Gracious Lane, Sevenoaks, Kent, TN13

Character home of charm with mature gardens, set in a sought after spot

Description

Offered with no onward chain and situated on the highly regarded south side of Sevenoaks, within the Metropolitan Greenbelt and an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this charming detached property dates from 1880 with later additions, and comes to the market for the first time in over 40 years.

The accommodation is arranged across one floor and offers an incoming purchaser a unique opportunity to update as required, subject to the necessary building consents. The established gardens have a predominantly westerly aspect with mature hedging to the boundaries, creating a high degree of privacy and the total plot amounts to about 0.75 of an acre.

There are two reception rooms comprising a sitting room with an open fireplace and sliding doors to the rear terrace and a dining room with exposed wall and ceiling timbers, French doors to the terrace and an inglenook fireplace inset with a wood burning stove.

The kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units with space for appliances and there is an adjoining bright breakfast room, with gas fireplace and access to the rear garden.

There are three bedrooms, one with sliding doors out to the garden and served by an en suite shower room, and a family bathroom.

To the front, a driveway provides parking for multiple vehicles and leads on to a detached double garage. A terrace adjoins to the rear garden, which has a level area of lawn, interspersed with mature deciduous and coniferous trees and enclosed by deep, established borders, creating year-round privacy. There are two summerhouses, one with power connected, and towards the rear boundary there is an area of woodland.
