The Orchard is an exceptional family home of just over 3000 sq. ft occupying a generous south-facing plot of a third of an acre in this highly sought-after private road. The location provides easy access to Sevenoaks station, being just 0.6 miles away on foot and is within the catchment to Riverhead and Amherst Junior Schools, which are just 0.4 miles via footpath from the house.
Built in the 1920s, the property offers a perfect blend of period features and modern comforts. As you enter the front door, you are greeted by a spacious and welcoming entrance hall, featuring ample fitted storage. This area leads you into a triple-aspect sitting room. This beautiful space is filled with natural light and boasts an attractive fireplace. The adjoining orangery currently offers lovely views of the rear garden and provides direct access to this tranquil outdoor space.
Additionally, there is a cosy double-aspect family room, complete with an open fireplace. The superb double-aspect open-plan kitchen/dining room is an impressive feature. This stylish and spacious area is thoughtfully designed, with elegant base and wall units, integral appliances, and a central island incorporating a breakfast bar. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the dining area, making it the ideal space for both family meals and entertaining. The utility rooms offer further convenience, providing additional storage and practicality, while a well-appointed cloakroom completes the ground floor.
Upstairs, the first floor is home to four generously sized bedrooms, each offering its own unique charm. Two of the bedrooms benefit from double aspects and feature beautiful, curved bay windows, which add character and allow plenty of natural light to fill the rooms. A luxurious family bathroom with a classic claw-foot bath and a separate shower, along with a second modern bathroom, ensure comfort and style for the whole family.
There is approved planning permission for a loft conversion, which would add a fifth bedroom, complete with a dressing room and en suite. Please contact us for further information on this.
Outside, the property is accessed by an attractive gravel-laid in-and-out driveway providing ample off-road parking and leads to both the front of the house and to the detached double garage. The south-west facing rear garden is a true highlight of The Orchard with a generous paved terrace perfect for al fresco dining and entertaining complete with an outdoor kitchen area and a large lawn area. Also within the garden is a delightful tree house, and a superb home office. This modern, well-equipped space features a shower room, underfloor heating, and bi-fold doors that open onto a covered seating area with fixed heaters, allowing for comfortable year-round use.
