Description
Sunfield House is a charming and well-presented family home situated in a delightful semi-rural location and within approx. 1 mile of the sought after village of Ightham. This impressive property was built in 1930 and has been extended since, providing light, versatile and well-proportioned accommodation, ideal for entertaining and family living. Salient points include generous open plan living areas which overlook the superb gardens surrounding the property, numerous bay windows, wood flooring, some exposed ceiling timbers, a detached four car double garage and workshop and ample parking. Also of note is the property’s close proximity to Borough Green station, being within approx. 2.3 miles, together with the superb potential for further extension, subject to the necessary building and planning consents.
The principal reception rooms comprise a generous, triple aspect sitting room featuring a large bay window and an open fireplace and an adjoining triple aspect dining/family room, also with bay windows and doors to the rear terrace. A versatile breakfast room benefits from built-in cupboards and the double aspect study/playroom also has a feature open fireplace.
The kitchen is equipped with a comprehensive range of wall and base units with an integral oven, hob and space for appliances. An adjoining boot/utility room provides further storage and access to outside.
A cloakroom completes the ground floor.
Arranged over the first floor is the principal bedroom suite which has a double aspect to enjoy the lovely views over the gardens and is served by an en suite bathroom.
There are three further bedrooms, all with built-in wardrobes and a box room, which provides excellent storage.
A well-appointed family bathroom with a separate shower completes the accommodation.
Sunfield House is approached via a wooden gate and a gravelled driveway, leading on to the four car detached garage and workshop and an ample parking area. An area of lawn features several beds planted with colourful perennials and is enclosed by mixed evergreen hedging. There are further borders planted with mature herbaceous shrubs and specimen trees, providing privacy.
The superb rear garden has a south-westerly aspect and is a real feature, providing a lovely backdrop to the property. A paved terrace provides an ideal area for al fresco entertaining with steps leading to the extensive area of lawn, which features a small pond with aquatic planting. The garden is flanked by established borders planted with an abundance of mature specimen trees, established shrubs and seasonal perennials. The planting provides a high degree of privacy and year round interest, with the total plot extending to over 0.5 acres.
