A substantial four bedroomed semi-detached family home offering over 1,900 sq.ft of thoughtfully extended accommodation, occupying a generous 0.23 acre plot of grounds within the sought-after village of Wormshill.

Built in the 1950s, Merrifield has remained with one family for the past five decades and has been lovingly maintained, creatively reconfigured and extended over the years.

The property enjoys a delightful setting within a close-knit village community, with excellent access to Sittingbourne, Maidstone and the motorway network.

Set back from the road, the property is approached via a long, paved driveway providing extensive parking for over half a dozen cars. The front door opens into a pitched entrance porch, which in turn leads to the reception hall with stairs rising to the first floor.

The open-plan living room is a particularly inviting space, centred around a multi-fuel stove set within the chimney breast. This flows beautifully into the dining area, which enjoys a lovely outlook over the garden through the double-glazed conservatory. The dining room is open to the kitchen, with the breakfast bar providing a natural division between the two areas. The kitchen has an array of wall and floor units surrounding the main appliances, offering a practical and sociable space for family life.

A convenient ground floor WC is positioned between the kitchen and garage. The garage has been creatively utilised as a utility area, with space for gym equipment and storage, whilst also offering potential for further conversion depending on individual requirements.

To the first floor, there are four double bedrooms and a well-appointed family shower room. The principal bedroom is a generous space with the added luxury of an en-suite bathroom, complete with a separate shower enclosure.

Outside, Merrifield occupies a generous 0.23 acre plot, with extensive parking to the front and a delightful rear garden extending to approximately 200 ft. The garden is predominantly laid to lawn, enclosed by fencing and enhanced by mature trees, creating a lovely sense of privacy and seclusion. A sandstone patio is accessed directly from the conservatory, providing an ideal setting for outdoor dining and enjoying the garden throughout the warmer months.

A much-loved family home with a wonderful sense of space, a thoughtfully designed layout and a generous garden, Merrifield offers a rare combination of versatile accommodation, extensive parking and a desirable village setting.
