Acquired by the current owners in 2012, this historic townhouse was thoughtfully reimagined and underwent a complete renovation, blending modern living with a respect for its rich past. Previously divided into three rental flats, the house was carefully stripped back, allowing for a meticulous restoration that reinstated many original features while creating a stunning, cohesive living space. This ambitious project included connecting the lower ground floor to the main house, extending the rear of the property to create a spacious family area, and landscaping the garden to seamlessly blend indoor and outdoor living.

A Luxurious Sanctuary

The heart of this home lies within its remarkable lower ground floor. This expansive living space is where the current family spends most of their time, and it's easy to see why. Bathed in natural light from a triple-glazed glass roof, the open-plan design effortlessly connects the kitchen, dining, and living areas.

Bi-fold doors open fully to extend the living space outdoors, creating a perfect setting for entertaining. The hand-built kitchen boasts a 3-meter island with quartz countertops and a double butler sink with a Quooker hot water tap. A magnificent dining table comfortably seats 12, with ample space to add a table to accommodate even larger gatherings. Cosy up by the glass-fronted balanced flue gas fireplace on cooler evenings, or enjoy the integrated Sonos sound system throughout the basement, arranged in three zones.

Practical features include a convenient utility room with integrated appliances, a separate WC, and a cleverly concealed pantry. The original fireplace, a beautiful reminder of the home's history, has been lovingly restored and the chimney is ready for a log burner if desired.

Elegant Living Across Three Floors

A bespoke staircase, crafted to match the original, leads to the ground floor. Here, a bright and airy playroom doubles as a practical storage space for coats, shoes, and school bags. The front room, bathed in morning sunlight streaming through its sash windows, is a versatile space currently used as a study, home office, and music room. A substantial fireplace with a log burner adds a touch of grandeur and warmth.

The first floor features a spacious en-suite double bedroom at the rear, complete with fitted wardrobes. The en-suite benefits from electric underfloor heating. The luxurious master bedroom at the front enjoys stunning light in the morning with sun rising over Knole Park. The master bedroom features a walk-in wardrobe with fitted units and storage space. The en-suite bathroom boasts a large walk-in rainforest shower, double sinks, and heated towel rail. The wall mirror is back heated to ensure steam free visibility.

Two further bedrooms, each with ample space and charming double-dormer windows, occupy the top floor, along with a large Jack-and-Jill bathroom with a bath, shower, double sinks, amble storage and electric underfloor heating.

Modern comforts and thoughtful features:

• Heating: Underfloor water-based heating in the basement. Gas central heating with cast iron radiators on the ground and first floors, and high-efficiency radiators on the top floor. A gas-powered boiler and secondary immersion tank ensure ample hot water supply.

• Security: A comprehensive security system with motion sensors and contact sensors on all doors and windows.

• Garden: A beautifully landscaped garden arranged over three levels, featuring paved areas, artificial grass, flower beds, and two sheds. It is the longest garden on the street, backing onto a school field.

An Unbeatable Location

This home enjoys an enviable location just a 2-minute walk from the beautiful Knowle Park, with its scenic walking trails. The vibrant Sevenoaks town center (10 mins) with its shops, restaurants, and mainline train station (16 mins), is within easy reach. Sevenoaks Vine Cricket Club and Sevenoaks Rugby Club are both within 10 mins walk.

Family Time

The current family love walking through Knole Park to the Bucks Head on a weekend, stopping at the rope swings and strolling through the horses yard on route.

The family take bike rides around Knole Park during the summer and is perfect for runners. For very keen runners, you can head off through Knowle and do a half marathon lap around Ightham Mote.

Each of the three children have loved spending time in the children’s playground, just at the other end of the grass field. The grass field has seen many summer football kick-arounds, frisbee throwing and cricket games. The current family have also used the tennis courts and Sevenoaks Hockey pitch at the end of the road during the school holidays for activity camps.

 The hut is a great location for coffees, ice creams, dog treats and a bacon roll whilst the kids play in the playground.
