House For Sale £1,850,000
Located on a quiet and sought after road in Otford and within walking distance to Otford station (now with a fast train service to London Bridge and London Charing Cross), this elegant family house has been extensively extended, reconfigured and renovated by the current owners to give an excellent balance of living and entertaining space accompanied by a sizeable west-facing garden.
The house is entered through a large, well-lit hallway with accompanying guest WC. A formal living room, with a feature fireplace with space for a wood burner, runs off the left-hand side, while a fully equipped utility room (with an outside access door) sits on the right-hand side. At the rear of the house and opening out onto the west-facing garden sits a large, light and bright, open-plan kitchen/dining room with herringbone wooden flooring and underfloor heating. The bespoke hand-crafted kitchen and island are set on one side (with a sink unit with a built-in hot water tap looking over the garden) with a run of fitted units including a built-in fridge/freezer, induction hob, double oven, breakfast larder (with pocket doors) and wine fridge. The room provides ample space for dining and a separate tv/sitting area, while a staircase leads up to the first floor.
Two large bifold doors open out onto the 150ft garden west-facing with a substantial terrace, ideal for outdoor entertaining and al-fresco dining. The west-facing garden includes a large storage shed, space for a children's play area, and a cricket net. At the front of the house, there is ample parking space on a brick driveway.
Running off the open plan kitchen/dining room sits a playroom/study and a seperate office/bedroom with an en-suite.
The staircase leads to a central landing space, giving access to the property's five bedrooms. The principal suite has a sizeable dressing room with fitted units and an en suite shower room. A family bathroom (with bath and separate shower) then sits alongside, as does a large plant room/laundry room (with laundry chute to the utility room below), ideal as a drying room. On the western side of the house sit a couple of well-sized bedrooms (which share the family bathroom), one of which has an excellent mezzanine level and with access to the loft storage area. The final two bedrooms, with both extra heighted volted ceilings then share a jack and jill bathroom, completing the ensemble on the first floor.
