Set in a semi rural highly popular Ightham village location with great
potential is this four bedroom attached house. Just a short distance from the
village centre and within easy reach of both Borough Green and Sevenoaks.
A fantastic family home that has a very cosy feel throughout offering three
reception spaces including a conservatory, a garage and drive, two bathrooms
plus a downstairs WC and an extended rear garden taking advantage of
additional land offered by the council for a small annual fee.
The potential to extend is obvious but is always subject to planning, as the
neighbours on both sides have done so with great success to offer a large
living kitchen dining option across the rear.
We can't wait to show you round this wonderful home that is sure to be
popular.
**Description**
Approached via a country lane into the block paved drive leading to an
attached garage the house sits well in its position amongst others of its
type.
A welcoming entrance hallway via a covered entrance sets the tone to the house
and its mid 30's layout which we are all comfortable with an d works so well.
Under stairs storage cupboards offer storage before entering to the right into
the large open plan reception spaces. Flexible in their uses, a bayed front
room currently used as a dining space pours light into the rooms. A now
blocked fireplace would have been an original feature and options to reopen
are a possibility. Centrally is the sitting room with feature fireplace and
alcoves to the side. Both rooms have coving to keep in touch with the origins
of this homes era. A large conservatory sits to the rear overlooking the
garden and is a wonderful additional space to relax taking in the day. Doors
lead out and open to a decking area for socialising.
The kitchen is accessed from the hallway and is of a galley style with plenty
of storage and utilities set against both walls. Light from double aspect
windows to the rear and side lights this space. A rear lobby with a door to
the rear garden also offers access to the downstairs WC ideal for a family
buyer and positioned well for those that love gardening.
Upstairs, a central landing gives access to all bedrooms and bathrooms. The
largest bedroom looks out to the front with a duplicate bay window as below
and a bank of wardrobes across one wall. The second bedroom is across the
landing situated over the garage space and is accessed by passing a shower
room that could easily be incorporated to become an ensuite facility to this
room. A further double bedroom sits behind the principal one with views over
the rear garden and built in storage space. The smallest bedroom sits
centrally to the front and is almost square in its shape making an ideal study
or single bedroom / nursery. Centrally to the rear is a bright bathroom with
three piece modern white suite with mosaic detailed tiling. Properties to the
side of this house of a similar build have taken the great opportunity to
build into the roof space and 1930's houses are very much open to this kind of
extension, subject to obtaining planning permission, but with the precedent
set next door we would expect this to be allowed.
Externally to the rear is one of this family homes great assets. A raised deck
area looks out over the garden that is set out in two sections. The immediate
grassed area is on the plans and forms a lawn and mature borders. To the rear
an additional piece of land is rented by the owners for a mere £50 per annum
from the local council. As we understand it most of the properties in this
area do the same and this offers a fantastic space for the kids to roam and
play away from the fancy plants! To the front is a formal front garden with
block paved drive leading to garage offering spaces for vehicles that could be
extended to offer more.
