Woodlarks is coming to the market for the first time since 1969, this circa 1930s built property was extended in 1970 to make it this 5 bedroom home. Located tucked away at the end of a private lane in its own secluded idyllic peaceful plot of one acre, once an orchard is surrounded by mature boundaries adjacent to woodland and Fawkham Valley Golf Course. This detached house and double and single garage is in need of modernising but has solar panels and huge potential. On entering the property from the entrance hall you will find a 21’ kitchen/dining room and a spacious 27’ sitting room with two bay windows which overlook the rear plot, there is a separate wet room/utility room and a cloakroom/WC which completes the ground floor accommodation. To the first floor the property benefits from four double bedrooms and a family bathroom and a another separate WC. Externally the one acre plot is mainly lawned to the rear of the house which then leads into its own wooded area, which ultimately backs onto the golf course. This leafy space would be ideal for entertaining family and friends with garden parties and the rear wooded part is a dream for children to explore. The plot is located in the Greenbelt so would suit an owner occupier looking to refurbish and even extend to their own requirements, subject to the necessary planning consents. This true hidden gem on the edge of the village is a short stroll to the local primary school, has woodland walks on your doorstep and if golf is your thing you could carry your clubs to the course. Offering vacant possession, this property is now looking for a new custodian that will bring life back to this home which is sure to suit an array of buyers, including growing families or those from London looking for an ‘escape to the country’ and a 'get away from it all' experience yet is still conveniently located for road and rail links into central London. This family home is a true haven of peace and quiet and a place to unwind from busy lives and make as a forever home.

Location
