PROPERTY
This charming detached home was built in 2000 and offers spacious accommodation a stones throw away from Otford Station and high street.

A set of double doors to the left hand side leads to a large sitting room which measures over 20 feet in length with French doors that lead out to the patio. Adjoining the sitting room, is a dining room offering a formal place to entertain. In recent times it has been used as a study and even a 4th bedroom. The kitchen offers plenty of cupboard space with a range of timber wall and base units with laminate worktops and tiled splashback.

The property has double glazed aluminium windows and mains gas central heating with a modern boiler. It is a spacious home as it is, but for those looking to add space and value to this fantastic house there is plenty of extension or even development potential (subject to obtaining any necessary planning consents). 

OUTSIDE
The property is situated in a tucked away position set well back from Station Road. A long shingled driveway measuring approximately 200 feet opens out to provide off-road parking for multiple vehicles and leads to the integral double garage which has electric doors. There is neat hedging to the boundaries and a lawned front garden that has a green house, compost heap and vegetable patch, ideal for those who like to grow their own food and plants. A large pine tree to the right hand side has a tree preservation order (TPO). To the right hand side of the house, there is a bin store area and a gated pathway that provides access to the rear.

The back garden is a stunning feature, offering a surprising level of privacy despite the central location. There are numerous planted beds containing a wide variety of herbaceous shrubs, flowering plants and several specimen trees. It has been designed to provide colour and variety throughout the seasons whilst also being low maintenance. To the immediate rear of the property is a paved patio providing an ideal spot for al fresco entertaining and there is plenty of lawn space for children to play.

The total plot including the driveway measures approximately 0.42 of an acre.
