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 has been extended several times over the years, offering plenty of internal space with a bright and airy feel thanks to its incredibly wide frontage and array of large windows.
The front door leads via an enclosed entrance porch into a generous hallway with stairs to the first floor to the right hand side, two cupboards for coats and shoes and a downstairs WC. To the left-hand side is the sitting room, which features an open fireplace with beautiful limestone surround and a window overlooking the front of the property. A set of sliding doors lead out to a conservatory, which provides a lovely spot to enjoy the garden all year around. Double sliding doors provide access into the dining room, which offers a formal space to entertain with room for even the largest of dining tables.
The kitchen has been extended by the current owners and is ideal for family life with space for a breakfast table. There is a range of fitted wall and base cupboards with a work top over and tiled flooring. An integrated dishwasher is included in the sale with space for a big range cooker. There are 2 separate pantries for food storage and adjoining the kitchen is a bar room which is a fun space, ideal for parties.
A door from the kitchen leads through to a handy utility room and also the guest bedroom suite. This part of the property was originally set up as a stand-alone annexe and has separate zonal heating and its own front and rear entrances. The bedroom is a spacious double room with French doors leading out onto a private terrace. The ensuite shower room contains a sizeable walk-in shower with glass screens, pedestal basin and WC. The utility room has an additional sink and space for a washing machine and tumble dryer. It was originally the kitchen for the annexe and could easily be converted back, for those who want to take advantage of the annexe potential.
Upstairs, the first-floor landing leads to the master suite, 4 further bedrooms, a shower room and a separate WC. The master bedroom is particularly spacious and contains a large number of fitted wardrobes and cupboards and has the best views in the house looking far over the rooftops to the North Downs. There is a contemporary ensuite bathroom with stylish grey tiles and contrast coloured feature wall. A wet room style walk-in shower with glass screen provides a bit of luxury with a separate bath, WC and wash basin with in-built vanity storage. There are 3 further double bedrooms that also benefit from wonderful views with a smaller single bedroom that is currently used as a study. The family shower room is finished with white tiling and vinyl flooring and is fitted with a generous sized shower and countertop basin. A separate WC completed the first floor accommodation.
The property has double glazing throughout and mains gas central heating. There is a huge loft which is currently used for storage and is part-boarded with a light and a pull-down ladder.
The size of the property will more than satisfy most but for those looking to add further space and value to this fantastic house there is a significant amount of extension potential to the side over the garages or into the loft (subject to obtaining any necessary planning permission).
Outside
The property is situated in a lovely residential setting with wide verges and cherry trees lining both sides of the road. It occupies a generous corner plot with one of the widest frontages of any house in Montreal Park. A flat block paved driveway provides off-road parking for multiple vehicles and leads to two attached garages. There is a substantial lawned front garden set behind a low ragstone wall with an impressive laurel hedge running down the left hand side and rear boundary providing excellent screening. A gated pathway on the right hand side leads down the side of the property to the rear.
The delightful back garden is south facing and over 100 feet in length. The plot itself slopes downwards at the rear and has been landscaped with a flat area of lawn offering plenty of space for children to play and a lower section where a recessed brick-built fire pit can be found. There are well stocked beds filled with a wide variety of herbaceous shrubs, flowers and bushes with a vegetable patch and a number of specimen trees including a large Christmas tree.
To the immediate rear of the house is a raised deck, which enjoys the same far reaching views and provides an ideal spot for al fresco entertaining with a set of steps that lead down into the main garden. There is also a slide for those looking for a quicker and more fun route down from the decking.
The overall plot measures approximately 0.33 acres.
