Vine Court Road, Sevenoaks, Kent TN13

Property
Ashbrook House is a stunning period building constructed using beautiful Kentish ragstone with yellow and red brick detailing. It dates back to the early 1900s and was formerly a significant detached residence that was subsequently converted into apartments in the 1960s. This first floor apartment has been renovated by the current owners to a high standard and offers a lovely bright and contemporary space that still retains plenty of character. Period features include high ceilings, original doors, picture rails and even double glazed timber sash windows.

To access the apartment, you must enter through the grand main entrance and take the main stairs up to the first floor. The apartment is entered via a private door and opens out into a hallway with carpeted flooring that flows into the main reception room. The living /dining room is a lovely bright space with a huge south facing bay window that looks out to The Vine. There is plenty of space for entertaining with room for a sofa and dining table. Bedroom 2 which is currently used as a home office leads from the main reception room with a sliding door and further window looking out to The Vine. The master bedroom accessed from the entrance hall can accommodate a double bed with a good amount of wardrobe space.

The kitchen is located at the rear of the apartment and is fitted with a range of modern white wall and base units with wooden handles, matching worktop over and tiled splashback. Integrated appliances include an electric oven, extractor hood and gas hob with space for a freestanding dishwasher, fridge-freezer and washing machine. The beautiful bathroom provides a perfect mix of contemporary and traditional styling, finished with a white suite including basin with built in vanity storage, large walk-in shower with glass screen, towel radiator and WC.

The property has all mains services connected with gas fired central heating powered by a modern combi boiler.
Outside

Ashbrook House is approached across a shingled drive that provides off-road residents parking with timber fencing a neat hedging to the boundaries. The apartment itself comes with one designated parking space and there is a set of stone steps leading to the main entrance door. To the rear of the building are attractive communal grounds featuring an area of lawn interspersed with specimen trees and beds stocked with a variety of shrubs and flowers.
