House For Sale £3,000,000
Located on a private road on the southern side of Sevenoaks and within walking distance of the centre of town and its mainline train station, this beautifully appointed family home provides ample living and entertaining space with flexibility throughout. Originally built in the 1920's the property was completely renovated by the current owners in 2017, including a substantial programme of integral updating including full new plumbing, wiring and underfloor heating on the ground floor, alongside new bathrooms, flooring, thermal insulation and general renovation; both interior and exterior. The house sits in delightful gardens with Holly Evergreen hedging, providing privacy at the front of the house as well as ample parking alongside the double garage, whilst the exterior of the property has been thoroughly renovated with a full repair of brickwork, roofs and replacement of exterior panels and tiles.
The front door is approached through a gate and along an original brick pathway through a well-tended and colourful front garden, whilst the driveway and gates have been replaced and are newly installed (with an automated gate). A light and bright entrance hallway provides access to the main living section of the house; a playroom/snug on the south side of the house; a formal dining room with new oak flooring, feature gas fireplace and access to a rear terrace together with a large, light and bright drawing room with new fitted gas fireplace and bay window (with new bespoke sitting bench) overlooking the garden. Double doors link both rooms together and to the hallway providing an excellent flow between the rooms, perfect for both entertaining and family use. A stud wall has been set between the kitchen and the living room so should anyone wish to open up the two together this would be an easy thing to achieve, as there are no architectural barriers on the ground floor. The hallway holds great under stairs storage and access to a guest WC. A utility room then sits alongside the kitchen/breakfast room with Marchi Cucine kitchen, Inalco Prestige tiling and bespoke breakfast table. French doors lead out to a raised terrace that links to a formal al fresco dining area. Alongside the side entrance there then sits a flexible study/ground floor bedroom with en suite shower. The entire ground floor enjoys underfloor heating as do the bathrooms.
A separate entrance then is found alongside the garage and driveway providing a family entrance to the house with boot and coat storage as well as a large well kept pantry together with access to an annex area and further door to the rear dining terrace. A double garage (with new automatic door) and large workshop/store room then complete the ensemble on the ground floor.
Upstairs the house can be ideally split into the main family section alongside a separate (if needed) annex pair of bedrooms accessed via the family entrance alongside the garage. A pair of well sized double bedrooms sit on the south side of the house and both enjoy dual aspect windows (throughout the house the windows are either new or installed in 2014) and built in storage. A large Principal Suite with en suite bathroom then sits alongside with a bespoke window seat and overlooking the garden. A second master bedroom with beautifully sized dressing room then sits in the centre of the house with adjoining shower room and two additional bedrooms/study/dressing rooms alongside. A door then separates this half of the house with two double bedrooms (one of which has an en suite shower room) which can be accessed separately from the ground floor. There also exists approved planning for a 393 sq ft second floor guest suite, accessed from the first floor hallway.
The house is surrounded by a landscape designer planned mature garden which has been heavily invested in, providing a sequence of seasonal flowering and fruits. It has been fully re-stocked between 2017 and 2021 with 60 fruit trees; now regularly checked by a tree surgeon
