Kent Cottage is a characterful Grade II Listed home enjoying a quiet position yet an incredibly well-connected setting. With brick and timber framed elevations, Kent peg tiles and leaded windows, it retains a myriad of period charm throughout whilst also providing spacious and adaptable accommodation set over three floors.
The welcoming entrance hallway features exposed floorboards and a handsome stairway rising to the first-floor level, with an integrated corresponding storage cupboard beneath. There is easy access to the useful cloakroom, whilst the accommodation flows naturally into the sizeable dual-aspect sitting room. Benefitting from a bright bay window to the peaceful wrap-around grounds, timber ceiling beams and wood-panelled walls, it offers the ideal space to receive and entertain guests. The traditional and in-keeping kitchen has a range of built-in cabinetry, leading on to a further store room and adjoining boiler/utility space with external access. The formal dining room also enjoys dual aspects and French doors opening to the rear terrace.
On the first floor are three generous bedrooms, with the principal enjoying two aspects of the tranquil surrounding grounds and fitted wardrobes, as well as a fine feature fireplace mirrored in the second bedroom adjacent. A family bathroom and separate w/c complete the floor. The second-floor level offers a further two adaptable and well-proportioned rooms, with fireplaces and fitted cabinetry, one of which is currently being utilised as a handy home office, perfect for those working from home.
The property is situated within the highly desirable and well-connected town of Sevenoaks, which benefits from a wide selection of shopping and recreational amenities including an array of restaurants and bars, a cinema, library and theatre, as well as several supermarkets. There are also a variety of popular sporting facilities within easy reach, such as a cricket ground at the Vine, golf courses at Knole Park and Wildernesse, tennis at Hollybush and a contemporary leisure centre. The surrounding Kent countryside and historic Knole Park both offer scenic walking routes and bridleways. Being just a mile away from the mainline railway station, the property benefits from fast and frequent rail services to central London in just over half an hour, as well as to Ashford International in under an hour. Road links are also convenient, with Junction 5 of the M25 nearby offering access to central London, the London airports, Kent coastline and further afield. There is an excellent selection of schools in the local area, including Knole Academy, Weald of Kent Grammar and Trinity Secondary Schools in Sevenoaks. Sevenoaks Prep, The New Beacon, Solefield, Walthamstow Hall and The Granville.
The property benefits from a secluded yet accessible setting, with a plentiful wrap-around plot. Five-bar gates open onto the sizeable gravelled driveway offering plenty of parking for a number of vehicles and a garage, whilst the established garden is encircled by a myriad of mature trees and fencing. Low brick walls and a paved terrace lead up to the main entrance, with a second rear patio providing the ideal spot to dine al fresco. There are extensive sections of lush level lawn divided into various sections with stone steps and low-level walls, as well as a third sunken set back terrace and a selection of shrubs and herbaceous plants. Wildernesse Mount is a conservation area.
