Detached house for sale in Church Road, Sundridge TN14

In a wonderful location, at the edge of a village to the west of Sevenoaks, a gloriously handsome, central portion of an imposing Victorian mansion. Built around 1874, the house displays many original external architectural features such as stone and brick elevations, stone mullioned windows with leaded-light detailing, and a castellated parapet under a tall, tiled roofline. Restored and reimagined to a high standard, this wonderfully evocative property has been designed to respect and complement the nineteenth century origins whilst at the same time injecting twenty-first century styling and technologies.

door and can be used as a guest bedroom or gym. The kitchen/breakfast room is a stylishly presented space seamlessly adjoined by the wonderful orangery with a large atrium and double doors opening through to the garden terracing. Cabinetry has been expertly designed to create smart storage solutions and features an island with integrated appliances including a range cooker.
