Holmesdale Road, Sevenoaks, TN13

In a popular and easily accessible location, a handsome, attached, family home of spacious and characterful proportions. Dating from the late nineteenth century, the house is situated a few yards from the open spaces of Hollybush and a mile of both the town centre and main line train station with fast services to London. With architecture typical of the period and retaining many original features, under the guidance of the renowned architectural practice, Open Architecture, the present owners carried out a thorough and well thought out programme of renovation and extension, which has resulted in a wonderful period property, reimagined for modern family living. Exteriors are typical of the period with stone elevations and brick quoins under a tiled roof, whilst the new internal layout has been mindful of the original proportions yet now has natural light filled accommodation extending to 3261 square feet, laid out over four levels. French and bi-folding doors have been replaced/added with light wells added to the family living space and top floor together with new double glazed, box sash windows throughout. Works also included a new roof and insulation, re-wiring, new plumbing systems, underfloor heating to the ground and lower levels, as well as to the bath/shower rooms and an integrated sound system. Ceilings are high with ornate coving and ceiling roses and there is a handsome fireplace in the principal reception room. The ground floor is given over to a reception hall with tiled floor flowing through to a rear study/reading area where there is a Juliet balcony, while the elegant double reception room has a magnificent, large bay window to the front and French doors from the rear sitting area opening out to a fabulous roof terrace with frameless glazed balustrading. The lower ground floor is a large, open and sociable space with large stone effect porcelain floor tiles benefitting from underfloor heating, arranged with family living in mind. To one end is a contemporary styled kitchen with handless, white cabinetry and a central island and quartz work surfaces and integrated appliances by Neff, to the other is the family room with bi-folding doors opening on to the lower terrace/outdoor dining area. Arranged over the two upper levels are four bedrooms together with a fifth currently used as a study, each with fitted wardrobes and supported by three bath/shower rooms. The principal bedroom has a fitted dressing room and en-suite facilities.
