House For Sale £1,250,000
Substantial family home with planning permission for outbuilding conversion to provide ancillary accommodation set in a convenient location within the Cranbrook School catchment area.
Santolina is a delightful well proportioned detached family home offering comprehensive, spacious and versatile accommodation set on the periphery of the village of Sissinghurst. It is flooded with lots of natural light making it a light, bright and airy home. The property began life as a chalet bunaglow but today is a two storey dwelling which offers the possibility for multi-generational living. The current custodians have expanded and enhanced the property beyond recognition from its roots and the workshop located in the garden offers additional potential to create further ancillary accommodation with planning permission granted in 2020 for a two bedroom annexe.
The ground floor accommodation comprises of a sitting room, dining room, kitchen/breakfast room, utility room, home office, playroom, snug/additional bedroom and shower room. To the first floor are five bedrooms two with en suites and a family bathroom.
Outside the gardens are a real delight, enclosed by mature trees and hedging providing privacy and seclusion from neighbouring properties. Spanning circa 0.73 acres, there are areas to satisfy all the family. A paved terrace to the rear and side of the property offers space for outside dining or enjoying the evening summer sun with a refreshing drink. There are beautifully planted beds and an area of lawn to the rear of the property; a real haven for the green thumbed amongst us. In addition, there is an area of grass to the side of the property for which five-a-side football would not be out of place. The driveway is approached through a five bar gate and provides off road parking for a number of vehicles.
Santolina is accompanied by a gardener’s shed and bike store, single garage with manual up and over door and a workshop. The workshop occupies a deceptively large footprint and is an ideal space for either continuing to use it as such or for converting into the two bedroom annexe that planning has been granted for.
