Unique and attractive detached family home, well set back in just over an acre of gardens, with swimming pool, situated on the edge of historic Ightham village.
Fairoaks is an attractive detached family home, coming to the market for the first time in 29 years, situated on a desirable cul-de-sac in a semi-rural position, within the Metropolitan Green Belt and about a mile from the centre of the historic and picturesque village of Ightham.
The well-proportioned and versatile accommodation is arranged over two floors, and has been well maintained by the current owners, offering scope for further modernisation and extension, having the benefit of lapsed planning permission. The property enjoys secluded, landscaped gardens of just over an acre with a swimming pool and excellent garaging.
The reception rooms comprise a dual aspect sitting room with brick fireplace inset with coal effect gas fire and double doors leading to the dining room with sliding doors leading out to the rear terrace. There is also a conservatory enjoying a south-westerly aspect and two sets of doors leading out to the gardens.
The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with a range of wall and base units and integral appliances. The breakfast area has matching fitted units and a fitted breakfast bar with central peninsular table, creating an excellent space for informal dining.
The adjoining utility room is well-fitted with additional storage cupboards, fridge/freezer and access to outside.
A study with a view to the front and a cloakroom complete this floor.
To the first floor is the light and bright principal bedroom suite, served by a dressing area with generous fitted wardrobes, additional wardrobe to bedroom and an en-suite bathroom with a partially sunken bath, a separate shower cubicle and a walk-in storage cupboard.
There are three further bedrooms, two with fitted storage cupboards, served by a family bathroom, completing the internal accommodation.
The property enjoys a unique position, set well back from the road and approached via a sweeping, resin-bonded carriage driveway which provides ample parking and leads to an integral garage. Double gates leads to the rear gardens. Situated further along the driveway is an additional detached double garage.
To the front and extending to one side are areas of well-maintained lawns with established laurel and evergreen hedging, well stocked borders and mature evergreen and specimen trees.
The landscaped gardens to the rear create a wonderful backdrop and comprise a paved terrace that is ideal for al fresco entertaining, with steps leading up to an expanse of lawn, interspersed with established shrubs and trees and abundantly stocked borders, a swimming pool and summer house set away from the house, together with an additional terrace with a pond. In total just over 1 acre.
