The main house boasts accommodation of adaptable spaces to the ground floor of a central entrance hall, cloakroom/wc, two reception rooms, rear study, kitchen breakfast room, utility and integral garage. To the first floor in the main house are four bedrooms, family bathroom and small separate shower room. The annex has its own entrance to the front of the property and is independent of the main house with entrance hall leading to the landing, sitting/dining room to the rear, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. The rear south westerly orientated garden is generously proportioned but is a manageable size with patio and lawn area and mature boundaries. To the front is a good size driveway which leads to the garage. This vacant possession home is looking for a new custodian that will now modernise and refresh its interior and with its versatile accommodation it is sure to suit an array of buyers, including growing families or those from London looking for an ‘escape to Kent’ and a 'get away from it all' experience. This family home that you can make your own is located in the popular Kentish village of Otford and benefits from many local amenities including Otford main line station.

Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s

The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2
Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on June 21, 2023
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
