luxury houses with terrace for sale Sevenoaks, United Kingdom

The position of this delightful, detached period home is quite superb and offers the best of both worlds in that it is tucked away and yet provides good access into the village and to the popular station to London with the additional benefit of backing onto open fields.   A long driveway from the Tonbridge Road leads up hill to the large block paved parking and turning area and a detached double garage and your first glimpse of this delightful home surrounded by gardens that lend a feeling of calm that comes with being far from the madding crowded. A few steps up past a fabulous pond takes you to the terrace which makes the most of its elevated position and affords you far reaching views beyond the village to the distant horizon.   In order to make use of this sunny aspect and delightful view a large conservatory has been added to the front elevation of the house to create a much used and much-loved space for sitting or entertaining whilst maximising the benefit of the view. From here a large reception hall makes a superb study area or reading nook with its pretty bay window, brick fireplace and parquet floor.   A large single storey addition has created a very generous living room, maximising the natural light with its triple aspect and views out over the gardens. The charming kitchen is linked to the dining room via a conservatory that currently serves as a utility area and would make a fine breakfast room. A doorway leads past the wine store to a traditional dining room with a fireplace and pretty side bay window. This is another large room and is ideal for seating large gatherings and makes a superb entertaining space.   Upstairs there are four double bedrooms, two of which are en-suite to shower rooms, with a family bathroom and separate toilet.    A formal garden fronts the property with a large terrace, a pond garden and lawn. A further large lawn wraps around the house and is ideal for garden sports or if you prefer to be left as a natural wildflower garden. To the rear of the house is a pretty little painted brick outbuilding under a pitched tiled roof that has plenty of scope to be your home office, children’s den summerhouse or potting shed.     This has been an amazing house in a brilliant location. We always loved the fact that you come up a long driveway before you get to the house, so you feel like you are so tucked away and as the driveway is uphill you have a lovely, elevated position with superb far-reaching views. Having said that you are perfectly situated for easy access to Hildenborough village, the station with services into London, as well as to Tonbridge Town and Sevenoaks.   The village has two state primary schools, Stocks Green School, and Hildenborough cep school as well as the independent Fosse Bank, and the independent Sackville school. Tonbridge, Tunbridge Wells and Sevenoaks offer a brilliant choice of schooling in both the state sector including superb grammar schools like The Judd School and TOGGS, and the private sector including Tonbridge and Sevenoaks schools, Hilden Grange and the schools at Somerhill.

