Description
GUIDE PRICE £550,000 - £575,000
Available for the first time to the market since built in 1966, this five bedroom detached chalet bungalow requires areas of modernisation but has bags of potential. Located in an elevated position with rural views to rear, the property is located in the popular village of Farningham. Comprising entrance hall, cloak room W.C., L'shaped open plan sitting/dining room, kitchen, three bedrooms, one of which could be used as a study and a bathroom completes the ground floor accommodation. To the first floor, are two further bedrooms which are spacious enough to potentially incorporate en-suites. To the rear and side is a hedged garden and to the side is a driveway for several cars leading to the detached garage. They say you should never judge a book by its cover and this is the case with this particular property as it is deceivingly larger on the inside than first appears with versatile accommodation as the five bedrooms could be used for other purposes. The property is just a short walk into the village which offers riverside walks, wonderful family pubs along with other attractions. This vacant possession home is now looking for a new custodian that will now refresh its interior and is sure to suit an array of buyers, including growing families or those from London looking for an ‘escape to the country’ and a 'get away from it all' experience and yet is still conveniently located for road and rail links into central London. The historic village falls in the Sevenoaks District of Kent and dates back to Roman times.
Location
Farningham Village is a conservation area and can trace its history back to Neolithic times – flint and other tools have been discovered and these can be found in the Dartford Museum. The Romans occupied the general area after their invasion in the 1st century and, along with evidence of habitation down the road in Lullingstone, there is also evidence of Roman habitation in Farningham. Three farmhouses and three villas have been unearthed. The River Darent provided excellent trout fishing and Charles Dickens was a regular visitor here. Farningham had a watermill, powered by the River Darent, the building of which survives. There are three public houses in Farningham and its proximity to neighbouring Eynsford allows for further access to restaurants, tea rooms, shops and public houses. It also has a mainline railway station (Farningham Road) with regular services to London Victoria. Excellent road links from the area give access to Sevenoaks, A2/M2, A20/M20, M25 and (truncated)
