5 bed detached house for sale

Redwell Lane, Ightham, Sevenoaks, Kent TN15

Located at the end of a long tree-lined entrance driveway this lovely Edwardian family home sits in the centre of nearly an acre of private gardens and comes with an additional coach house annex, courtyard style decked garden with space for a hot tub and a garage. There exists planning permission to extend the main house via a single story extension (both ground and first floor) which would increase the capacity of the main house from 4 to 5 bedrooms and create a substantial open plan living space on the ground floor opening out onto the garden. (Ref 25/00280/pa and available from the agent). Included in the planning permission is a swimming pool/games room addition on the western side of the house incorporating a larger terrace area.

The house is entered through a classic central hallway providing access to the pair of bright and spacious reception rooms; a formal dining room and a double reception room both benefiting from bay windows and views over the garden. A kitchen with generous original larder and utility/boot room (with side access towards the coach house) sits on the easterly side of the house providing an additional entrance to the house whilst a further snug/living room links the kitchen with the main hallway. On the first floor there is a large principal bedroom with en suite as well as guest bedroom with en suite. Two further bedrooms are served by the family bathroom and there is excellent loft storage.

Alongside the house sits a separate one bedroom annex with ground floor shower room and kitchen/living room which has recently been updated into a more modern bar/snug/television room. A bedroom then sits on the first floor which could also be used as a separate study area. The house is accompanied by a pair of garages alongside the house.

Surrounding the house is a wonderfully mature and well-tended garden made up of numerous different seating areas making the most of the sun at various times of day; from the charming woodland morning coffee spot to the sun kissed western lawn, perfect for entertaining. The mature gardens with numerous walkways through and around the house and lawn on the north side of the house provide side access towards the garage and exterior parking. A newly installed large decked area is located outside the coach house and is perfectly sited for family use and entertaining.
