SUMMER BY NAME, SUMMER BY NATURE

Summer Cottage, Sevenoaks
Offers in region of: £1,995,000
Summer Cottage, situated on Brittains Lane in Sevenoaks, is a truly exceptional, warm and welcoming family
home, which you cannot help but fall in love with as soon as you walk through the door. Mid Kent Homes
built the house in 2006 for the managing director’s own occupation, and he clearly had expensive taste
and a wife who knew just what the ultimate family home should entail. Accordingly, everywhere you look
there is evidence of an exacting attention to detail and unrivalled finishes.
At almost 4,000 square feet, the accommodation
is beautifully proportioned, spacious and perfect
for entertaining. On the ground floor, there are
four reception rooms plus a welcoming entrance
hall, large kitchen/dining room, a laundry room,
utility room and WC. Meanwhile, four bedrooms
can be found on the first floor, one of which is
the master bedroom with its own dressing room
and Duravit or PhillipeStarcken-suite bathroom.
Particular features of the property include:
• Amtico flooring features throughout the vast
majority of the accommodation, with solid
oak/multi-paned doors, a solid oak staircase
and solid oak garage doors.
• A range of fully bespoke Chambers of Knockholt
oak units in the kitchen, with black granite tops,
a Mercury range cooker and Miele appliances.
• A beautiful orangery complete with air
conditioning unit, wine fridge and direct access
to the rear garden.
• Four further reception rooms, which includes
an elegant drawing room with recessed
television and shelving, a large family room, a
separate dining area with patio doors to the

rear garden, and a study with bespoke Neville
Johnson fitted furniture.
• A utility room with fitted cupboards and
additional dishwasher, plus a further laundry
room with washing machine and dryer. Both
rooms have direct access to the rear garden.
