High Street, Sevenoaks, Kent, TN13 1JG

44 High Street is an outstanding period house, set in an enviable position in the heart of Sevenoaks, just moments from the wide open spaces of Knole Park, yet moments from the town centre’s shops and amenities. The accommodation is arranged across four well-presented levels, and combines character features with elegant, modern fittings, with the layout lending itself to use as a large single house, or to be divided into two separate dwellings. On the ground floor, the entrance hall opens onto an inner hallway via wooden double doors, which lead to the comfortable sitting room with its cast-iron and tile-surrounded fireplace. The sitting room opens onto the rear garden, with a glass door welcoming plenty of natural light. Also on the ground floor there is a well-equipped kitchen with modern units, integrated appliances and space for a dining table. The lower ground floor offers two double bedrooms, one of which has an adjoining study, which could be used as a dressing room. Both bedrooms benefit from plenty of built-in storage, while the lower level also has a shower room.

Stairs lead from the main hallway to the upper levels, which could be used as a separate apartment or combined into a larger single residence. The first floor has two generous double bedrooms or reception rooms, and a further kitchen with modern fitted units and space for a breakfast table. There is also a shower room and a useful utility room for further storage and appliances. The splendid galleried second-floor landing features exposed timber framing and leads to a further four double bedrooms, one of which share a Jack and Jill bathroom, with the other two benefitting from en suite cloakrooms. Each of the upper bedrooms also includes built-in storage.

The house is set in a vibrant and well-connected location on Sevenoaks High Street. The covered entrance at the front is shared with the neighbouring shop, while there is a sunken front courtyard providing natural light to the lower ground level. At the rear, the courtyard gardens include an area of patio for al fresco dining, a timber-framed pergola for climbing plants, raised border beds with various shrubs and perennials and built-in seating, all enclosed by high fencing for privacy from neighbouring properties.

The house is in the heart of Sevenoaks and less than a mile from the mainline station. Sevenoaks offers a comprehensive range of educational, recreational and shopping facilities, together with rail services to London Cannon Street/Charing Cross in approximately 30 to 35 minutes. The A21 is easily accessible linking with the M25 and other motorway networks, Gatwick, Heathrow, Stansted and City Airports, Bluewater Shopping Centre, the Channel Tunnel and both Ebbsfleet and Ashford International Stations. Within a short distance, there are a good selection of highly regarded state and private schools including the renowned Sevenoaks School. Knole Park, with approximately 1,000 acres of parkland is close by and is one of the last remaining medieval deer parks.
