An extremely attractive family house finished to a high standard and with excellent access to local schooling & within 0.5 miles of Sevenoaks station. The property benefits from a large garden, driveway and has planning permission to extend into the loft space.

THE PROPERTY
This delightful family home is located in a small close of similar detached properties a short walk from Sevenoaks mainline station. The house has been extended and renovated by the current owners and provides a mix of both open-plan and separate accommodation with a modern finish.

The property is very well presented and the accommodation is bright and airy accentuated by the bi-folding doors in the open plan living / dining room and the lantern skylight.

The front door leads into a generous entrance hall providing access to all of the principle rooms. To the right-hand side is the sitting room which has a lovely bay window and overlooks the front garden. From this room you go through to a further reception room that could also be used as a downstairs bedroom as it has a shower room leading off it. These rooms have their own separate thermostat so they can be heated independently from the rest of the house if needed and could provide a separate living space for a relative or nanny if needed.

On the left there is a w.c. and storage cupboard and ahead is the door to the study which has a built in cupboard. Finally you access the stunning open plan kitchen / dining / living
accommodation designed for modern family living. A large set of bi-folding doors open out to the garden, bringing the outside in and making the transition seamless from inside to out.

The kitchen itself has a range of bespoke wall and base units with complimentary work surfaces running over incorporating an under counter sink with chrome mixer tap. There is a double oven, induction hob, dishwasher, free standing American style fridge freezer, full height larder cupboard and an island which has an integrated wine cooler, extra storage along with space for two stools providing a lovely spot for breakfast or a morning coffee. Lighting is provided by both recessed spotlights and two pendant lights over the island.

The living area is open plan to the dining area providing an ideal space for entertaining and relaxing. A lantern roof light floods the space with light as do the bi-folding doors onto the garden. The whole of this area benefits from underfloor heating and there are sound speakers in the ceiling that can be used by connecting to an App on your phone.

There is a utility room leading from the open plan living area that provides further access to the outside.

Solid Oak flooring is laid throughout the ground floor providing a cohesive feel.

Ascending the stairs to the first floor you come to four good size bedrooms, one with an ensuite and family bathroom.

The master bedroom is a particularly impressive room with a large window overlooking the front of the property. There are fitted wardrobes along one wall and plenty of space for a super king bed. The adjoining ensuite is partly tiled and fitted with a stylish shower cubicle with waterfall shower head and separate hand held shower, w.c. and wash hand basin set within a vanity unit providing a handy storage space.

The other three bedrooms can all accommodate a double bed and bedroom two has the space for an ensuite to be carved out of the room should you wish to put one in and the pipework needed for this is already boxed into the wall.

The family bathroom is fitted with a modern white suite incorporating bath with shower over and vanity unit with wash hand basin. There is a separate w.c. accessed from the landing.

On the landing you will find access to the loft which has planning permission in place for conversion into another bedroom with ensuite.

OUTSIDE
The property is situated in a lovely, well established residential setting in a small close. There is a good size driveway which can accommodate four vehicles and the rest of the garden is laid to lawn with hedged boundaries with a dwarf brick wall at the front.

A covered porch leads to the front door and to the side there is a gate providing access to rear garden.

The lovely rear garden is a delight and there is a large expanse of lawn with raised flower borders to one side and a small patio runs across the back of the house. The boundaries are fenced and at the rear of the garden there is a hardstanding with two wooden sheds, ideal for the storage of gardening equipment. The garden is extremely private and provides an ideal space for children to play.
