Superbly located detached family home, set within delightful gardens.
Sandy Cottage is situated within a conservation area on the edge of Ivy Hatch, about 5 miles from Sevenoaks and half a mile from the historic Ightham Mote, with a wealth of beautiful countryside walks. The property offers well-appointed accommodation arranged over two floors, ideal for both family living and formal entertaining. Also of note are the charming and established gardens, amounting to just over an acre in total, together with the popular semi-rural location and ample off road parking.
The superb reception areas provide excellent areas for family living and entertaining and comprise a double aspect sitting room with a feature fireplace inset with a wood burning stove and direct access to the verandah, a family room and dining room both with attractive fireplaces and doors opening to the conservatory, and the most impressive conservatory with doors opening to the gardens.
The stylish kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of wall and base units with integral appliances and a peninsular incorporating a breakfast bar. An adjoining utility room provides additional storage and space for appliances, also with a door to the verandah.
A generous store room with fitted furnishings and a cloakroom complete the ground floor.
Stairs rise to the first floor and principal bedroom suite which benefits a triple aspect with attractive views over the gardens and is served by an en suite shower room and dressing room.
There are two further bedrooms and a study, served by a well-appointed family bathroom and separate W.C.
Sandy Cottage is approached over a gated driveway culminating at the detached triple bay garage and providing ample off road parking.
The established gardens are predominantly laid to lawn interspersed with well-stocked beds and a variety of specimen deciduous and evergreen shrubs and trees, and wrap around the property. To the eastern boundary there is a tennis court.
A covered verandah attached to the house provides an excellent area for al fresco entertaining, together with a decked seating area adjoining a pond adorned with aquatic planting. Established trees and hedging to the perimeter provide a high degree of privacy.
