A handsome Victorian semi-detached residence offering over 1,200 sq.ft of accommodation, a generous driveway and garage, and an exceptionally long rear garden extending to approximately 150ft. Set within the sought-after village of St Marys Platt, the property enjoys a peaceful village setting surrounded by attractive countryside, whilst being just a few miles from the highly desirable town of Sevenoaks, renowned for its excellent shopping, leisure and schooling facilities together with superb rail connections to London.
The property presents an exciting opportunity for those looking to modernise and enhance a character home, with scope to preserve, restore or reintroduce some of the Victorian features one would expect from a house of this period. There is also considerable potential to improve the layout to suit modern family life.
The side entrance leads into a useful porch and through to the dining room, which sits alongside the kitchen.
This area could readily be reconfigured and opened up to create a generous open-plan kitchen/dining space, providing a wonderful heart to the home. From the dining room, stairs rise to the first floor, whilst a further staircase leads down to the cellar, offering excellent additional storage and further potential.
The sitting room is positioned at the front of the house, providing a separate reception space with plenty of scope to restore its period character.
To the first floor are two bedrooms, with a further staircase continuing to a bedroom in the loft.
The existing bathroom is currently located on the ground floor, although there is potential to consider relocating this upstairs, subject to the necessary permissions and alterations, to create a more conventional family layout.
Outside, the property occupies a particularly generous plot, with the rear garden extending to approximately 150ft. Predominantly laid to lawn, the garden features a patio spanning the width of the property, creating a good-sized area for entertaining and enjoying the extensive garden beyond.
To the front, a driveway provides parking for multiple vehicles and leads to the garage.
With its attractive Victorian proportions, substantial garden and excellent potential for improvement, Number 2 Forest Villas represents a rare opportunity to create a characterful and highly individual home in a desirable village setting, within easy reach of Sevenoaks and London.
