Property
This wonderful family home is situated in the highly sought after and desirable Montreal Park, a development of detached properties positioned a short walk from Sevenoaks mainline station.
The house was built in the late 1950s and offers plenty of internal space with a bright and airy feel thanks to a large array of windows, high ceilings and a south facing aspect. The front door leads via an entrance porch into a substantial hallway which has solid wood flooring providing plenty of space for coats and shoes. A further door leads into an inner hall with stairs to the first floor. To the right-hand side are two large reception rooms with the same solid wood flooring. The sitting room has a large bay window overlooking the back garden and a gas fireplace with stone hearth and timber surround providing a nice focal point to the room. The dining room is great for formal entertaining and also has a gas fireplace. The kitchen, which has a door leading out to the garden, is fitted with a range of wall and base units with worktop over incorporating a stainless steel sink and tiled splashback. There is an integrated under-counter fridge and also included in the sale is an electric cooker with hob, washing machine and dishwasher. A downstairs WC under the stairs completes the ground floor accommodation.
Upstairs, the first-floor landing leads to four bedrooms, a bathroom and a separate WC. The master bedroom is particularly spacious and benefits from a huge range of fitted wardrobes and drawers. Bedroom 2 is another generous double room with lots of built in storage and views across the wonderful back garden. Bedrooms 3 and 4 are good sized single rooms with bedroom 3 benefitting from a large eaves storage cupboard. The family bathroom is finished with cork flooring and a salmon pink suite featuring a bath with shower attachment, pedestal basin and towel radiator with an airing cupboard providing storage. A separate WC adjoins the bathroom.
The property has double glazing throughout and mains gas central heating with a floor-standing boiler located in the kitchen. There is a large loft space which is currently used for storage and is fully boarded with lighting.
The property would benefit from modernisation and for those looking to add space and value to this fantastic house there is plenty of potential with planning permission in place to extend and renovate the property. Details can be provided on request and are openly available on the Sevenoaks Planning Portal (reference 24/03085/house).
Outside
The property is situated in a lovely residential setting with wide verges and cherry trees lining both sides of the road. The plot itself slopes upwards with a steep driveway providing off-road parking and leading to the integral garage. There is a pretty front garden mostly laid to lawn with a particularly nice Acer tree, set behind a low ragstone wall. A combination of neat hedging and timber and chain linked fences mark the boundaries to the garden with gated pathways running down both sides of the house providing direct access to the rear.
The delightful back garden is south facing and approximately 130 feet in length. It has been landscaped with stone retaining walls to provide a generous area of lawn that is relatively flat. There is plenty of space for children to play with a climbing frame towards the back of the garden that will remain. To the immediate rear of the house is a good sized patio that is a real sun trap and provides a great spot for al fresco entertaining. There are low maintenance beds finished with bark and filled with a number of herbaceous shrubs and flowering plants with 3 sheds providing plenty of outside storage space, one of which is particularly large.
The overall plot measures approximately 0.2 acres.
