Detached house to rent in Oakhill Road, Sevenoaks TN13

A stunning contemporary residence designed by architects Richard Reid & Associates and located in a sought-after private road in the heart of Sevenoaks, within easy walking distance of the station and the town centre. This award-winning house boasts a beautiful garden and patio space and is just a few steps away from Kippington Meadow and its cut through to Sevenoaks town.

The house offers impressive and versatile accommodation arranged over 3 floors, with up to 7 bedrooms, and is ideal for both family living and formal entertaining. The interior features an abundance of natural light and materials.

The highlight of the property is the wonderfully spacious open plan living area, seamlessly connecting living room, dining area and kitchen, and with sliding doors onto a full-length balcony with beautiful views onto the garden and trees below. The living area has an open fireplace as well as a log-burning stove. Hidden sliding doors allow you to close off the kitchen/breakfast room to create formal dining and drawing rooms, should you so choose.

A great feature of the property is the flexibility offered by the lower-ground floor space opening onto the garden and terrace. This contains a central kitchenette and two bedrooms, both with French doors on to the rear terrace and both served by their own bathrooms.

The space is ideal for guests or an au-pair offering both great convenience and privacy.
