Brittains Lane, Sevenoaks, Kent

With its red brick, hung clay tiles and leaded geometric windows, Lismoyne reflects the elegance of the Edwardian era and makes a welcoming first impression. A striking entrance hall with “Mainzu” ceramic tiles leads to a cloakroom with shower and the spacious family kitchen. Here, wooden cabinetry is complemented by quartz worktops, and a useful pantry and utility room sit adjacent. Glazed French doors open onto an elevated timber deck, extending the living space outdoors. Further glazed doors lead to the dining room with French doors onto the garden. A substantial yet cosy reception room has the stairs to the first floor. The light-filled library features dado rail shelving, exposed ceiling timbers and an open fire. One of the true highlights of the house is the sitting room, a timber-framed vaulted ceiling, fireplace and striking feature window with window seat creating a dramatic yet inviting space with a small side vestibule entrance. Upstairs, the principal bedroom features a dressing room and exceptional en suite Jack-and-Jill bath/shower room. This combines a traditional cast-iron fireplace and roll-top bath with a double shower and statement high-level Catchpole & Rye toilet, bespoke to the property and inscribed with its name and 1907 build date.
Two further spacious bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath/shower room, while the third floor offers three more double bedrooms, one with en suite shower and walk-in wardrobe, and two sharing a fourth shower room. The current owners have carried out significant improvements, including re-roofing and upgrading insulation, ensuring the home is as practical as it is characterful. Traditional high ceilings and wooden flooring run throughout the property, complemented by underheated tiled floors in key areas.

Entered via electric gates, Lismoyne’s brick-paved driveway bordered by mature shrubs and trees provides ample parking, alongside a brick-built double garage and paved seating area, perfect for relaxing. The rear garden has a wonderfully leafy, spacious feel. An elevated timber deck, paved outdoor dining area and large summer house offer excellent spaces for entertaining. Stone steps lead down to the sunken lawn, creating a variety of outdoor areas to enjoy

The property is on the western edge of popular and picturesque Sevenoaks. The town has excellent facilities and a mainline station – just 1.2 miles away – with services to London Bridge, Cannon Street or Charing Cross in 30-35 minutes.

Within a short distance are highly regarded state and private schools, including the renowned Sevenoaks School. Close by, Knole Park, with approximately 1,000 acres of parkland, is one of the last remaining medieval deer parks.
