Detached house for sale in Long Mill Lane, Platt, Sevenoaks TN15

Kettle Cottage sits within one of the most popular locations off Long Mill Lane, in the sought after village of St Marys Platt. An extended Kentish Ragstone and tiled cottage within a triangular plot in this semi rural idyll just 2 miles from central Borough Green with all its amenities and mainline station to London.

Description

Set on the corner plot between two country lanes the property is accessed via five bar gate into a gravelled driveway with parking for multiple cars including a garage. A pretty cottage style garden is the first thing you notice before seeing the double gabled rear of the cottage with its ragstone walls and hung Kent tiles giving clues to its characterful interior. A recently added quality Oak timber framed covered entrance area gives access to the rear, as most country homes do, to the fitted country style kitchen. Square in shape and offering a view from the sink out to the garden area and veggie patch. Onward travel leads you into very well sized formal dining area directly off the kitchen that could be opened up if required to establish the more open plan living the market craves for. Off this room is a central lobby giving access to the utility room and downstairs shower room including wc and wash hand basin. To the other side of the kitchen is a large living room with feature fireplace. A double aspect to this room with four windows streaming light in. This offers an opening into a sitting room, a cosy space with another open fireplace and a great place to retire with a good book.

Upstairs is a very sizeable landing that has been used as a study area that offers onward travel to the four double bedrooms and family bathroom. The largest bedroom offers a wall of built in wardrobes and is 18 by 12 ft with double aspect windows. All of the other bedrooms are of similar size two of which have built in storage. The family bathroom is also spacious with modern fittings offering built in vanity storage.

Externally the property sits in a triangular plot between two country lanes. The front garden offers a stepped lawn and path to the beautiful covered entrance that is rarely used but gives off the period country style. Borders to both gardens are well stocked and a veggie patch has been very productive in its time. Various outbuildings store essentials including a stock of wood for the open fires.

We are excited to offer this rarely available home and can't wait to show you round.
