Description

This detached house is unusual in that it has tile hung elevations under a tiled roof. Some years ago it had a two storey rear extension creating enough space for a three or even four bedroom house. However, the owners preferred to present it as two bedrooms, each being very large. It is felt both could be divided with an extension to the landing to provide two double and two single bedrooms. The house has had some updating, with a new shower room on each floor, and is ready to move into. It has gas central heating and double glazing.

It also provides plenty of potential to reconfigure the extension or even to provide a replacement dwelling, perhaps on a larger scale to better suit the size of the plot which is well over 300 ft long. This would be subject to planning and we recommend anyone interested in this option should make enquiries at the planning department of Sevenoaks District Council.

The property is approached over a long driveway which runs up the side and leads to further parking behind a pair of wrought iron gates. There is space for the erection of a garage, again subject to planning. There is further pedestrian access to the other side of the house. The gardens are very impressive. To the front there is a shed, lawn and mature trees and shrubs providing screening from the road. The rear garden is well over 250 feet long with a large patio, extensive lawn and mature planting. There is a detached brick-built garden room/home office with a pitched and tiled roof. There is a shed adjacent to the outbuilding and a further shed at the far end of the garden.

The accommodation is arranged over two floors. Downstairs there is an entrance hall with stairs to the first floor and a window to the side on the half landing. There is a spacious wc/shower room which has a modern white suite. The main sitting room is double aspect with windows to front and side. A wide opening leads to the dining room with patio doors opening to the rear garden. The kitchen has an extensive range of wall and base units as well as a built-in larder. Integrated appliances include both fridge and freezer, and both washing machine and dishwasher.

Upstairs, the landing has a hatch to the loft space. There is a shower room with a modern white suite. The two bedrooms are effectively double-sized and could readily be altered to provide four bedrooms. Both rooms are double aspect with views to the side and rear.
