PROPERTY
This delightful period home was built in the early 1900s and has been extended and renovated throughout by the current owners. It offers a wonderful mix of character, charm and contemporary living with high ceilings and a light and airy feel. The entrance door opens into a hallway with space for coats and shoes and stairs to the first floor straight ahead. To the right-hand side is a wonderful sitting room with dado rails, built in cupboards/shelves either side of the chimney breast and a large window overlooking the front garden. The dining room offers a formal space to entertain and is currently used as a playroom/reception room with a large cupboard under the stairs providing handy storage space. At the rear of the house overlooking the garden is the marvellous kitchen which has been updated and extended to allow for a dining area with a large set of bi-folding doors that can be opened up to incorporate outdoor living into everyday life. There is a range of contemporary wall and base units with solid oak worktops, inset sink and stylish chamfered tiled splashback. Integrated appliances include a dishwasher, microwave, fridge-freezer electric oven, extractor hood and 4 burner gas hob.

Upstairs the first floor landing leads to two double bedrooms and the family bathroom. The front bedroom is set up as the master and benefits from fitted wardrobes. The family bathroom is particularly spacious and has been upgraded with feature artwork wall paper and contemporary fittings. There is a large bath, separate freestanding shower with glass cubicle, basin with integrated vanity unit, low level W.C. and an original cast iron fireplace. There are two further bedrooms in the converted loft space with the back bedroom enjoying views out to the Sevenoaks Downs.

The property benefits from double glazed windows and mains gas central heating with a modern combi boiler.

OUTSIDE
The house is set back from the road behind a pretty front garden, mainly laid to lawn with a low brick wall and attractive box hedging around the boundary. A block paved pathway runs through the front garden to the entrance door. The current owners park on the cul de sac directly in front of the house but there is potential to convert the front garden into a formal driveway which could then accommodate 2 vehicles.

The delightful back garden is fully enclosed and features well stocked beds filled with a variety of flowering shrubs and plants with mature hedging providing privacy. To the immediate rear of the house is a beautiful slate patio providing an ideal spot for al fresco entertaining with a sand pit and cosy built-in seating area ideal for small children. Beyond the patio is a good sized area of lawn on a flat plot with a timber garden shed providing handy outside storage.
