5 bed detached house for sale

Vine Avenue, Sevenoaks, Kent TN13

Built in 1913 to the exacting specification of its original owners and having had only three owners since, this is a home of genuine provenance. The current owners have undertaken an imaginative and extensive refurbishment, creating a truly distinctive and statement home.

Great care has been taken to retain the property’s
original character, including parquet oak flooring, a
panelled front room and an impressive oak staircase, while seamlessly integrating a striking and high quality contemporary extension.

The accommodation is light-filled, generously
proportioned and has a natural flow throughout. It
showcases original features such as high ceilings,
original doors and coving; complemented by
double-glazed windows created bespoke to match the original detailing.

The drawing room/lounge features a wide bay window with window seat, a panelled chimney breast and stove. The dining room is equally appealing, with exposed timbers and corner windows, with double Crittall doors opening into the kitchen/breakfast room.

The kitchen is a standout space, superbly appointed with top-of-the-range Siemens appliances, underfloor heating and multi-zone lighting. Magnificent glass walls to two sides, including sleek and minimal corner glazing that fully retracts to provide seamless indoor-outdoor living. There are extensive work surfaces, a 3.2m island with storage, a Bora induction hob and integrated appliances.

An additional large family room enjoys rooflights and direct access to the garden. The bright utility room offers space for laundry appliances and features a butler’s sink, leading through to a substantial boot room that can also be accessed via a side path at the front of the house.

The first floor leads to an attractive landing and four well-proportioned double bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from an en suite bathroom, while the remaining bedrooms are light and of a good proportion.

The driveway provides parking for three cars,
alongside an attractive detached garage, which also has planning permission for partial conversion to a home office.
