Sham Farm Road, Eridge Green

This substantial seven bedroom detached home set within an extremely desirable location is being offered for sale for the first time since its construction in 1969. The property has been in the ownership of the same family since being built and has been a wonderful home but now the time has come to pass the property on to a new family to make it their home. The accommodation is extremely versatile allowing the possibility of multi-generational living or perhaps working from home. There is a generous sitting room with an open inglenook style fireplace and a large separate dining room provides excellent spaces for entertaining, whilst the kitchen/breakfast room will also accommodate a good sized table. Other features include a separate study, utility space and boot room and with the seven bedrooms having access to multiple bathrooms we hope most large families will be well catered for. There are large lawned gardens which surround the property and extensive areas of patio adjoining the swimming pool at the rear making it an excellent spot for outside entertaining, whilst the additional woodland makes a wonderful area for exploring. For any car enthusiast there is plenty of off road parking leading to a four car garage which has the additional benefit of a games room above which could also be used for storage or office if required. The property has an oil fired central heating system with many of the windows being secondary double glazed and there is private drainage. This really is quite a unique opportunity and with the benefit of no forward chain this really is one home we have no hesitation in recommending without delay.
