About this property

A handsome Edwardian four bedroom semi-detached home, comprehensively re-imagined and finished to an exceptional contemporary standard — with bespoke joinery, designer lighting and a full sustainable-energy package — a short walk from Sevenoaks mainline station.

27 St John’s Road is a handsome 1908 semi-detached home that has been comprehensively re-engineered and extended, then finished to a standard rarely found in the open market. Behind its retained period frontage — bay window, brick detailing and conservation-style timber-framed glazing — lies a turnkey, energy-efficient family home arranged over four floors, with not a detail overlooked.

A welcoming entrance hall opens into a bright, bay-fronted reception that flows through to the heart of the house: a spectacular open-plan kitchen, dining and family room. Created by a full-width single-storey extension, this space is crowned by a glazed roof lantern and opens to the garden through full-width bi-folding doors, flooding the rear of the home with light. The kitchen is appointed with a handmade island, stone work surfaces and a full complement of integrated appliances, with a bespoke banquette built into the island — a considered, joinery-led design throughout.

The first floor offers two generous double bedrooms served by a luxurious family bathroom — freestanding bath, walk-in rainfall shower, twin vanity and statement tiling. A full-width dormer extension to the second floor provides two further bedrooms, including a superb principal suite with its own en-suite shower room. Period detailing — deep cornicing, ceiling roses — has been reinstated and paired with designer lighting, engineered timber herringbone flooring and fitted joinery throughout. Crucially, the house is also future-proofed: solar PV with battery storage, an air source heat pump and wet underfloor heating deliver low running costs behind conservation-style detailing that preserves the building’s character.
