House For Sale £1,750,000
Ideally located with clear west facing views over the surrounding countryside yet within minutes of Hildenborough, Tonbridge and Sevenoaks this beautifully appointed home is set over one level - ideal for lateral and accessible living combined with a wonderful place to entertain. The house also has potential (subject to the appropriate permissions) to significantly extend its living space.
The house is approached through a pair of wooden electric gates leading to ample parking space in front and alongside the property where a gravelled driveway is surrounded by landscaping and mature plantings.
The formal access to the property comes in the form of a grand reception hallway at the easterly end of the house which acts as a central pivot to the property; giving access to two double bedrooms alongside the principal bedroom (with wooden floors and bi-fold doors out onto the west facing terrace) and the family bathroom with walk-in shower and double sink. A large light and bright kitchen (with porcelonsa porcelain floor) with a wide range of units (including Miele appliances - induction hob, self-cleaning double oven, single oven/microwave and a Miele Mastercool fridge-freezer with ice and water dispenser) and a central island (with granite worktop) acts as a living hub of the house alongside a large, light and bright, living room - again with porcelonsa porcelain floors, fireplace recess and bi-fold doors out onto the west facing terrace. A secondary door provides day-to-day entrance to the house alongside the kitchen and utility room/guest WC whilst a dining room links the pool and additional reception rooms to the main house. The whole house benefits from excellent fibre broadband.
At the western end of the property Bedroom 4 (currently arranged as a secondary sitting room/snug with wooden floors) is found alongside a study whilst a fantastic indoor swimming pool (heated all year-round with integrated counter-current and with bi-fold doors out to the garden and onto the terrace) is accompanied by a sauna room, Hansgrohe power shower room and excellent storage. A large double garage then completes the ensemble at the south-western end of the house, ideal for storage of classic cars or to adapt as a gym or games room. There exists planning to re-site the garage (existing planning Ref. No: 11/00146/FL). Equally there has been planning approved (now lapsed) for the addition of a first floor with three additional bedrooms (Tonbridge and Malling Planning Ref. No: 16/03407/FL) which would add an additional 1129ft2 to the property's living space.
Outside the space is focused on the house's west facing terrace, ideal for al-fresco dining and evening entertainment. The gardens are laid mostly to lawn with numerous paths leading around the property and a wide variety of seating areas depending on the seasons and time of day. The garden includes a charming Koi pond and numerous established flower beds and trees together with a detached air-conditioned Garden Studio with excellent fibre internet connection.
