About this property

Perfectly positioned for village life and access to the sought-after town of Sevenoaks, a recently built, detached family home, presented with flair and imagination

Set at the edge of the popular and quaint village of Chipstead and tucked away along a quiet cul-de-sac, a fine example of a modern family home, recently constructed to the present owners’ exacting specification. With exceptionally bright and free flowing accommodation arranged over two floors, the brief was to ensure a contemporary home built to reflect current building guidelines, particularly in terms of energy saving and insulation. Exteriors are comprised of a silicone, coloured Baumit render system with coloured, wood effect cement board cladding to the first floor under a pitched, composite slate tiled roof, while windows, bi-folding, sliding and French doors are all black powder coated aluminium, double glazed casements. Extending to in excess of 4,000 square feet, room sizes are very generous and are of good proportions with tall ceilings. Features include: heat recovery and filtration system; under floor heating throughout the ground floor; all bedrooms enjoying en-suite facilities; where there is also under floor heating; electric Velux windows allowing natural light to flood through the house. Styling is contemporary but at the same time creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere with the clever use of colour and printed wallpaper choices, as well as some exposed brick walls. Reception rooms include a lovely sitting room with a dual aspect and a brick fireplace with a wood burning stove and a games room which could be used as a ground floor bedroom if required as it has an en-suite bathroom. The kitchen/dining/living room is a wonderful space, which, with a dual aspect and two sets of bi-folding doors, enjoys a fabulous aspect over the garden, bringing the outside in on fine days. The kitchen cabinetry includes wall and base units with quartz work surfaces, integrated appliances including a wine cooler, a Kenwood range cooker and a large, walk-in pantry. Laid out around wide and bright landing, are four bedroom suites. The large principal bedroom has a vaulted ceiling, sliding doors with a Juliet balcony, a fitted dressing room and an en-suite bathroom with separate shower. Elsewhere on this floor are three spacious bedrooms, each with en-suite shower rooms.

Outside
Secluded from neighbours, the lovely gardens have been landscaped to display a large number of specimen shrubs, small trees and colourful herbaceous borders as well as well-tended level lawns. Terracing is of Indian sand stone that includes a covered outdoor dining area and exterior lighting making this a perfect spot for entertaining. A summerhouse is at present divided to form a bar area and gym, but could easily be reformed to create a home office. Storage is provided by a large timber workshop, whilst to the front is a large parking and turning area

Situation
Chipstead is a small village with a strong sense of community and has won the ‘Best Kept Village in Kent’ award several times. Although small, it has various attractions and features, including traditional southern English village architecture and a large lake with a sailing club. The village has two public houses: the George and Dragon, a 16th-century coaching inn on the High Street, and the Bricklayers Arms on Chevening Road opposite the lake. The vibrant and popular town of Sevenoaks has a comprehensive selection of shops, restaurants and supermarkets together with sporting, leisure and arts facilities. Fast train services in to the City of London and the West End as well as to the ports can be found at Sevenoaks Station (approx. 1.7 miles), whilst the national motorway network can be accessed at Junction 5 of the M25, just under a mile from the house.
The area is renowned for an excellent selection of schools, at primary and secondary levels, in both the state and private sectors, including the nearby local village primary school, grammar schools for boys and girls in Sevenoaks, Tonbridge and Tunbridge Wells, noted independent schools including Sevenoaks and Tonbridge public schools, Radnor House, as well as prep schools such as The New Beacon, Granville, Solefields and Sevenoaks Prep.
