Description
Set behind electric gates in approximately an acre of beautiful mature grounds, this substantial detached family home offers seclusion and approximately 4,500 square feet of versatile accommodation including garage and outbuildings.
Set behind electric gates and approached via a sweeping driveway, the property enjoys an exceptional level of privacy within mature grounds approaching one acre. Offering approximately 4,500 sq ft including outbuildings, garage and storage areas, the home combines generous family accommodation with the flexibility to adapt to a variety of lifestyles and multi-generational living arrangements.
Originally built in the 1920's, this spacious detached property was significantly extended in the 1980s/1990s to create versatile accommodation over two floors.
The extensive ground floor layout provides a rare degree of flexibility, with a series of well-proportioned reception rooms ideal for both everyday family life and entertaining. Large windows and sliding doors allow natural light to flood the principal living areas whilst framing attractive views across the patio and beautifully established rear gardens.
To the ground floor are five separate reception rooms which could be utilised to suit most buyers' needs. The music room/library was originally the master bedroom and has an adjacent three piece bathroom so could be re-purposed back to a bedroom suite if required. In addition there is a separate two piece cloakroom. The lounge has two sets of sliding doors opening onto the patio area and together with the kitchen, office and 2 upstairs bedrooms at the rear of the house, provide beautiful views onto the rear garden.
The double aspect kitchen/breakfast room has a comprehensive range of fitted wall and base units, integrated fridges, freezer and double oven, a dishwasher and plumbing/space for a washing machine. It incorporates a breakfast table and a door to the outside providing access to the kitchen garden with raised vegetable beds and herbs.
To the first floor are five bedrooms, four with fitted wardrobes, and a spacious family bathroom with a walk-in shower and double sink unit. The boiler/laundry room on the first floor contains the main washing machine and shelving and space for clothes and linen.
There are eaves spaces in the four corners of the house, currently used for storage, which the vendor believes could be converted into en-suite facilities subject to gaining the necessary planning consents.
The home sits within a plot of just under an acre and is surrounded by well kept, mature hedges creating a completely private, secluded space to enjoy the outdoors.
The rear garden has a southerly aspect and is mainly laid to lawn with beautiful mature shrub borders. Half way down the garden can be found a workshop/stable and an insulated wooden summerhouse, whilst a 2 year old greenhouse on a paved base is situated near to the house and garage. There are a few pear and apple trees at the end of the garden.
To the front is a gated paved driveway providing ample off road parking for several vehicles and access to the large detached double garage with ample room for two estate cars, a ride-on mower and lots of tools and materials. A 4kw solar panel array on the south facing house roof reduces energy bills and the vendor advises us that last year they generated approximately £1000 in feed-in tariff payments.
The property backs onto fields and offers the benefits of semi-rural living with modern day conveniences nearby. On the doorstep are countryside walks, wild life, golf courses and country pubs, whilst the shops, restaurants and buses of Biggin Hill are all within a mile. Chelsfield Station is approximately 5 miles away providing convenient links into London.
