3 bedroom semi-detached house for sale

PROPERTY
Located on a quiet road in the centre of Sevenoaks, this attractive character house with timber clad elevations was built in the Victorian era and later extended in the 1980s. It was a cherished home for many years and offers well proportioned accommodation and a period charm.

The entrance door opens into a hallway with stairs to the first floor straight ahead. A door on the left hand side leads to the kitchen, which is fitted with a range of modern wall and base units with tiled worktops and matching splash back. There is plenty of cupboard space with room for a freestanding cooker and fridge. A breakfast bar provides an informal place to sit and eat and an attractive bay window looks out over the front of the property. At the back of the property is a large sitting room with carpeted flooring and an understairs cupboard providing handy storage space. A set of French doors offer pleasant views of the garden and lead out onto the patio. Adjoining the sitting room is a dining room which offers a formal place to entertain. The integral garage has a dedicated utility space and can be accessed via an internal door from the entrance hall. A downstairs WC completes the ground floor accommodation.

Upstairs, the first floor landing leads to three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The master bedroom is particularly spacious and boasts fitted wardrobes. The bathroom has been finished in a neutral style with a modern white suite. There is a bath with shower over and glass screen, wooden vanity unit with basin and concealed cistern WC. The shower room has been recently modernised with stylish floor and wall tiles, a glass corner shower with remote operation, basin with vanity storage and low level WC. For those that don’t need two upstairs bathrooms it may be possible to convert one of them into a 4th bedroom.

The property benefits from mains gas central heating and double glazed windows throughout.

OUTSIDE
The house is approached across a block paved driveway which provides off-road parking. There is some attractive planting to the front of the property including a wonderful Wisteria and a pathway down the right hand side of the house offering direct (gated) access to the back garden. To the rear, there is a fantastic enclosed garden, which is flat and West facing. There are well stocked borders filled with a wide range of flowering and herbaceous shrubs and plants together with an area of lawn. It offers plenty of space for children to play or for you to simply relax and enjoy the sunshine. A beautiful porcelain patio catches the afternoon sun and provides a wonderful spot for alfresco entertaining with a further paved area at the back of the garden that gets the morning sun. A timber shed provides useful outdoor storage.

LOCATION
The property is located in the highly desirable 'Hollybush' area of Sevenoaks Town within walking distance of both the High Street and Sevenoaks mainline station.

Knole Park is also on the doorstep with 1000 acres of deer parkland and the stunning Knole House to explore. Sevenoaks High Street is just 0.5 miles away and has a wide array of boutique shops, cafes and restaurants, a Waitrose, the Stag Theatre and Cinema and a leisure centre with swimming pool and fitness suite.
