Description
Property Description: Guide Price £750,000 - £800,000. Set well back from Canterbury Road behind a long approach, this substantial detached home occupies just under half an acre in Kennington, creating a surprisingly private setting within easy reach of Ashford. Mature trees and established planting surround the house, with extensive gardens, generous parking and three separate outbuildings adding considerably to the sense of space.
The accommodation has evolved into a particularly flexible family home, with the ground floor centred around an impressive kitchen and dining room. Extending to almost 28 feet, this is a genuinely sociable space with extensive cabinetry, granite worktops, a central island and a comprehensive arrangement of appliances. Large windows look directly across the garden, while the dining area extends into a glazed section where doors open onto the terrace.
Alongside the kitchen is a dual-aspect living room, a more defined space with a feature fireplace and doors opening directly to the garden. Its proportions allow for several seating areas without losing the comfortable feel of a family sitting room.
The remainder of the ground floor provides an unusual amount of flexibility. There is a separate study for working from home, while the former garage has been incorporated into the accommodation and is currently used as a gym. At over 17 feet in length, this room could just as easily become a playroom, snug, hobby room or occasional fifth bedroom depending on the needs of its next owners.
A separate utility room provides further storage and workspace away from the kitchen, while a ground floor cloakroom completes the practical accommodation. Air conditioning has been installed in key areas of the house and the central heating boiler has recently been replaced.
Upstairs, all four bedrooms are doubles. The principal bedroom is particularly well proportioned and has air conditioning together with its own en-suite bathroom, fitted with both a bath and separate walk-in shower. The remaining three bedrooms are served by the family bathroom with separate cloakroom, giving the first floor a straightforward and practical arrangement for family life.
Outside: The gardens are arguably what set the property apart. Extending around the house and framed by mature trees and shrubs, they create a wonderfully leafy backdrop with a degree of privacy that is difficult to appreciate from the road. Broad lawns provide plenty of room for children, entertaining and gardening, while a substantial paved terrace immediately behind the house creates a natural outdoor dining area.
The scale of the plot also leaves scope for a future owner to explore further possibilities. The current owners had considered additional accommodation, including an annexe and further rooms above part of the ground floor, although any alterations or development would be subject to the necessary planning and building consents.
Parking and storage are equally generous. A large driveway provides off-road parking for numerous vehicles, while the detached outbuildings comprise a double garage, further single garage and workshop. Together they provide considerable space for cars, storage, hobbies or projects.
Location: Kennington in particular is popular for its blend of homes ranging from old to new, character to modern as well as a variety of home sizes to suit all ages.
