About this property

Detached 3 bedroom house requiring modernisation on desirable Sevenoaks road

A rare opportunity to purchase a detached family home with potential to extend and renovate with no onward chain. The property is located on a desirable tucked away road in Sevenoaks, only 0.3 miles from Sevenoaks station and conveniently located for access to the town.

This attractive home was built in the 1950s and offers balanced accommodation set over two floors, currently extending to 1,332 square feet (123.8 square meters). The property has been a loved family home and is on the market for the first time in 50 years. Though dated internally, the house has good proportions and fantastic scope to become a contemporary home, with the potential to extend subject to the usual planning permissions.

The house is accessed via an entrance hallway which leads to the ground floor accommodation, comprising a dual aspect sitting room with gas fire, a separate yet adjoining dual aspect dining room with French doors leading to the garden, a kitchen which provides access to the side of the house, plus WC. From the kitchen there is access to a useful store room / office behind the garage and the garden. On the first floor there are three double bedrooms, all with fitted storage, and a family bathroom. The rear upper bedrooms have lovely views to the North Downs.

Outside
The house is set in a well sheltered plot, screened with mature trees creating a very secluded rear garden, which is mostly laid to lawn and offers lovely views to the North Downs. The garden is of a good size, extending further than is immediately obvious to approximately 100 feet in length. At the front of the house there is a front garden of 30 feet with a driveway leading to a detached single garage with store to the rear.

Situation
The property is situated on Merlewood, a sought after leafy cul-de-sac that is conveniently located within easy walking distance of both the mainline station (0.3 mile) and Sevenoaks town centre (0.6 miles). Sevenoaks has excellent schools and a wide range of shopping, social and sports facilities. The town is considered to be one of the most sought-after locations to live in the UK with a charming centre, and stunning local countryside including Knole Park. There is nearby access to the national motorway network via the M25 at Junction 5. Sevenoaks station offers trains to London in under 30 minutes, with regular services to London Bridge and Charing Cross. Blackfriars can also be reached from nearby Bat & Ball station.
