4 bedroom detached house

OPEN HOUSE - SATURDAY 25TH MARCH

PROPERTY
This wonderful family home is situated in the highly sought after and desirable Montreal Park, a development of detached properties positioned a short walk from Sevenoaks mainline station. The house has been extended by the current owner, offering plenty of internal space with a bright and airy feel thanks to its extensive array of large windows.

The front door leads via an enclosed entrance porch into a particularly generous hallway with carpeted flooring and stairs to the first floor to the right hand side. To the left-hand side is the sitting room, which features an open fireplace with stone surround and a set of sliding doors that lead directly out onto the garden patio. The dining room offers a formal space to entertain with room for even the largest of dining tables. There are pleasant views of the garden and the original serving hatch to the kitchen has been retained. The kitchen / breakfast room is ideal for modern family life and has plenty of cupboard space. There is a range of fitted wall and base units with a work top over and tiled splashback. Integrated appliances include an electric double oven, 4 ring gas hob, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, waste disposal unit and extractor hood. Adjoining the kitchen is a handy utility room, which provides additional storage, an extra sink and space for a freestanding washing machine. A downstairs W.C. completes the ground floor accommodation.

Upstairs, the first-floor landing leads to four bedrooms, a shower room and a separate W.C. The master bedroom suite is double aspect and particularly spacious. There is a dressing room with fitted wardrobes and a large ensuite bathroom, which is finished with neutral tiling to the floor and walls. A jacuzzi bath adds a touch of luxury with a separate freestanding shower, two basins, heated towel rail, W.C. and a range of built-in storage cupboards. Bedrooms 2 and 3 are good sized double rooms boasting fitted wardrobes, wash basins and views out to the North Downs. Bedroom 4 is a single room, which most recently has been used as a home office. The family bathroom has been altered to include a large walk-in shower and there is a separate W.C.

The property has mains gas central heating with an airing cupboard on the first-floor landing. The loft is currently used for storage and is part (mostly) boarded with a light and a pull-down ladder.

The size of the property will more than satisfy most but for those looking to add space and value to this fantastic house there is plenty of extension potential (subject to obtaining any necessary planning permission).

OUTSIDE
The property is situated in a lovely residential setting with wide verges and cherry trees lining both sides of the road. A flat block-paved driveway provides off-road parking for two vehicles and leads to the integral garage, which is wider than most and can accommodate a modern car. There is a pretty front garden with numerous flowering plants and neat hedging to the borders, set behind a low ragstone wall. A gated pathway running down the left hand side of the house provides direct access to the rear.

The delightful back garden is north west facing and approximately 115 feet in length. It is well screened offering privacy with a pleasant green outlook beyond. There are well stocked beds filled with a wide variety of herbaceous shrubs, flowers and bushes with mature hedging and a number of specimen trees including several apple trees. To the immediate rear of the house is a paved patio, which provides an ideal spot for al fresco entertaining or to simply sit and enjoy the afternoon sunshine. There is a huge area of lawn split into 2 sections with plenty of space for children to play.

The overall plot measures approximately 0.27 acres and is almost completely flat, which is especially unusual for this part of town.
