Scotts Way, Sevenoaks, Kent

PROPERTY
This well presented link-detached home was built in the 1970s, offering lots of space with further potential. The entrance door opens into a large hallway with stairs to the first floor straight ahead. Beautiful parquet flooring flows into the open-plan living / dining room which is ideal for modern family life and has a working fireplace providing a nice focal point to the room. It is particularly bright thanks to a large bay window at the front and a set of sliding glass doors in the dining area. These lead into the wonderful conservatory, which is a great space to enjoy the garden all year around. The kitchen which is at the back of the property is fitted with a range of contemporary handle-less wall and base units with a worktop over incorporating stainless steel sink with drainer and tiled splash back. Integrated appliances include an electric double oven, 4 ring gas hob and extractor hood with space for a free-standing fridge freezer and dishwasher. A door provides direct access into the back garden. The attached garage can be accessed thanks to an internal door from the entrance hall. It benefits from power and lighting with a utility space at the rear.

Upstairs there is a family bathroom, separate WC and 3 bedrooms. The master bedroom and bedroom 2 are both spacious double rooms with the latter boasting fitted wardrobes. Bedroom 3 is a single room which would also make an excellent home office. The family bathroom is finished in a neutral style with a modern white suite including hidden cistern WC with integrated basin and vanity storage unit, panelled bath with shower over and glass screen. There is a separate WC adjoining the bathroom providing a handy additional loo. 

It is a good sized property as it is but for those looking to add space and value to this fantastic house there is plenty of extension potential (subject to obtaining any necessary planning consents). The property has double glazing throughout and mains gas central heating with a modern boiler.

OUTSIDE
A tarmac driveway provides off-road parking and leads to the attached garage which has an up and over door. There is a pretty front garden mostly laid to lawn with neat hedging providing screening, set behind a low brick wall. A gate to the left hand side provides access to the rear.

The back garden is east facing and flat with timber fencing to the boundaries. There is a small paved patio and a good-sized area of lawn for children to play. The borders are well stocked with a wide variety of herbaceous shrubs, flowers and bushes with a shed providing handy outside storage.

LOCATION
The property is situated in a lovely residential cul de sac in the centre of Riverhead Village, 1 mile from Sevenoaks mainline (fast rail services to London Bridge, Waterloo East, Charing Cross & Cannon Street in as little as 23 minutes).
