Nursery Place, Sevenoaks, Kent

PROPERTY
This detached family home was built in the 1970s and is positioned on a much sought after and desirable cul-de-sac. Internally, the accommodation is spacious and immaculately presented with contemporary fixtures updated by the current owner. It is a particularly bright house with natural light flooding in throughout the day thanks to its sunny orientation and large windows.

The front door opens into an entrance hall with carpeted flooring and a storage cupboard for coats and shoes. To the left hand side is the formal dining room, which is dual aspect with a particularly large window overlooking the wonderful back garden.

Double doors lead from the hallway into the sitting room which is particularly spacious measuring almost 19 feet in length. It is also dual aspect with a set of sliding doors leading out onto the garden patio. An attractive fireplace with marble surround and gas fire provides a lovely focal point to the room.

The marvellous kitchen has been finished to a high specification with a range of ‘shaker’ style wall and base units with solid wood worktops and tiled splashback. A range of integrated appliances include an induction hob, electric oven, extraction hood, dishwasher and wine fridge are included in the sale. There is a breakfast bar offering an informal place to eat and a door that leads outside.

Upstairs, the first floor landing leads to the master bedroom suite, four further bedrooms and the family bathroom.

An attractive block paved driveway provides ample off-road parking and leads to the detached double garage.

There is a neatly landscaped front garden with a variety of flowering plants and shrubs and two specimen trees. A pathway leads to the entrance door and wraps around to the right hand side where there is gated access to the rear.

The west facing back garden is a wonderful feature with the rear boundary defined by a beautiful brick wall which was part of the Chipstead Place estate. It is flat and fully enclosed offering plenty of space for children to play with a large area of lawn.

The boundaries are filled with an attractive selection of plants that provide colour and interest through the seasons.
