Set towards the edge of a sought-after village, yet within the M25, a fine and handsome, detached country house of elegant proportion. With origins dating to the 1920s, together with later additions, the original architectural style reflected the Arts and Crafts school and to this day retains many of those attributes and exudes character. Exteriors are typical of the period with an oak front porch, red brick and tile hung elevations, under a tall tiled roof with leaded light with multi-pane, oak framed casement windows, whilst internally the many features include original parquet flooring, an imposing oak staircase, a variety of handsome fireplace styles, wood panelling to some walls and the original servants call system – still in working order. At present extending to over 3,680 square feet, the quietly elegant and characterful accommodation is laid out over three floors. Ceilings are generous throughout with some displaying oak beams, while windows and French doors are large, offering a fine prospect over the grounds and beyond. The two formal reception rooms each have oak panelling to the walls and fireplaces, as does the reception hall. Elsewhere on the ground floor is a fully fitted kitchen/breakfast room, comprehensively furnished with a range of wall and base units, granite work surfaces and a terracotta tiled floor. Integrated appliances include a four-oven gas Aga, De Dietrich ceramic hob, single oven with space for an American style fridge/freezer and a dishwasher. The adjoining utility room has further storage and a door to the outside.
In total there are seven bedrooms arranged over the upper two levels, with many having built in storage. The principal bedroom enjoys a triple aspect and has an en-suite bathroom, which is also ‘Jack and Jill’ to the landing. The additional four first floor bedrooms utilise the family bathroom with the further two bedrooms on the second floor sharing a shower room.
Outside
The property is set back and approached via a pair of electric wooden gates opening on to tarmac drive, sweeping up to a brick paviour, parking and turning area. In total the gardens and grounds extend to just under two acres and surround the house providing many open spaces for entertaining or play. Large swathes of lawn are peppered by spring flowering bulbs, herbaceous borders are well stocked and there are many varieties of mature trees, hedging and shrubs. Traversing the rear of the house, a large York stone terrace has elegant steps leading down to a formal lawn with a stone fountain. The heated pool has an electric safety cover, pump room and its own terracing. Storage is provide by various timber outbuildings.
Situation
Knockholt is a sought-after village within the M25 just north of Sevenoaks, which has a connected and vibrant community. Amenities include two public houses, community hall, primary school and a family owned garden centre – with two sites in the area – which hosts a monthly farmer’s market. Sevenoaks is approximately seven miles to the south and has a wide variety of shops, supermarkets, cafes, restaurants and a theatre, whilst the busy town of Bromley is about nine miles to the north west. For commuters, stopping train services to London and Sevenoaks can be accessed at Knockholt station – just under four miles away – with fast trains in to the City, West End and Victoria from Orpington approximately six and a half miles away. Kent is of course renowned for its excellent choices in schooling, at primary and secondary levels, state and private sectors including grammar schools in Orpington, Sevenoaks, Tonbridge and Tunbridge Wells, village primary schools, prep schools in Sevenoaks, Bromley and Bickley, public schools such as Sevenoaks, Eltham College and Tonbridge.
