Description

A formal entrance to Wrotham Hill Park house is the first thing to notice and the Gatehouse Lodge sits proudly by its side. Entered by a separate driveway leading to a double garage the garden wraps around the home and has been clearly loved by its current owners of in excess of 40 years. A walkway leads to a door that is technically to the rear of the property as is the way of the country into the utility room that offers great space for white goods and storage. This in turn leads into the kitchen area which sits centrally in the home and splits the space between the living accommodation and bedrooms. The dining room runs off from the kitchen as it should do with double aspect windows bringing plenty of light into the space. Strange as it sounds this then enters into the more formal but welcoming hallway entered from the front of the house and offers a cloakroom to the rear.

The main reception is of good size with a lovely bright feel generated by the patio doors to the garden and a further window to the rear. A feature fireplace sots centrally and offers a cosy place to sit in winter months. This then opens up to a wonderfully bright conservatory that takes in the front and side garden. The vendors spend a lot of their day here taking in the birds and wildlife visiting their garden. It currently is the best place to look out over their magnificent mature Magnolia tree.

To the other side of the dining room are the bedrooms and bathroom. A large main bedroom with a bay outlook made up of three separate windows is a delightful and peaceful space. A further double room sits next to this off the central hallway orientated in the same way and a further single bedroom to the other side. A central shower room services all the bedrooms. A loft hatch and ladder lead to great loft room which has a dormer window looking out over the front and gives a great opportunity for further space. The current vendors have two beds in this room but due to the access this could not be considered a bedroom without further development. Although it does indicate a great opportunity to make the most of the room available subject to building regulations and permissions of course.

Externally the house sits amongst a triangular plot close to half an acre in total and has a fantastic garden from all sides. A formal entrance pathway leads from the front of the house where the main building sits and a driveway leads up to the rear to a double garage. This in turn could give great possibilities for development with a large garage and outbuildings offering potential for conversion to an annexe or separate accommodation. Again subject to planning permission being granted. The gardens are a great mix of lawn, mature beds and productive food areas with a mix of ornamental and fruiting trees as you can see from the pictures.
