House For Sale £1,425,000
A detached family house located on the rural outskirts of Sevenoaks, with scope to update and extend (STP). The property is set within approximately one third of an acre of garden and has the additional benefit of its own woodland
DESCRIPTION
Woodfield sits on the former grounds of West Heath House and was originally built as a chauffeur’s workshop, garage and living accommodation. It was converted in the 1950's into the charming four-bedroom detached house that it is today.
As well as a good size garden, it also benefits from having approximately quarter of an acre of its own woodland on the opposite side of the drive; a perfect area for wildlife and nature.
The property is approached down a long shared drive which runs adjacent to Oak Lane, before culminating at the front of house and the open bay garage, providing ample parking space.
Woodfield is situated in a sought-after area and offers excellent potential for extension and improvement (STP) to transform the house to suit modern day family living.
Internally the home offers a wealth of space, plenty of natural light and high ceilings, the accommodation extends to 1819 sq ft.
FEATURES
Welcoming entrance hall, wooden staircase with useful coat cupboard and understairs storage.
The ground floor features three reception rooms, two of which have fireplaces, including a woodburner in the drawing room. Triple aspect drawing room, sitting room featuring parquet flooring and dining room with built in storage cupboards.
The triple aspect kitchen benefits from a range of base and wall cupboards and generous corner larder cupboard. Appliances include a freestanding Zanussi cooker (double oven, electric hob), integrated fridge/freezer, space for dishwasher.
A cloakroom completes the downstairs accommodation.
To the first floor are three double bedrooms, two with storage cupboards and a single bedroom (currently used as a study). All bedrooms have wash basins.
Family bathroom with a panelled enamel bath.
Outside, the well screened rear garden is mainly laid to lawn and really impresses in Spring with mature Rhododendrons, Magnolia and Acer trees. There is the added benefit of the woodland area on the opposite side of the drive.
A brick-built boiler house attached to the house and accessed from the rear garden, there is space for a tumble dryer and washing machine.
To the front of the property there is a lawned area next to the gravel driveway which provides ample parking along with the double open bay garage and storage shed.
