House For Sale £935,000
Based around a period cottage believed to have been built in 1642 this charming family home sits in a quiet location on a private road and is surrounded by its well set out gardens. Later additions (in the 1940's and 1960's) now mean the house covers nearly 2000ft2 of living space and contains four bedrooms alongside flexible living and entertaining rooms.
Approached up the private road of Platt Common the property sits in the middle of its land and benefits from a large garage and parking space accessed from a side lane. A charming gate entry and period cobbled path leads from Platt Common to the original front door whilst a majority of access now comes through the kitchen door opening out onto the parking area. The house is based around its 17th Century original cottage (the original front door has been kept as part of the exterior wall to the western side of the house) and is set over a number of levels .
Entry to the kitchen on the ground floor comes from the parking area at the front of the house and the kitchen is focused around a central cooking island and includes a purpose built eat-in table by the stairs leading to the formal entry hallway. A large and light family room with south facing sliding doors then is set alongside the kitchen providing space for dining (and in the summer immediate access to the south facing terrace) or use as a family room/children's play room. A half set of stairs then leads to the formal entrance to the property, set on the western side of the house (alongside the original 17th entrance, now part of the western wall-line) which acts as the fulcrum towards the living space and the bedrooms on the first floor. The south side of the property is then taken by a large dual aspect living room which was once the mainstay of the original house. A large fireplace sits on the northern wall whilst windows on both the eastern and western side provide excellent light throughout the day. An office runs off this living room whilst a well equipped utility room and guest WC also provides an external door to the south facing garden.
From the entrance hallway a set of half steps then leads towards the master suite which enjoys south facing windows and en suite whilst an additional double bedroom and family bathroom sit alongside off the corridor. Two additional bedrooms then are found up a further half flight of stairs. Loft access (to both a main loft above the master bedroom and into the eaves alongside the two top bedrooms) provides ample storage space.
The house sits in the middle of its land and enjoys a pedestrian gate and cobbled pathway from the road as well as vehicle access on the northern side of the property where a large garage also sits. The mainstay of the garden is set to lawn on the south side of the house - alongside the south facing terrace leading out form the kitchen/garden room - enjoying excellent light, warmth and privacy whilst an additional lawn on the western edge (alongside a vegetable garden) compliments the various seating spots set around the property.
The house is located in St Marys Platt with its thriving local community; with parish church, popular pub and local primary school. The house is also then within easy reach of Borough Green with its range of shops, amenities and train station with services to Victoria. Sevenoaks is then approximately 8 miles away to the west and provides a wider range of services together with a train line into London Bridge and Charing Cross. Both the M25 and M20 are easily accessible providing access to London and South East.
