Quietly located within a secluded sylvan setting, this charming family home has been in the same ownership for over 40 years. Traditionally built in the 1930s, Tall Trees has appealing Kentish style white clapboard elevations, with shutters to the windows. Extended by the current owners, the property has grown over time and now offers spacious accommodation of circa 3313 sqft. The characterful rooms are elegantly arranged over two floors, providing sociable family areas as well as more formal rooms. Well loved and cared for over the years, the property is now ready for a new family to make it their own mark, with potential to extend further subject to appropriate planning permissions.

Approached over the wide drive, a front door opens into the spacious reception hall, which houses the cloakroom and a large coat closet. Doors open to the principal reception rooms which include a wonderfully light, double aspect family room. Originally designed as a music room, it has a tall semi vaulted ceiling and a cosy fire place with an attractive wood surround. A door opens to the front of the house, making this versatile space ideal for use as a home office/studio. Also from the hall is the dining room and the formal drawing room, both of which feature wide bay windows and have French doors to the rear terrace, and garden beyond.

Very much the heart of the house the kitchen/breakfast room offers a welcoming space for family and friends to gather. Comprehensively fitted, the kitchen has a range of farmhouse style wall and floor cabinets and integral appliances, which include an electric double oven and hob with extractor above, dishwasher, fridge /freezer and a microwave. From the kitchen, the large utility/boot room has deep storage cupboards, one of which houses the hot water tank, providing a useful drying area. Doors open into the garden room, then onto the terrace, ideal for containing muddy children or dogs. The three car garage is also accessed from the utility room and has two electrically operated doors.

Upstairs, to the first floor are four double bedrooms, a family bathroom, shower room and a separate w.c.

Outside, the property is approached over a sweeping drive, which provides parking and turning for several vehicles, to the front of the integral garage and the house. Set back from the road, the house is surrounded by beautifully maintained gardens and grounds, which feature mature rhododendrons and specimen trees, together with well-planned borders, giving colour throughout the year. In all the plot is circa 2.5 acres.

Tall Trees enjoys a secluded and tranquil setting on the fringe of the sought after village of Crockham Hill which is renowned for its excellent primary school. Nearby the pretty town of Westerham has historic connections with Winston Churchill, who lived locally at Chartwell and General Wolfe. The town offers a good range of shopping facilities, antique shops and excellent restaurants. The larger, nearby towns of Oxted and Sevenoaks both have an excellent range of educational, recreational and shopping facilities together with mainline stations. Journeys to Central London take about 33/39 minutes. The M25 is accessible via Junctions 5 or 6 with good connections to the other motorway networks, Gatwick, Heathrow and Stansted airports, the Channel Tunnel and Bluewater shopping centre.
