This fine home is located within the popular village of Thorpe End, conceived in the 1930s as a garden village with all the original homes created with the same ethos of a cleaner, simpler way of life. As one of the original properties, St Margarets enjoys a superb plot, set back from the road, wonderfully discreet, mature and private. The current owners have enjoyed family living here and have sympathetically extended the property to create the most impressive kitchen breakfast family room, incorporating a high specification kitchen including two Neff Slide and Hide ovens, a six ring gas hob and a hot water tap.

A spacious entrance hall serves the dual aspect reception room office room to the front, with its bay window giving the room a lovely feel and plenty of natural light. The sitting room is a great space, perfect for relaxing and, in the winter months, lovely warmth from the wood burner style gas stove. Oak flooring throughout the sitting room, hall and reception room creates a wonderful flow. Folding oak doors take you into the truly impressive, vaulted kitchen breakfast family room, flooded with natural light from the two roof lights and double bi fold doors that really do bring the outdoors in. In addition, there is a well appointed office that could also be utilised as a ground floor bedroom if so required. A modern, well fitted shower room and a utility room are also on offer in this fine family home.

The first floor is home to three well proportioned bedrooms and a modern well fitted family bath and shower room.

With Plumstead Road lined by mature oak trees, to the front there is a large gravelled driveway with parking and access to the garage. Established planting gives privacy and a lovely outlook is provided by a rockery, lawn and ornamental fishpond.

To the rear, the south south east facing garden has been well landscaped and offers a wide variety of planting and a sweeping lawn, complemented by native hedging, a wildflower meadow and wildlife pond. A wonderful addition has been the spacious terrace, perfect for enjoying views of the garden and excellent for those summer parties. To the far reaches of the garden, as well as a decked area, you will find a productive kitchen garden, fruit trees, established fruit beds and a herb garden, making this a true gardeners delight.
