The Property
There are houses that simply provide space, and there are houses that provide a life. Sevenoaks, standing proudly at the end of a long, sweeping driveway behind secure electric gates, is without a doubt the latter. Set within its own two-acre plot, framed by sweeping lawns and with views that stretch across to the Pennines, this is a home with presence, heritage and a soul.
It is a place where families have grown, gathered and celebrated for generations, and where every corner of its nearly 6,000 sq. ft. of space invites you to imagine your own story unfolding.
Sevenoaks is more than an impressive house: it is a family home in the truest sense. It has been loved and cherished for decades, and now awaits a new chapter. It is a place where children can grow up with space and freedom, where friends and family can gather in comfort and style, and where every day feels enriched by the beauty of its surroundings. To live here is to embrace a lifestyle of grandeur, warmth and possibility- and to create memories in a home that will stay with you for a lifetime.
From the very first step inside, Sevenoaks gives you a sense of scale and occasion. The entrance hall opens into a sequence of grand rooms, each one offering a different kind of charm.
The turreted reception rooms – dramatic yet welcoming – has played host to family Christmases, elegant evenings and quiet winter afternoons by the fire.
The dining room has echoed with laughter over dinner parties and Sunday roasts alike, while the piano room and study provide more intimate spaces to work, relax or make music.
Children have played freely in the vast billiard room, and gatherings of friends have spilt from here into the heart of the home: the magnificent Miele kitchen.
This is not just a kitchen, but a hub of family life. With its sleek, high-specification design and integrated appliances, it makes every day cooking a pleasure.
Yet it is the space it provides that makes it so special. Open plan to a generous dining and sitting area, it has hosted birthday breakfasts, homework sessions at the table, and long, easy evenings where food, conversation and laughter blend into one.
Upstairs, the accommodation is both generous and practical. The master bedroom is a true retreat, complete with its own en-suite, offering privacy and indulgence at the end of each day. Three further bedrooms provide space for children, guests or flexible use, all served by a large and well-appointed family bathroom designed to meet the demands of modern family life.
Ascend further, and two additional rooms are currently used for storage – but here lies an exciting opportunity. With their elevated position, these spaces could be transformed into wonderful additional bedrooms, waking up each morning to extraordinary, far-reaching views of the Pennines.
In addition to a shower room and WC on the ground floor, the first floor offers both an en-suite and a family bathroom. This combines style and practicality with ease.
A free-standing roll-top bath makes a striking centrepiece, perfect for unwinding at the end of the day, while a spacious walk-in shower provides everyday convenience. Natural light from the windows completes the spaces, giving it a clean, bright and welcoming feel.
Externally
The magic of Sevenoaks truly comes alive outdoors. The gardens extend to two acres, with manicured lawns, mature trees and views that shift with the seasons – from golden sunsets over the Pennines to frosty winter mornings that sparkle in the light. Children can run freely and safely here, creating adventures in every corner, while adults can entertain in style on summer evenings, with the landscape as a breathtaking backdrop. And for those who dream of even more, an additional two-acre plot is available separately – perfect for equestrian use, paddocks, or simply more land to enjoy.
Agents Note
An additional 2 Acres of land is available by separate negotiation – please contact the agent for further information.
