Description

Lovingly extended and improved by its present owners over more than 20 years, this welcoming semi-detached home combines cottage character with practical family accommodation. Situated in a quiet, sought-after part of Maxton, it enjoys views across Elms Vale Valley and is offered with no onward chain.

Arranged over four floors, the property provides approximately 1,238 sq ft of accommodation, including three double bedrooms and a generous single room. Its elevated setting and plot of approximately 0.9 acres offer a sense of space, with established outdoor areas to enjoy throughout the seasons.

Set below road level, the house is approached via a hardstanding off-road parking area for two vehicles. A Victorian-style porch introduces the home’s cottage feel and opens into a generous hallway with a staircase connecting the accommodation.

The lower ground floor forms the heart of the home, with a spacious kitchen and dining area featuring solid oak kitchen doors, quartz worktops and porcelain floor tiles. Triple-glazed patio doors open directly onto the large patio, providing a setting for outdoor dining and taking in the valley views.

A cosy lounge offers a comfortable place to relax, while the bedrooms provide flexibility for family life, guests or working from home. The first floor includes the main bedroom, family bathroom, a dedicated laundry room and a bespoke wet room.

The spacious loft bedroom has two large Velux windows with further views across the valley. With room for a double bed and a study desk, it is equally suited to use as a bedroom or a generous home office.

Outside, the terraced garden brings together spaces for entertaining, gardening and quiet enjoyment. The large patio is complemented by a raised bed incorporating a sandstone water feature, alongside a greenhouse, a selection of fruit trees and outbuildings. The parking area also offers the potential to supply power for an electric vehicle charging point.

The location provides access to Western Heights and the hillside paths behind Hardwick Road, with opportunities for dog walking and views towards the sea and White Cliffs. Dover town centre and the seafront are within walking distance, offering views of Dover Castle and the coastline.

Local schools, including the boys’ and girls’ grammar schools and Dover College, are within walking distance, as is Dover Priory railway station. High-speed services provide connections to London in approximately 65 minutes. Local co-op and farm shop. A main bus route connects the area with Folkestone harbour and its Creative Quarter.
