Holmesdale Road, Sevenoaks, TN13 3XL

£1.375m-£1.425m. Set on a picturesque cul-de-sac adjacent to Hollybush Park, this architectural delight originally built in 1876, has been sympathetically restored to create a timeless family home.

One of the first things to strike you on walking through the entrance hall is that this home very much feels like stepping back in time, as it has been meticulously restored with all of its period features retained, including six working fireplaces.

The Drawing Room is exactly what you would imagine it to be and most likely the formal room used to entertain guests. A grand space with a beautiful large window, a feature fireplace with a marble surround, and wood floorboards. Double doors lead to the Family Room, which is used as a more relaxed space and further double doors open out to the sunroom, with steps that lead down to the garden. Internally the stairs head down to the lower ground floor and brings you to the Living Room with beautiful feature fireplace and patio doors leading up to the front garden for a breath of fresh air. The well fitted kitchen has a spacious island, perfect for preparing culinary delights, the original walk in larder, and a utility room that leads out to the garden.

Upstairs is a real treat. As you come up the stairs to the first floor landing, you are greeted by a stunning freestanding copper bath. Definitely a statement. The shower room is home to the most incredible freestanding antique style shower we have ever had the pleasure of photographing. This room has been pretty much hand made with new wood paneling throughout and a beautiful marble basin to compliment the shower enclosure. The two principal bedrooms on this floor are spacious and benefit from feature fireplaces. On the top floor are a further two double bedrooms that share a Jack and Jill shower room.

The rear garden is very private and is a great space for relaxing in, but if you wanted a bit more room to run around, you only need to walk to the end of the road to Hollybush Park. There is the added benefit of a driveway that can accommodate four cars and a large garage that is great for storage, but could easily be split in order to create a home office if desired.

Location guide:

Situated in a quiet cul-de-sac by Hollybush Park, approximately a mile from the town centre and less than a mile from the station. It is also only 1 mile to Sevenoaks School, which is a highly selective coeducational independent school in Sevenoaks, Kent. It is the second oldest non-denominational school in the United Kingdom, dating back to 1432, only behind Oswestry. There is the added bonus of being just across the road from the National Trust's beautiful Knole Park. Sevenoaks is considered one of the most sought after locations to live in the UK with a short rail travel time to London (approximately 30 minutes), access to the national motorway network via the M25 at junction 5, a charming town centre with a variety of shopping and leisure facilities, and stunning local countryside.
