An exciting chance to extend and improve this detached family house, in a wonderful setting on the edge of Matfield, conveniently placed for village amenities and choice of nearby towns
Dating back to the 1950s with later additions, Oaklands is a detached family home offering so much potential, enjoying a hidden setting on the edge of the highly regarded village of Matfield.
Currently the ground floor comprises a reception hall leading to the dual aspect open-plan dining room and sitting room with sliding glazed doors opening onto and providing the view over the gardens beyond, with steps down to the lawns. There is also a further good-sized family/tv room. The kitchen overlooks the garden to the rear and provides good storage and preparation space. A WC completes the ground floor.
On the first floor the property is currently arranged with four bedrooms (bedroom one and bedroom 2 are interconnected). There is a separate WC and a shower room.
Outside: Oaklands sits within its established, generous and well screened gardens that overlook the neighbouring countryside. The wide expanses of lawns are interspersed with different seating areas and wonderful planting including productive fruit trees and hedgerows, ideal for those looking to cultivate and create the good life!
The house benefits from parking for several cars, garaging, and a useful outdoor storeroom that adjoins the house.
Planning permission at Oaklands: The property is sold with the notable benefit of planning permission to considerably extend the house, creating a sizeable home of approximately 2230 sq ft, improving the parking arrangement and detached garaging with double car port and adjoining store. A Stephen Langer Architects design, the full details are available on the Tunbridge Wells Borough Council website: 24/01137/FULL | Two-storey infill side extensions, single-storey rear extension, alterations to fenestration on all elevations, replacement garage. Granted June 2024.