If the ultimate in unique properties is your idea of home, then look no further than the magnificent Hadlow Tower – or ‘May’s Folly’ as it is less reverently named by the locals. Once part of a Romantic Gothic style 18th century castle, the 175ft eight storey tower stands six foot higher than Nelson’s Column and is visible from Bidborough to Sevenoaks. Having fallen into disrepair and severely damaged in the 1987 storm, it was restored in 2013 at a cost of £4.2 million with grants provided by English Heritage and the Heritage Lottery Fund. Its impressive restoration won multiple Historic England Angel Awards as well as the Lloyd-Webber Angel Award.   Now a fabulous private home it is accessed through the fantastic triple arched and castellated Romantic Gothic entrance on Hadlow village high street. There is a long and winding private road that passes a few individual properties and stunning countryside as far as the eye can see and ultimately leads to the spectacular tower, a parking area and the impressive walled courtyard. This includes additional buildings and a fabulous external window in what was thought to be the original castle entrance. The ancillary buildings have now been converted into six private dwellings and, together with the tower custodian, the owners of these six properties are responsible for the wonderful communal grounds that include sweeping lawns interspersed with impressive specimen trees and a beautiful lake encircled by a plethora of colourful shrubs.   As soon as you see the iconic tower with its octagonal shaped exterior, arched windows, ornate mouldings and fantastic lantern you will almost be transported into a fantasy world and may perhaps wonder why Rapunzel is not looking out of an upstairs window. However once inside, while there are stunning original and historic features, it has been designed as a one-of-a-kind modern family home.   There are three entrances to the tower and the main double height arched front door leads to a lobby with an original brick floor and a fascinating octagonal reception hall with interesting displays, terracotta flooring and, fortunately, a contemporary lift to the first four floors. There is also a utility room, cloakroom, boiler room and boot cupboard, a pair of original oak external doors and access to the main circular staircase and an outer secondary circular stone staircase.   Opening the lift door on the first floor you are immediately confronted by a superb octagonal dining room where guests will be queueing up to be invited to a meal as this characterful room includes full height circle top arched windows providing far reaching views, a beautiful polished wood floor, a unique arched recess and sculptured oak doors that come from the original castle. These open into a small corridor with the main staircase and a second set of old oak doors that lead to the triple aspect kitchen/breakfast room with fantastic stained glass windows that were also rescued from the castle, access to the secondary staircase and shaker style units housing various appliances.   The octagonal drawing room on the next floor is something to behold with its gothic casement windows, polished wood flooring, exposed beams and amazing brick arched fireplace with a log burner but is also cosy enough for the family to enjoy relaxing and spending time together. There are steps down to a double bedroom that also has a charming stained glass window from the castle, lovely views over the grounds, an en suite bathroom and access to the secondary staircase.   You can take the main stone staircase up to a dual aspect double bedroom with a central beam and oak flooring, while oak steps lead to the principal suite with exposed beamed, storage facilities and a contemporary en suite. On the fourth floor there is a fascinating double bedroom with an octagonal inner frame surrounding the bed, an octagonal dressing room with a walk-in wardrobe, oak stairs leading to a superb bathroom and a door to a castellated roof terrace offering excellent views over the surrounding countryside.   The next floor includes a useful study area and external access while open staircases lead to the additional floors. There are original six inch square vertical beams, interesting billboards showcasing the history of the tower and doors to the external castellated parapet with 360 degree views as far as the eye can see. At the very top of the tower is an exact replica of the original lantern that was destroyed during the Great Storm of 1987.   The Tower also owns an area of woodland and grounds beyond the communal lake area and this is basically a blank canvas so new owners can create whatever they like. It includes a large shed that houses the remains of the original lantern that were retained to provide a reference point for the replacement.   What the owner says: This has been a very exciting and unique home that I have been privileged and proud to own for the past few years. I and my family have thoroughly enjoyed our time here in this peaceful and tranquil environment, but my business is taking me abroad so I feel it is time to hand the baton over to new custodians who will appreciate the uniqueness of this amazing place in such an incredible setting.   Although where we are is private and peaceful, Hadlow high street is at the end of the lane. This charming village is in a Conservation area and includes many attractive period properties and a variety of shops, pubs, hairdresser, restaurant, church, library and a medical centre. For the more energetic there are cricket and bowls clubs as well as a good primary school and the renowned Hadlow College of Agriculture and Horticulture that includes the Broadview Gardens complex that has a tearoom and florist and where you can enjoy wandering around the grounds.   Other facilities are available in nearby Tonbridge including excellent grammar and private schools, independent shops and high street stores, pubs, restaurants, a theatre and the station where trains to London take around 30 to 40 minutes. There is the Tonbridge School leisure club while for golfing enthusiasts there are numerous golf clubs and courses within a radius of nine miles around Hadlow including the local Poult Wood Public Golf Centre.   Historical Note: Hadlow Castle was built in the 18th century in the then fashionable Strawberry Hill Gothic style. It was extended in the 19th century and the owner Walter Barton May at the time built the Tower (May’s Folly). Local lore has it that he had it built so he could spy on his estranged wife but it was probably because he wanted to show off his wealth.

Dating back to 1717, this imposing locally listed country house is set within approximately two acres and enjoys an enviable position within the picturesque village of Downe. Trowmers was once owned by Sarah Wedgwood, a member of the renowned Wedgwood chinaware family and sister of Emma Wedgwood, wife of Charles Darwin, adding a rich layer of provenance to this remarkable home. Ground Floor - The ground floor offers a series of elegant and beautifully proportioned reception rooms, perfectly suited to both formal entertaining and relaxed family living. The magnificent sitting room, extending to over 33 ft, forms a striking centrepiece, with wooden flooring, panelled walls and handsome fireplaces at either end. A private study lies just off this space, while to the rear, double doors open into a sun-filled conservatory overlooking the gardens. A refined drawing room, complete with an ornate fireplace and French doors, also opens onto the grounds, while the dining room flows seamlessly into the kitchen, creating a sociable and open-plan arrangement. The kitchen itself is well-appointed with shaker-style cabinetry, a central island with breakfast bar and integrated appliances, complemented by a utility room and cellar providing further practical space. Upstairs - Two staircases rise to the first floor, where seven well-presented double bedrooms are arranged. The principal suite is particularly impressive, featuring a bay window, a dressing room with extensive built-in wardrobes and a well-appointed en suite bathroom. The second bedroom enjoys Jack and Jill access to this en suite, while another bedroom benefits from its own en suite shower room. A family bathroom serves the remaining accommodation. The main staircase continues to a substantial attic space, offering excellent storage and clear potential for conversion, subject to the necessary consents. Externally - To the rear of the house, additional accommodation is thoughtfully arranged, including a separate office or studio and a home gym, both accessed via the garden and providing valuable versatility for modern living. Approached via an in-and-out driveway with wrought-iron gates, the property offers ample parking and turning space, as well as access to a detached garage. The gardens are a particular highlight, enjoying a favourable south-easterly aspect and extending to over 250 ft. Beautifully maintained, they comprise expansive lawns interspersed with mature trees, alongside well-stocked borders rich with seasonal colour. Paved terraces provide ideal spaces for al fresco dining and entertaining, while a substantial timber-framed greenhouse and a stable block with associated storage enhance the lifestyle offering.

