Oakfield Cottage is a well-presented 3-BEDROOM DETACHED NEO-GEORGIAN STYLE FAMILY HOME of 1,456 sq.ft., ideally positioned just a few minutes’ walk to the MAINLINE RAILWAY STATION and HIGHLY REGARDED PRIMARY SCHOOL, and approximately a 10-minute walk to the village centre. Having been well-maintained and much loved by the current family for the past 20 years, the property was previously EXTENDED TO THE FRONT to provide a larger reception hall and snug area to the living room, with further scope to EXTEND TO THE SIDE (STPC) potentially incorporating/converting the attached garage.

Glorious open countryside surrounds this sought-after village, set within the HIGH WEALD AREA OF OUTSTANDING NATURAL BEAUTY, with its network of public footpaths and bridleways. Further is a general store, coffee shop, church and the popular Half Moon pub to its heart centre along with SWIFT AND EASY ROAD ACCESS to the M23 which is also an advantage.

The well-arranged accommodation comprises a bright and welcoming ENTRANCE AREA leading into a long, spacious RECEPTION HALL with understairs storage cupboard, CLOAKROOM/WC and a door opening to the rear garden. A generous double-aspect SITTING ROOM runs from front to rear and includes a SNUG area to the front, which could easily be converted into a separate study or playroom. To the rear, a spacious DINING ROOM overlooks the delightful garden and sits open plan to the well-appointed KITCHEN, fitted with wood-fronted wall and base units, black granite worksurfaces and integrated appliances including a double electric oven, 5-burner gas hob with extractor, dishwasher, under-counter fridge and freezer. Space and plumbing are also provided for a washing machine, while an external door gives access to the driveway.

From the reception hall, a staircase rises to the FIRST-FLOOR LANDING, where a large window fills the space with natural light. The landing leads to THREE DOUBLE BEDROOMS, including a MAIN BEDROOM with fitted wardrobes spanning one wall and BEDROOM TWO, which also benefits from fitted wardrobes. BEDROOM THREE includes a wash-hand basin and airing cupboard, while the FAMILY SHOWER ROOM is fitted with a large walk-in shower, pedestal basin and WC.

OUTSIDE

To the FRONT, a double-gated block-paviour PRIVATE DRIVEWAY provides parking for several vehicles and leads to a single ATTACHED GARAGE (providing scope to potentially convert/extend – STPC) with power, lighting and a personal door to the rear garden. High hedging to the front and side offers a good degree of privacy.

Gated side access with a lean-to style covering leads to a delightful, fully enclosed and landscaped EAST-FACING REAR GARDEN. A PATIO extends across the rear of the house with a sloping rockery beyond, rising by a few steps to an extensive lawn with a superb composite DECKING AREA to one side. High hedging creates excellent privacy and seclusion, while a further LARGE PATIO in the far corner is ideal for evening alfresco dining and entertaining. A TIMBER SHED is positioned to the other side of the property.
