Gracious Lane, Sevenoaks, TN13

Foxwold forms part of a large Victorian property, which was originally built in 1876 and later divided in the 1950s to create a most impressive hamlet of characterful residences. The property offers a wealth of period charm, with original features such as fireplaces, solid wood and parquet floors and exposed beams skilfully incorporated into the modern-day design, which beautifully complements the age of the home and its semi-rural setting with its heritage colours and contemporary interpretation of country style. The house has been extensively improved by the vendor, including conversion of the stables to living space in 2004 and a new kitchen and full internal redecoration in 2018. The house is beautifully presented throughout, and is the perfect marriage of old and new.

The accommodation is well proportioned and offers excellent natural light, which floods in through large windows. The ground floor is arranged in an L-shape, with the main part of the house comprising a study, sitting room, cloakroom with WC and a dining room, which is open plan to the additional wing of the house where there is a fabulously bright and airy family room, kitchen / breakfast room and utility room. Upstairs there is a an en suite bedroom, further double bedroom and a bathroom within the main part of the house. A separate staircase provides access to an additional two bedrooms and a shower room in the newer section – the perfect separation for older children or visiting guests.

Outside

There is detached garage and wood store together with driveway parking to the front of the house, where there is also a superb south west facing courtyard. The courtyard has a water feature and is ideal for al fresco dining. The gardens are mostly lawned and beautifully established with trees all around the perimeter, and there is a vegetable garden, enclosed tennis court, (in a state of disrepair) and a terrace. In total the grounds amount to about 2.265 acres (0.916 HA).

Situation

Situated to the south of Sevenoaks town centre in a peaceful and secluded semi-rural setting, the house stands 2.2 miles from the station, with fast connections to London, and 1.7 miles from the thriving town centre.
