Hopgarden Lane, Sevenoaks, TN13

In a popular and easily accessible location, a mid-century detached home of spacious proportions. Dating from the 1960s, the house is situated just over half a mile from the centre of Sevenoaks town centre and the wonderful open spaces of Knole Park. With architecture typical of the period and making full use of the natural gradient to the plot, the house has accommodation laid out over three, mezzanine floor levels, which extends to 3,018 square feet - excluding the garaging and under croft storage. Therefore, flexibility can be attributed to the layout offering the potential for a dependent relative annexe or working from home space. The present owners have maintained the property very well during their period of ownership, including a thorough and well thought out programme of renovation and extension, which has resulted in a wonderful home. Windows are large, which along with various sets of French doors, allow for an abundance of natural light to flood through the property. The garden (entry) level is at present arranged to provide a sitting room, study, double bedroom with en suite facilities, along with a utility room and a separate cloakroom, but could easily form annexe accommodation if required. An easy rising, wide staircase leads up from the reception hall to the upper ground floor level where there is a fine drawing room with stone fire surround and the dining room with each having a very pleasant outlook over the rear gardens and French doors opening on to the terracing.
The kitchen/breakfast/living room is a recent addition and is the perfect space for sociable, family living with its vaulted ceiling, triple aspect and excellent selection of wall and base cabinetry and integrated appliances by Neff including an induction hob with a gas two ring addition. Beyond the kitchen, steps lead down to a very useful boot room and family room with tiled floor, from where there is a pedestrian door to the garaging. On the first floor are four good-sized, double bedrooms supported by the family bathroom and an en-suite shower room to the principal bedroom whether there is also a walk-in closet.

Outside

The house is surrounded by mature, landscaped gardens with the total plot extending to just over a third of an acre. The drive sweeps up and past the house to the double garage, providing ample off-street parking. The garage is large enough to accommodate a workshop area and has an EVC along with a boarded loft providing additional storage, whilst there is also under croft storage close by. To the front there is hedging for seclusion, a lawned area and colourful herbaceous borders. Terracing adjoins the house on two sides to the south and west, following the trajectory of the sun for alfresco dining from morning to evening. Taking into account the gradient of the plot, the rear garden has been specifically designed to allow for the slope rising from a level lawn with scalloped timber detailing highlighting the tiers.

Situation

The house is well-positioned to enjoy all that the historic market town of Sevenoaks has to offer, being just over half a mile to the town centre. The thriving and popular town has a comprehensive selection of shops, restaurants and supermarkets together with sporting, leisure and arts facilities including the Stag Theatre. Fast train services into the City of London and the West End as well as to the ports can be found at Sevenoaks Station (approx. 1.5 mile), whilst the national motorway network can be accessed at Junction 5 of the M25. The area is renowned for an excellent selection of schools, at primary and secondary levels, in both the state and private sectors, including the nearby local primary schools, grammar schools for boys and girls in Sevenoaks, Tonbridge and Tunbridge Wells, noted independent schools including Walthamstow Hall School for Girls, Sevenoaks and Tonbridge public schools, Radnor House, as well as prep schools such as The New Beacon, Granville, Solefields and Sevenoaks Prep.