What the owners say: This impressive four storey country residence forms part of a magnificent Victorian manor house surrounded by half an acre of delightful private gardens in the charming hamlet of Golden Green. It backs onto farmland with far-reaching views across the Medway Valley and is approached through a pair of solid wood automatic gates that open onto a private driveway leading to a spacious parking area is flanked by an avenue of trees and shrubs bordered by a large lawn.  Wonderful external features give this property such a special character including very high chimneystacks, differing roof lines with attractive barge boards, patterned brickwork, pitched roof dormers, bay and windows and an arched entrance. The period features continue internally with high coved ceilings, picture and dado rails, wall panelling and ornate ceiling roses as well as beautiful fireplaces. At the same time the property has been superbly but sensitively updated by the current owners to provide everything needed for modern day living and is beautifully presented and maintained. The front door opens into a long L-shaped hallway with a cloakroom, a stained-glass door to the courtyard, a staircase to the lower ground floor and upper floors as well as Amtico herringbone flooring that flows through to the spacious, modern dual aspect kitchen/breakfast room and hallway. This has views over the courtyard and features a range cooker, a central island and shaker style units housing a fridge freezer, wine fridge and dishwasher, while still leaving plenty of space for a table and chairs. There is a very elegant dual aspect lounge with an attractive bay window, a wood burning stove surrounded by a charming slate fireplace and solid oak flooring that continues into the spacious dining/sitting room. This also includes an attractive sandstone fireplace with a log burner and fitted shelving and is currently in use as a family room/second sitting room. However, it would be ideal for those more formal occasions where you could seat at least a dozen guests. On the lower ground floor, you will find the utility room which comfortably accommodates several large appliances whilst providing essential hanging and drying space. In addition to this there is also a large boiler room and substantial private office with varied and versatile bespoke storage. An L-shaped galleried landing on the split level first floor includes an airing cupboard with access to three double bedrooms and the large stunning family bathroom that all have wonderful countryside views. The bathroom features a modern stand-alone oval bath where you can sit and enjoy the views, a separate double shower and twin basins. One of the bedrooms has a charming original fireplace while the large and well-proportioned principal bedroom is dual aspect and includes a plethora of fitted cupboards as well as a staircase leading up to a superb ensuite dressing room/shower room. While there is access to the rest of the second floor accommodation from the dressing room there is also the main staircase that leads to the second floor landing and a contemporary shower room serving two double bedrooms that provide a panoramic rural vista or could perhaps a bedroom and sitting room for a teenager wanting a little independence and private space. Outside, as well as the courtyard with access to the garage, there is a nearly 19ft long workshop with a pine boarded ceiling, windows, electrics and lighting so could always be converted into a games room/bar or offices for anyone working from home who needs peace and quiet. In order to provide complete privacy and security the beautifully landscaped garden is surrounded by six-foot-high fencing and hornbeam hedging so is completely secure for children and animals. It includes a truly charming and relaxing sunken garden seating area with delightful, raised lily ponds bordered by well-manicured lawns and shrub beds overlooking farmland as well as a large terrace for outdoor entertaining and barbecues.

