House For Sale £1,250,000
Originally built in the 1970s and designed by renowned modernist architect Rodney J Allen the house is a classic representation of the period and benefits from a wonderfully set position on a ridge line overlooking the Medway Valley. Rodney Allen designed the house for his own use and the light and aspect are reflective of this.
The house is approached through electric gates and the driveway winds itself up past the front of the house to a double garage and turning area on the far side of the plot. The plot itself covers approximately 0.35 acres and is west facing. A double garage is located at the northern side of the property and might, subject to the appropriate permissions, provide some excellent additional space for future development of the house.
Access to the house comes through the entrance in the middle of the house and into the kitchen area, with breakfast seating area. This leads through to the dining room and lofted living room with far reaching west facing views and south facing balcony. A study/office then is found off the living room.
A staircase leads down to a lower ground floor bedroom, shower room and entrance hall with its own access out onto the drive way.
On the ground floor the principal suite (originally 2 bedrooms but now set as one large one) sits opposite a shower room and alongside a further bedroom and family bathroom. At one stage there was a plan to develop into the garage space to create a balancing wing on the north side of the house to match the one already in existence on the south side.
To the west of the house a large decked area provides excellent (and very private) views westwards; perfect for entertaining, al fresco dining or simply summer sundowners.
