House For Sale £1,150,000
Attractive detached bungalow with garaging, set within lovely, west facing gardens.
Description
5 Lakeside Close is an attractive, detached bungalow, which forms part of a small development, situated on a private road and located within a pretty semi-rural setting, on the edge of the sought after hamlet of Bough Beech, which is known for its reservoir, The Wheatsheaf country pub and nature reserve, protected by the Kent Wildlife Trust. The property, which is offered with no onward chain, provides bright and versatile accommodation, and provides the incoming purchaser with the opportunity to update and refurbish as required, subject to the necessary building consents.
The wonderful, established rear garden, which has an attractive adjoining copse, is a real feature and benefits from a westerly aspect, providing beautiful sunsets and a lovely backdrop to the property. A paved terrace adjacent to the sitting room provides a seating area, and lends itself ideally for al fresco entertaining. The west-facing garden is mainly laid to a level area of lawn, interspersed by fruit trees and flanked on all sides by established borders, planted with a wide variety of perennials, herbaceous shrubs and specimen trees, all providing year round interest and a high degree of privacy. There is also a detached garage, accessed from the front and rear of the property, with a large adjoining workshop and useful storeroom/potting shed.
A large entrance halls leads to the generously proportioned, double aspect sitting/dining room, which has a bank of picture windows, providing lovely views over the rear garden and an attractive brick fireplace, inset with a wood burning stove.
The kitchen/breakfast room is well equipped with a range of wall and base units, including a large pantry, space for appliances and a view to the lawned front garden.
There are four bedrooms, one with a set of double glazed French doors opening to the rear garden and another currently utilised as a study.
A well appointed family bathroom, with a luxurious freestanding bath and a modern shower room, with a separate cloakroom, completes the accommodation.
Within the loft is a fully boarded room, which could be utilised as a study/hobbies room.
The property is approached via a gated entrance opening onto a driveway, a lawned area and a paved path leading to porch.
