Property Description
A Stylish & Substantially Improved ‘Mayfair’ Design Family Home in a Desirable Hawkinge Cul-de-Sac Guide Price £520,000 A beautifully presented and thoughtfully enhanced four-bedroom detached family home, situated in a quiet and highly sought-after cul-de-sac in the popular village of Hawkinge. Offering generous and versatile accommodation throughout, this impressive property has been tastefully modernised to create a superb balance of contemporary style and practical family living. Originally constructed by McLean Homes in their ever-popular “Mayfair” design, the property now boasts a spacious and well-appointed layout extending to approximately 2,102 sq ft. The accommodation is arranged to suit modern lifestyles, with an emphasis on both comfort and entertaining. The ground floor comprises a welcoming entrance porch leading into a long and inviting entrance hall. The principal sitting room is a bright and elegant space, centred around a contemporary wall-mounted feature fireplace. To the rear, a separate dining area flows seamlessly into a substantial conservatory with underfloor heating, providing an excellent year-round reception space overlooking the garden. The kitchen/breakfast room is generously proportioned and well-equipped, offering ample workspace and storage. This is complemented by a separate utility room with space and plumbing for multiple appliances. A modern cloakroom/WC completes the ground floor, along with a highly versatile converted garage room—currently used as a home office, but equally suitable as a playroom, snug or additional reception space. The garage conversion benefits from appropriate planning consent. To the first floor, a wide galleried landing gives access to four well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes installed approximately 1 year ago, along with a stylish en-suite shower room. The remaining bedrooms are served by a contemporary family bathroom, recently updated to a high standard. The property has seen a number of further improvements, including: Window blinds fitted approximately 3 years ago A Worcester gas boiler installed around 5 years ago An unvented hot water cylinder providing pressurised hot water, installed approximately 3 years ago Loft fully boarded and insulated Externally, the property continues to impress. The rear garden is of a generous size and has been thoughtfully arranged to cater for both entertaining and family life. A standout feature is the bespoke outdoor entertainment complex, incorporating a fully enclosed bar/summer house, a gazebo seating area, and a covered hot tub space—the hot tub will remain—designed to create a sociable and flowing outdoor environment. Beyond this, there remains ample space for the whole family to enjoy. Additional outdoor features include: Side access on both sides of the property Double gate system providing added safety for children and pets Dog kennel and fencing (note: these will be removed prior to sale) Further benefits include gas-fired central heating, UPVC double glazing throughout, and an EPC rating of C.

Estimates are based on national averages. Energy uses the Q4 2026 Ofgem energy price cap for Great Britain (1 October to 31 December 2026, reviewed quarterly) applied to typical medium-household usage, then scaled for the EPC rating and number of bedrooms you select and, on a property page, for the property type given on the listing (Domovita's own assumptions, the same ones the energy estimator uses). Where a listing gives no EPC rating, the rating shown is an assumption, and the page says so. Council tax uses the 2026/27 England average Band D (gov.uk / MHCLG) spread across bands by the statutory ratios; water uses the 2026/27 national average combined bill for England and Wales (Water UK). Broadband and insurance are fixed allowances set by Domovita, not measured averages. Ground rent and service charge, where shown, are taken from the listing as supplied, not an average. Monthly figures are the annual estimate divided by 12. Actual costs vary by location, usage, and provider. For guidance only. Last reviewed 2 October 2026.