Set at the end of a sweeping drive through historic parkland, a rare and captivating country estate, one that seamlessly blends architectural grandeur, cutting edge modern comfort and an extraordinary sense of heritage. Immaculately refurbished to the highest standard, the house has been thoughtfully restored for contemporary family living while celebrating the craftsmanship and character of its period origins. From the moment you step inside, the scale and elegance are unmistakable. The stately entrance and inner halls form the heart of the home, rising dramatically to a double-height gallery above. Limestone floors, intricate cornicing and domed ceilings create a sense of occasion, while original parquet flooring and open fireplaces add warmth and authenticity. Technology has been discreetly integrated, with underfloor heating to the ground floor and first-floor bathrooms, alongside Sonos audio and a Crestron home management system controlling lighting, climate, curtains and entertainment at the touch of a tablet or smartphone. The house occupies an elevated position on Holwood Hill, commanding far reaching southerly views across rolling countryside. Two areas of woodland frame the property, creating a natural avenue and a picturesque vista. Ground Floor: - The principal reception rooms flow beautifully from the central halls, each designed to make the most of the breathtaking southerly views across the estate. The music hall is a particular highlight, with its elegant proportions and panoramic outlook over rolling parkland. The drawing room, dining room, games room and kitchen/breakfast room all enjoy generous sash windows and French doors, bathing the interiors in natural light and creating a wonderful connection to the grounds beyond. At the centre of family life sits the magnificent Clive Christian kitchen. With a dramatic double-height ceiling and expansive roof lights, it is both striking and supremely practical. A library mezzanine overlooks part of the breakfast area, creating a relaxed yet refined space for reading or quiet work. From here, the house opens effortlessly into the family room, which in turn leads directly into the newly refurbished swimming pool complex and annexe, perfect for year-round entertaining. Beneath the house, the substantial cellar offers yet more lifestyle flexibility. A large central entertaining space, referred to as the Shisha Lounge, is complemented by two gyms and newly installed communications, boiler and heating systems as well as a generous laundry room. The ground floor is completed by a private study, Champagne bar/Snooker room, four car garage, cloakroom, powder room and a fully insulated cinema room with surround sound for evenings at home. First Floor - A grand sweeping staircase leads to the first-floor accommodation, where space and privacy have been beautifully balanced. The principal suite forms a luxurious private retreat, complete with two dressing rooms, an elegant en suite bathroom and its own sitting room, all overlooking the parkland and valley beyond. Two further bedrooms in this wing interconnect and share a bathroom, ideal for children or guests. The pillared central gallery looks down over the inner hall and gives access to a further bedroom suite, a nursery and a dedicated guest wing with two additional bedroom suites. A separate landing connects back to the library mezzanine and down to the kitchen below. The leisure facilities at Holwood are exceptional. The swimming pool complex has been refurbished to a luxury spa-level specification, with a steam room, sauna, two rainforest showers, pool table and a wet lounge. French doors open onto timber decking, making it an idyllic setting for summer gatherings, barbecues and poolside entertaining. A striking glass staircase rises to the first-floor guest accommodation, which includes a generous games room or gym, two further guest bedrooms and a shower room. Separate stairs lead to a fully self-contained housekeeper's apartment with two bedrooms, a bathroom, kitchen and living room, ideal for staff or independent living. Gardens And Grounds - The setting of Holwood House is truly extraordinary. The approach winds gently through landscaped parkland originally sculpted by Decimus Burton, immediately instilling a sense of arrival and privacy. The house occupies an elevated position on Holwood Hill, commanding far-reaching southerly views across rolling countryside. Two areas of woodland frame the property, creating a natural avenue and a picturesque vista visible from many of the principal rooms and bedrooms. To the rear, the estate includes a secondary drive, tennis court, walled garden and an elegant garden pavilion to the west. To the east, a newly constructed machinery store, also suitable as a helicopter hangar, adds a discreet yet highly practical modern touch. History - Few houses can claim a history as rich or as influential as Holwood, and fewer still combine such pedigree with effortless modern living. The site itself is recorded as an Iron Age fort, Caesar's Camp, and has long been recognised for its strategic and scenic importance. In the late 18th century, Holwood became the cherished retreat of William Pitt the Younger, Britain's youngest ever Prime Minister, who commissioned Sir John Soane to remodel the house and transform the surrounding landscape. It was here, beneath a great oak tree in 1787, that Pitt famously encouraged William Wilberforce to begin the parliamentary campaign to abolish the slave trade. The house was later rebuilt in its current classical Georgian form by the celebrated architect Decimus Burton in 1827. Over the centuries, Holwood has welcomed an extraordinary roll call of visitors and residents, including Charles Darwin, who conducted experiments in the grounds, and Winston Churchill, who dined here regularly during the Second World War. Today, the house and grounds are Grade I listed, reflecting their exceptional historical significance. Location And Lifestyle - Holwood House enjoys an elevated, private position just east of the charming village of Keston, which offers a village hall, pub and post office. More extensive shopping can be found in Bromley, with Sevenoaks under 14 miles away. The area is renowned for its excellent schooling, with a wide selection of highly regarded independent and state schools within easy reach. Fast rail services from Orpington and Bromley South provide swift access into central London, while the M25 is readily accessible. Golfers are well served by nearby courses including Chelsfield Lakes, West Kent and Lullingstone Park. Biggin Hill Airport is just 1.7 miles away, with Gatwick and London City also within comfortable reach. Holwood House is not simply a home; it is a private estate of rare beauty and historical importance, offering a lifestyle defined by space, privacy, elegance and connection to both countryside and city.

