Detached house for sale in Glebe Lane, Sevenoaks TN13

In a tucked away location, yet close to Sevenoaks School, town centre and within walking distance of Knole Park, a fine example of a modern family home, recently constructed to the present owners’ exacting specification. With exceptionally bright and free flowing accommodation arranged over two floors, the brief was to ensure a contemporary home built to reflect current building guidelines, particularly in terms of energy saving and insulation. The striking exteriors are of painted render with coloured, wood effect cladding under a pitched, composite slate tiled roof, while windows, French and sliding doors are all anthracite powder coated aluminium, double glazed casements. Extending to approximately 3,000 square feet, room sizes are very generous and are of good proportions with tall ceilings. Features include concrete floors with under floor heating throughout; Home Automation system; integrated sound to primary areas; engineered oak flooring to the ground floor; ‘floating’ oak and glazed staircase. Styling is contemporary but at the same time creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere employing neutral tones and lighting design to compliment the architecture. Leading off from the light filled reception hall with vaulted ceiling, reception rooms include a fabulous family room, which doubles up as a media room as well as a second reception at present used as a generous study. The kitchen/dining/living room is a wonderful space, which, with a triple aspect and sliding doors, enjoys a fabulous aspect over the garden, bringing the outside in on fine days. The kitchen cabinetry includes contemporary wall and base units in a dark finish with quartz work surfaces and splash backs, integrated appliances by Siemens, a six-burner gas hob and a Quooker hot tap. The sitting area has a wood effect gas fire and there is ample space for a dining table. Elsewhere on the ground floor is a large utility/laundry room with walk-in storage solutions and a guest cloakroom.
Laid off from the wide galleried landing are three double bedrooms, each with fitted storage and supported by an en-suite shower room and the family bathroom. The principal suite is a magnificent space, sumptuously appointed with a large bedroom area with a vaulted ceiling, enjoying a private west facing, covered balcony, fully fitted dressing room and an indulgent en-suite bathroom with separate shower cabinet.
