Summary - Chipstead House, The Old Carriageway, SEVENOAKS TN13 2RL
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Large 1960s detached house on a half‑acre plot, ripe for modernisation.
Half‑acre private plot with mature, secluded gardens
Set within about a half‑acre at the end of a private road, this 1960s detached house offers generously proportioned family accommodation and wide scope to modernise. The ground floor includes a 21ft living room, separate dining room, kitchen/breakfast room and a practical shower/cloakroom, while ancillary spaces such as a garden room/playroom extend the usable footprint. Large windows and mature garden views give the house a bright, traditional feel.
The plot is a standout feature: well‑maintained lawns, mature specimen trees and privacy make it rare for the area and ideal for family life, outside entertaining or future extension (subject to consents). A garage and ample parking add everyday convenience. Several good primary and secondary schools are nearby, and local amenities include pubs, leisure and sports facilities.
The property needs renovation and modernisation throughout, which offers clear potential for value uplift for a buyer prepared to invest. The circa 30ft summer/snake room and the 30ft swimming pool will require overhaul. Services and thermal performance are middling, double glazing was upgraded after 2002 but the solid brick walls are assumed to lack insulation, so heating and energy improvements are likely advisable.
In short, this home will suit a growing family or buyer seeking a substantial plot and scope to create a contemporary family house. Budget for renovation, pool refurbishment and energy upgrades when assessing the overall cost and timetable.
