Description

A rare opportunity to acquire this exceptional 1930s extended detached family home, set within an impressive half-acre plot and enjoying a generous south-facing rear garden. Beautifully combining period charm with modern family living, this substantial residence has been lovingly maintained and significantly enhanced by the current owners, who have enjoyed the property for over 20 years.

During their ownership, the home has been thoughtfully extended with a substantial two-storey addition, creating an abundance of versatile living space. Immaculately presented throughout, the property is tastefully decorated and offers a wonderful blend of character, comfort, and a true countryside ambience.

The accommodation comprises a welcoming entrance hall, a spacious dual-aspect lounge featuring a wood-burning stove, a separate sitting room currently utilised as a home office, cloakroom, utility room, integral garage, and undoubtedly the centrepiece of the home—a magnificent open-plan kitchen, dining and family room with bi-fold doors opening onto the south-facing garden.

To the first floor are four generous double bedrooms, two of which benefit from en-suite facilities, together with a fifth single bedroom/study and a luxurious family bathroom complete with a separate shower and double-ended bath.

Externally, the property enjoys an extensive frontage providing ample off-road parking and is set well back from the road, offering both privacy and kerb appeal. The beautiful south-facing rear garden further benefits from a pedestrian gate providing direct access to Tudor Park Country Club and public foothpaths into the countrside surrounding Otham.
