House For Sale £1,395,000
This impressive detached family home has extensive, flexible accommodation and is set in the popular village of Chipstead on the outskirts of sought-after Sevenoaks. The property is believed to have been built in the 1950s and benefits from a wealth of character features, including a fantastic array of stained-glass windows, an ornate fireplace and an oak staircase. These have been well incorporated by our client into the modern décor of the home, which has been subject to a number of improvements in recent years such as a new kitchen, a two-storey extension, garden landscaping and general cosmetic improvements throughout.
The house has a welcoming feel and a versatile layout offering excellent potential for home working, with the second garage / studio being ideal as a home office.
The accommodation is very spacious, extending to over 2500 sq ft, comprising an entrance hall, impressive double aspect drawing room, family room, dining room, kitchen / breakfast, utility room and ground floor shower / clock room. On the first floor there is a principal bedroom open to an en suite bath/shower room, four further good size bedrooms and a family bathroom with freestanding bath and separate shower/ clock room.

There is mature planting all around the house including a climbing wisteria over the front porch and a variety of handsome trees around the property. The secluded rear garden is mostly lawned and features a choice of decking areas for outdoor dining.
