema room, an office or, as it is here, a very grand playroom for kids.
Convenience is catered for with a ground-floor toilet so there's no running upstairs needed when nature calls. In fact, a family won't be fighting in the morning as there is an en-suite toilet and shower to the lovely master bedroom, a room that swallows a super-sized bed and wardrobes aplenty. Both the first and second floors have bathrooms, so getting kids ready or pacifying teenagers is a simple task.
Each floor feels grand, the landings are wide and the staircase winds up in suitable fashion. Looking down from the top floor has an impressive quality.
The living room once again seems to envelop you, it has a cosy quality despite its size, stretching across the width of the house and the Juliet balcony floods the room with sunlight. There is an impressive bedroom on this first floor: will it be something else for you? There are three bedrooms on the top floor, don't forget!
The owners know they have been spoilt here: 'We saw the house being built and, although you know how big it is going to be, there's something about seeing it come out of the ground that makes it appear diminutive. The amount of space we have still surprises us.'
This home isn't just about space, though - for the owners it's about peace and quiet. They have loved the location. As we stood in the garden - with its newly created decking area and high-quality, low-maintenance artificial lawn - talking to them, it didn't feel as if you were really overlooked, a fear some people have with modern properties. There's greenery and a sense of calm.
Convenience is a big factor here too, evident in different ways. There is a parking space to the front of the house, great for pulling up and jumping out with the kids, and there is huge loft space for storage, an air-vent system constantly delivering fresh air into each room, and a garage which brilliantly has an access door from the back garden.
Thinking of the commute to work in London was a big consideration for the owners when they moved from north Kent to here; well, the train station is just "an eight-minute cycle away" and that journey is so simple from Ashford with the High Speed Link and excellent services to Cannon Street, Charing Cross and Victoria too.
The estate itself is just three years old, with a play area and plenty of green space for the kids to run around on - in fact, the owners are thrilled by the vicinity of countless local parks.
Schools for the children are catered for brilliantly and nearby. Ashford has no shortage of shopping facilities with a busy town centre, the shopping outlet McArthur Glen, several supermarkets and on a simpler note there is a local Co-Op just a short walk away with a selection of other shops.
Modern building standards make this simple place to run with the added benefit of solar panels heating water for you and cutting costs. This is an incredibly impressive property and when you view you will see more than that; you will see a supreme home!
