Description

Built in the 1920s with later additions and situated within a highly regarded residential location and a Conservation Area, Whitethorn Cottage offers bright, well-proportioned and immaculately presented accommodation, ideal for entertaining and family life.

The established and beautifully maintained gardens offer a high degree of privacy, together with a versatile outbuilding, currently utilised as gym/TV room, detached garaging and driveway parking for multiple vehicles.

Designed by renowned architect of time, Baillie Scott, the property sits within a prime Sevenoaks position, being within approx. 0.4 miles of the station with direct services to London, 0.5 miles of the High Street and 0.5 miles from Knole Park, Kent's last medieval deer park with over 1,000 acres of beautiful parkland, now owned by the National Trust.

Internally, there is a trio of reception rooms, comprising a double aspect sitting room with an attractive open fireplace, a dining room with a feature fireplace and a conservatory with access to and lovely views over the garden.

The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with a comprehensive range of wall and base cabinetry, an Aga, integral appliances and worktops extending to a breakfast bar.

A study, utility room and a cloakroom complete the ground floor.

Arranged over the first floor is a well-proportioned principal bedroom suite with a stylish en suite shower room and a dressing room with skylights.

There are four further bedrooms, three with fitted storage and a well-appointed family bathroom with a separate shower.

The established rear garden forms a wonderful backdrop with varied perennial planting, mature deciduous and evergreen trees creating year round interest and a high degree of privacy.

A set of steps adjoins a paved terrace which leads on to a gravel path part covered by an arbour adorned by vines and sweet peas, flanked on both sides by level areas of lawn.

On from here, a further set of steps leads to a circular sunken terrace, perfect for al fresco dining, and towards the rear of the plot there is a versatile outbuilding of excellent proportions, with a cloakroom and currently utilised as a gym.

Whitethorn Cottage is approached via a set of wrought iron gates and adjacent pedestrian gate, leading on to a detached garage and driveway.

A shaped, brick edged area of lawn sits to one side of the drive with mixed evergreen hedging to the boundaries and pedestrian gate access to either side of the property.
