High Street, Seal, TN15

If you’re seeking a spacious and versatile family home, don’t dismiss this attractive home in the heart of Seal village. Looks can be deceiving, it has a versatile three storey layout with plenty of potential.

If you’re keen to throw yourself into village life, you won’t find anywhere better than this three bedroom, three storey family home. Being on the High Street means that all the local schools, shops and the village hall are all just a short walk away.

And despite outward appearances, you really won’t have to sacrifice space for the heart of the village location.

This traditional property does look quite small from the outside but with three storeys (plus a usable basement) there’s more than enough room for growing families. There's also plenty of potential to get creative by reconfiguring the layout or even adding extra space.

The ground floor has a warm and welcoming country kitchen at the front, with shaker-style fitted units and gorgeous Karndean flooring. There’s space to sit and eat, or just pull up a chair and catch up with a cuppa at the end of a busy day.

There’s a spacious lounge / dining room at the rear. The lounge has a traditional stove set in an attractive wooden surround and French doors lead out to the conservatory.

The first floor has two double bedrooms, the main family bathroom and a separate w/c. The largest bedroom at the front has built-in wardrobes and a walk-in shower cubicle.

There’s another double bedroom on the top floor, in the converted attic space.

The basement offers more than just storage space - it’s currently set out as a handy utility room in one part of the room and we have attached a virtually staged image showing it as a gym in the other.

By now you may be getting to grips with the surprising amount of space inside this traditional terraced home - but you’re still going to get a shock at the size of the garden.

You just wouldn’t expect a property so close to the centre of the village to have a south facing garden that measures almost 80ft (24m). And you certainly wouldn’t expect it to be so private and secluded.

French doors lead from the conservatory to a lovely raised decked area, which will be ideal for entertaining or just sitting out to enjoy the sun.

The mature garden has something for everyone - including the abundant wildlife. There's a kitchen garden, greenhouse and shed at the end of the garden, perfect for green-fingered gardeners to get creative.

But there’s also a surprising amount of practical space, with off street parking for 2 cars at the rear.

The current layout offers a surprising amount of space for growing families but there is the potential to reconfigure the layout or even extend (subject to planning permission, of course).

A permanent rear extension could replace the conservatory. That would allow the construction of a spacious and modern open plan kitchen / diner / family room.

Doing that would then allow the kitchen to become a separate living room or snug.

And there is also the potential to make a few simple adjustments to the first floor layout in order to create ensuite shower rooms in both bedrooms.

Living in Seal offers the best of both worlds. It’s a quiet village with local amenities and excellent schools on your doorstep.

But it’s still only a 10 minute drive into Sevenoaks when you do want to hit the shops or catch up with friends.

Seal Primary School (rated “Good” by Ofsted) is just half a mile away. Trinity School, Weald of Kent Grammar and Tunbridge Wells Grammar School for Boys are all within a 15-minute walk.

The village also has a selection of shops, a pub and takeaways - everything you’ll need on a day to day basis.

If you need to head further afield, regular trains from Sevenoaks will take you to London Bridge in less than half an hour or to the coast at Hastings in around an hour.

It’s something of a cliché but this really is a “deceptively spacious” family home that’s likely to appeal to a wide range of buyers.

If you want to see it for yourself - to see how much space and potential it offers - call to arrange a viewing.
