Impressive family home of character set within a prime Sevenoaks location, approx. 0.4 miles from the station.
19 The Drive is an attractive and substantial semi-detached property of immense character and charm, originally Edwardian with later additions. The well-proportioned and versatile accommodation is arranged over three floors, combining period features with modern embellishments and is ideal for both family living and formal entertaining. Salient points include a stylish kitchen, high ceilings, decorative stained-glass windows, recessed lighting, feature fireplaces, balconies, bay windows and a vaulted light well. Also of note is the impressive, south westerly garden, together with the off-road parking and close proximity to the station and High Street, both of which are within 0.4 miles.
The principal reception rooms comprise an impressive sitting room with a fireplace with built-in cupboards and shelving to either side and a view to the front, a dining room with a feature fireplace, and a spacious breakfast/family room with a vaulted light well and French doors opening to the rear terrace, all providing superb entertaining areas.

An adjoining utility room with a door to the outside, additional storage and space for appliances completes the ground floor.
An impressive set of stairs rise from the elegant entrance hall to the first floor and three bedrooms, one with generous built-in wardrobes and another with doors opening to a balcony, all served by a well-appointed family bathroom.
A WC and access to a further balcony to the front of the property completes the first floor.
Arranged over the second floor and completing the accommodation are two bedrooms, one with generous built-in wardrobes, a shower room and an airing cupboard.
19 The Drive is approached over a block paved driveway leading to the front of the property and providing ample off-road parking. Behind the side gate is an outhouse with two secure rooms for gardening equipment, bicycles and other storage.
The wonderful, south westerly landscaped gardens to the rear are a real feature of the property and are predominantly laid to lawn, interspersed with a large variety of established deciduous and evergreen shrubs and trees, with swathes of well-stocked flowerbeds throughout. The property opens out onto a large, paved terrace, ideal for al fresco entertaining, and the plot amounts to about 0.26 acres in total.
