Property description

ACCOMMODATION

Colets Orchard is one of the most desirable residential roads in Otford Village, and this gracious and substantial four bedroom detached house sits in a prime position in this quiet cul- de- sac. The secluded and south facing mature and established rear garden backs onto the ancient churchyard of St Bartholomew's. This unique property was designed and built by the present vendors in 1965, and further extended in 1970, and the property has come to the market for the first time. There is a detached double garage to the side of the property and off road parking. The accommodation is arranged as follows: On the ground floor, a spacious and light reception hall, a study, cloakroom, a double aspect kitchen/breakfast room, separate utility room, a dining room with windows over the garden, and a 21' double aspect sitting room with an open fire. On the first floor there are four double bedrooms, two full bathrooms, one of which is en suite to the master bedroom. The secluded gardens are a special feature of the property with a sweeping patio and shaded seating areas. The property is double glazed and has gas central heating.
Colets Orchard was formally part of the gardens of Colet's Well, the listed house facing the village pond and the green. In the early 1960's Colet's Orchard was developed on as a cul-de-sac of individually designed properties , at which time the owner of Colet's Well ceded Otford Pond to the village. Colets Orchard is at the heart of Otford Village, within walking distance of the station, village and primary school. Properties in Colets Orchard rarely comes to market and early viewing is advisable.
