Description

This is a rare opportunity to buy a property right in the heart of Sevenoaks, ideal as a main home, pied-a-terre or as an investment - the current owner tells us it produces an excellent income as an Airbnb currently. It is attached to the rear of Sevenoaks Art Shop which is also available to purchase via our commercial department and could provide an opporrtunity to combine the accommodation.

This delightful period property is Grade II Listed and has been presented to very high standards throughout to provide comfortable contemporary living whilst ensuring it keeps its charm and character. It has a flying freehold as the front bedroom sits over the office to the rear of the art shop. Period features include a wealth of timbers and beams throughout. A point of interest, the poet W.H.Davies lived there from 1911 for about 3 years as a lodger. He wrote some of his best known poems while living there.

The main accommodation is arranged over two floors and is about 1168 sq ft, plus there is an attic room off one bedroom that provides useful but very restricted height space. The entrance door is down an alleyway to the left of the shop and leads to a hallway with stairs to the first floor, a cloakroom and a utility cupboard which also houses the gas fired boiler. The hall leads to a spacious sitting room with patio doors to the small but private courtyard. There is a wide opening to the kitchen/dining room which is vaulted with velux windows creating a light and spacious feel. The kitchen is attractively fitted and includes appliances with a range cooker. Off the dining area there is a walk-in pantry under the stairs. To the rear is a lobby area opening into a small study.

Upstairs there are two double bedrooms (and the attic room) plus a dressing room which leads to the well-appointed bathroom which includes a separate shower cubicle. Again this has been done very stylishly.
