Description
Within a few steps of the open spaces of Hollybush and perfectly positioned for easy access to the town and station, a handsome, attached Victorian house of spacious proportions, set within mature, secluded garden and off-road parking.
In a popular and easily accessible location, a handsome, attached, family home of spacious and characterful proportions. Dating from the late nineteenth century, the house is situated a few steps from the open spaces of Hollybush, close to Knole Park, and just over half a mile from the town centre and a mile to the station. With architecture typical of the period and retaining many original features, exteriors are of mellow stone with distinctive red brick quoin detailing, under a tall, pitched roof with carved gable ends. Windows are large, allowing for an abundance of natural light to flood throughout the house and in the main have been replaced with double glazed windows by the present owners. Internally, the accommodation is well-proportioned, extending to approximately 2585 square feet and is laid out over three floors. Much nineteenth century detailing remains such as the magnificent, tall ceilings with ornate coving and ceiling roses, deep skirting boards and handsome marble fireplaces in the reception rooms. During their tenure, our clients have ensured the preservation of the property whilst at the same time making improvements such as installing the new windows, replacing the kitchen in a more contemporary style as well as installing wood burning stoves. The ground floor is given over to a reception hall with tiled floor flowing through to an elegant and spacious drawing room with large bay window, whilst the sitting room has steps down to the open plan kitchen/dining/conservatory, from where there is a lovely view of the rear garden. The kitchen itself is comprehensively furnished with a range of wall and base units employing Silestone work surfaces, a range cooker and there is also a pantry for additional storage. The conservatory/dining space has a vaulted glazed ceiling and French doors opening through to the rear garden.
Arranged over the upper two levels are four double bedrooms – two on each floor. The principal bedroom is directly over the drawing room therefore has similar, grand proportions, a carved wooden fire surround and large windows. The second bedroom has a neat en-suite shower room, whilst the family bathroom has a roll top bath, separate shower cabinet and a walk-in laundry cupboard. The second floor is given over to two double bedrooms separated by a ‘Jack and Jill’ cloakroom – but there is the potential to rearrange this layout to create a shower room. There is also a significant boarded loft space above the family bathroom (approximately 6.05m x 2.24m)
Outside
With off road parking to the front for two/three cars and an EVC, the front garden wall has fine cast iron railings which are protected by a local listing.. The rear aspect is south easterly with a well-tended lawn, planted borders, lovely acers and mature colourful and fragrant planting such as jasmine.
Situation
The house is perfectly situated to enjoy all that the historic market town of Sevenoaks has to offer, being under a mile to the town centre. The thriving and popular town has a comprehensive selection of shops, restaurants and supermarkets together with sporting, leisure and arts facilities including the Stag Theatre. Fast train services into the City of London and the West End as well as to the ports can be found at Sevenoaks Station (approx. 1 mile), whilst the national motorway network can be accessed at Junction 5 of the M25. The area is renowned for an excellent selection of schools, at primary and secondary levels, in both the state and private sectors, including the nearby local primary schools, grammar schools for boys and girls in Sevenoaks, Tonbridge and Tunbridge Wells, noted independent schools including Walthamstow Hall School for Girls, Sevenoaks and Tonbridge public schools, Radnor House, as well as prep schools such as The New Beacon, Granville, Solefields and Sevenoaks Prep.
