GUIDE PRICE £950,000
This attractive circa 1930s mock Tudor property was extended and reconfigured by the current family to give the original four bedroom house the additional bedroom in an adjoining self-contained annex making it five bedrooms in total. Available to the market for the first time in over 50 years this versatile home of two halves would suit a two generation family or as a guest annex or could easily be used as a self-contained home office for those requiring such a space. The main house boasts accommodation of adaptable spaces to the ground floor of a central entrance hall, cloakroom/wc, two reception rooms, rear study, kitchen breakfast room, utility and integral garage. To the first floor in the main house are four bedrooms, family bathroom and small separate shower room. The annex has its own entrance to the front of the property and is independent of the main house with entrance hall leading to the landing, sitting/dining room to the rear, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. The rear south westerly orientated garden is generously proportioned but is a manageable size with patio and lawn area and mature boundaries. To the front is a good size driveway which leads to the garage. This vacant possession home is looking for a new custodian that will now modernise and refresh its interior and with its versatile accommodation it is sure to suit an array of buyers, including growing families or those from London looking for an ‘escape to Kent’ and a 'get away from it all' experience. This family home that you can make your own is located in the popular Kentish village of Otford and benefits from many local amenities including Otford main line station.
Location Otford Village is an attractive 16th century village approximately 3.7 miles from Sevenoaks town centre. The village has a variety of small shops, historic houses, several pubs and a restaurant, a 16th century church, a library, the village primary school and nursery, a recreation ground and playground for small children as well as two halls which host events and club meetings. There are two private prep schools in the area: St Michael's School which takes children from age 2 to 13, and Russell House School. At the centre of the village is a very picturesque spring-filled pond which is the location of the smallest listed duck pond in England. The attractive village green is surrounded by historic buildings including Chantry Cottage and St Bartholomew's Church. Otford has a mainline rail service with frequent services to Victoria. Sevenoaks mainline station is approximately 3 miles away and provides frequent services to London Bridge/ Charing Cross.
Directions From our Otford office at the duck pond, take the 1st exit at the roundabout to Station Road/A225. As the road takes a sharp left turn take the right hand turning onto Pilgrims Way East. Pass Row Dow Lane and St Michaels Drive on your left and the property is a little further along on the right-hand side.
