House For Sale £575,000
Property
This fantastic property was built in circa 1907 and is presented in excellent order retaining a number of period features. The entrance door leads into a hallway with beautiful parquet flooring that flows through the downstairs living space. The sitting room boasts a wonderful bay window overlooking the front of the property and an open brick fireplace which provides a nice focal point to the room with built-in storage either side. The dining room has been opened out to the kitchen to create a semi-open plan space ideal for modern family living with nice views over the garden. The kitchen is fitted with a range of ‘shaker’ style wall and base units with a worktop over incorporating stainless steel sink and drainer. There is an integrated dishwasher, cooker and extractor hood with space for a washing machine and fridge/freezer and a door providing direct access into the garden.
On the first floor, the main bedroom is at the front of the house with a further large single bedroom. The elegant bathroom has been finished in a period style with attractive panelled walls, wood effect flooring and a white suite incorporating roll top bath, large walk in glass shower cubicle with rain head shower, pedestal wash basin, WC and heated towel radiator. On the second floor there is a further double bedroom which in recent times has also doubled up as a home office space.
The property benefits from double glazed windows and mains gas central heating. There is plenty of extension potential for those who want to add space and value to this fantastic property and planning permission was granted in January 2021 to do a single storey ground floor extension and also to enlarge the loft conversion. Full details are available on request and the planning application can be viewed on the Sevenoaks Planning portal (Reference 20/03152/house).
Outside
There is an area of hardstanding to the immediate front of the property which provides off road parking for 1 vehicle. Further on road parking is available across the road on Betenson Avenue. A pathway running down the side of the house gives access into the rear garden via a timber gate. The garden itself is East facing and offers a pleasant space where one can entertain friends and family. There is a patio area laid with stone paving to the immediate rear of the property providing a nice spot for al fresco entertaining and a large area of lawn allows plenty of space for children to play. A variety of shrubs, plants and hedging provide colour and privacy to this delightful garden.
Location
The property is conveniently located in the North side of Sevenoaks on the edge of Riverhead Village, less than 1 mile from Sevenoaks mainline station (fast rail services to London Bridge, Waterloo East, Charing Cross & Cannon Street in as little as 23 minutes). There are numerous amenities on the doorstep including a dentist, chemist, optician, barbers, butchers, a Tesco superstore and numerous other restaurants and food outlets in Riverhead itself. There is also quick access to a Sainsburys superstore in Otford where there is also a small retail park. Nearby is Sevenoaks Wildlife Reserve with stunning lakes and peaceful scenery for walks and birdwatching. Sevenoaks High Street is approximately 1.4 miles away, with a further range of shops and restaurants and recreational facilities including the leisure centre and Knole Park.
Access to the M25 (junction 5) and A21 can be found at the Chevening interchange approximately 1 mile away which leads to the major motorway network providing easy access to Gatwick Airport, Channel Tunnel Terminus and the excellent Bluewater shopping centre.
Schooling is excellent in the area with Riverhead Infants, Amherst Junior, Chevening and Sevenoaks Primary schools and most are within walking distance together with Knole Academy. Trinity School and the Weald of Kent Grammar Annexe are a short drive away and there are several top class private schools close by including the internationally renowned Sevenoaks School as well as further grammar schools for both boys and girls in Tonbridge and Tunbridge Wells. For younger families, the property is a short walk to Squiggles Day Nursery and Bright Horizons Nursery both in Riverhead. Further places of interest within the local area include Chartwell, Ightham Mote, Hever Castle and Emmetts Garden.
