High Street, Seal, Sevenoaks, Kent

PROPERTY
This stunning double fronted period house with elevations of red brick complemented by decorative tile hanging and ornate gables was built circa 1830 and has been renovated throughout by the current owners. It is presented with real style, offering a mixture of character charm with a contemporary high spec finish.

The entrance door opens into hallway with engineered oak flooring that flows throughout the downstairs space. To the right hand side is a dining room which boasts triple glazed casement windows with monkey tail handles and picture rails. Continuing down the entrance hall on the left hand side is the cosy sitting room, where a working fireplace provides a wonderful focal point to the space. The kitchen / breakfast room is located at the rear of the house overlooking the back garden. It features a range of 'shaker' style wall and base units with quartz worktops and matching upstand. There is plenty of cupboard space with a breakfast bar providing a place for informal dining and French doors leading out to the patio. Integrated appliances include a dishwasher, extractor fan and washing machine. A downstairs WC with wooden panelling completes the downstairs accommodation.

Upstairs, the first floor landing leads to three good-sized bedrooms and the family bathroom. Bedrooms 1 and 2 are particularly generous double rooms with Bedroom 3 being a spacious single which can accommodate a double bed. The bathroom has been finished in a modern style befitting a boutique hotel with plenty of built-in storage. There is a beautiful freestanding bath with floor standing bath spout, separate walk-in shower with glass screen, floating basin, towel radiator and WC with hidden cistern.

The property benefits from mains gas central heating with a modern combi boiler. All the windows to the rear are double glazed with the front windows all triple glazed for excellent energy performance and sound proofing.

OUTSIDE
The exterior has been beautifully landscaped to the same high standard as the interior. There is a low maintenance front garden with traditional picket fencing and neat hedges to the border. A beautiful pattern tiled pathway leads to the entrance door which is covered by a decorative porch with ornate timber detailing on a stone base.

The back garden is fully enclosed with a delightful ragstone wall running down the right hand boundary. To the immediate rear of the house is a gravelled patio which benefits from outdoor lighting, a water tap and exterior plug sockets with a brick built store providing handy outdoor storage. A set of steps leads up to a flat lawned garden with raised beds to the rear filled with a trio of olive trees and decorative box providing additional colour. A contemporary fence separates the garden from the parking area which is accessed from Pudding Lane. The driveway can easily accommodate a large SUV secured behind timber double gates with plenty of space for additional storage. The garden itself is approximately 35 feet long with the parking area adding a further 24 feet of outdoor space.