We added a conservatory, fitted a new kitchen, installed solar panels and an air source heat pump.” “My favourite room is the sitting area.

The hallway is another feature we have always loved, its bright with high ceilings and a stunning staircase that gives the house a grand feel.” .    “The garden is private, surrounded by high hedges and not overlooked, with open land to one side which makes it feel peaceful. It enjoys sunshine throughout the day and has been the perfect space for family life, with the playhouse and swings bringing joy to the grandchildren.” “Orchard House has also been a wonderful home for entertaining.

Properties combining secure gated living, contemporary architecture and proximity to Central London continue to attract domestic and international buyers alike, particularly within the upper tiers of the South East market.

GARDEN OFFICE A detached garden cabin, recently positioned within the landscaped gardens, is currently used as a home office and benefits from power, internet connectivity and electric heating, with extensive decking surrounding. This provides an excellent additional space for home working, hobbies or leisure. Combining generous and highly adaptable accommodation with a superb private plot, extensive refurbishment and excellent potential for multi-generational living, Woodcroft represents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial family home in one of Woldingham's most sought-after locations.

The original detached cottage, dating from the 1930s, has been thoughtfully enlarged and enhanced to create an elegant home extending to approximately 3,600 sq. ft. The accommodation has evolved to include a generous living room with a bedroom above, alongside a substantial addition that delivers a well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room and a self-contained two-bedroom annexe, seamlessly linked to the principal house at both ground and first floor levels.  The Lounge A split-level reception hall sets a refined tone, providing a natural flow to the principal living spaces. The double-aspect lounge/dining room is a particularly impressive, split-level room, centred around a fireplace and opening via French doors onto the gardens, with woodland beyond. A separate snug offers a more intimate setting, while a practical utility/boot room, finished with quarry tiled flooring, provides direct access to the garden. The Kitchen The kitchen/breakfast room is both spacious and well-considered, enjoying front and rear aspects with doors opening onto the terrace. Underfloor heating sits beneath Indian slate flooring, complemented by a range of painted timber cabinets and an electric and gas range cooker. An internal door gives direct access to the annexe, offering flexibility for multi-generational living or independent guest accommodation. The Bedrooms The first floor provides the principal bedroom, which enjoys charming views across the rear garden and is complemented by a dressing room/walk-in wardrobe and an ensuite bathroom. Two further double bedrooms are served by a well-appointed shower room with electric underfloor heating. From the landing, a staircase rises to the top floor, where bedroom four—currently utilised as a home office—offers flexible accommodation. There is a substantial walk-in eaves storage attic.  The Annexe  The self-contained annexe offers well-proportioned and versatile accommodation, ideally suited to multi-generational living or guest use.

From here, a door leads to the second bedroom, a light-filled double-aspect room featuring a Juliet balcony overlooking the rear garden.  Discreet internal access to the main house is provided via concealed doors, allowing for flexibility between independent and integrated living.  The Garden. The garden is an exceptional feature of Green Hollow, extending to approximately 0.65 of an acre, and enjoying complete privacy, surrounded by woodland with no neighbouring properties overlooking the house. This unique setting creates a rare sense of seclusion and calm, offering a true retreat from the outside world and yet the centre of London is only 18 miles or so away, a 30-minute train journey into Victoria station.  A driveway with a central turning island offers ample parking and leads to a detached double garage with a large workshop space, presenting potential for further accommodation above, subject to the usual consents.  The lawns are interspersed with mature trees, established planting, and a pond.  Generous terraces create ideal areas for entertaining. Throughout, there is a strong connection to the surrounding woodland, enhancing the feeling of being immersed in nature.
