White Friars Lodge is a spacious detached family home providing nearly 4000 sq ft of living space dating back to 1914. It has been extended and enhanced to a high standard by the current owners whilst retaining the charm and character of the Arts and Crafts period. The property is immaculately presented throughout and provides well-portioned accommodation ideal for family living and formal entertaining. Conveniently located for Sevenoaks high-street and the mainline station the property is within walking distance of Sevenoaks School and New Beacon School. White Friars Lodge enjoys an elevated position with the plot extending to approximately a third of an acre and a south facing garden.

The original front door opens into the period delightful entrance hall containing original features which provides access to the two principal receptions rooms along with stairs to the first floor. There is also a generous size boot room and separate w.c. An inner hall (which also forms part of the original house) with extensive fitted storage and a wood burning stove leads invitingly through to the triple aspect kitchen / dining room with double French doors leading out onto the pretty garden. The kitchen has been comprehensively fitted with an attractive range of wall and base units along with a central island with breakfast bar and quart worktops. There is also a range cooker along with a selection of integrated appliances. Opposite the kitchen is the utility room with integrated appliances and built-in storage units along with an adjoining stunning shower room. Forming part of the new extension via glazed double doors is the playroom/snug with its gas stove and with bifold doors leading out onto a garden terrace. The modern study with built-in storage leads off the playroom. Both have under floor heating. Completing the accommodation on the ground floor are two further well-proportioned triple aspect sitting rooms. One forms part of the original house with a period gas fire, the other being a family sitting room.

Completing the ground floor accommodation to the rear, is an attractive porch with delightful, covered seating/dining area.

On the first floor there are six bedrooms, two forming part of the new extension together with three bathrooms which have been recently fully refurbished. The principal bedroom is double aspect and benefits from an adjacent shower room. There are five further excellent double bedrooms served by two well-appointed family bathrooms both with separate baths and shower cubicles. Three of the bedrooms benefit from fitted wardrobes. Additional extensive fitted wardrobes are located in the landing area of the new extension.

Externally the property is set back from the road in an elevated position with a useful drive to the front of the property while an additional attractive sweeping driveway leads to the secluded rear of the property with parking for several cars. The recently renovated, well-appointed detached annexe provides further modern and high-quality accommodation with kitchen / living room, bedroom and separate shower room along with underfloor heating throughout. The principal garden to the rear of the property is primarily laid to lawn with seating areas and planted beds and borders. A paved pathway runs along the rear of the house opening out onto patio / dining areas either side of the house, one of which is covered by an attractive high vaulted portico creating an excellent outdoor entertainment space.
