In a wonderful location, occupying a commanding position within an exclusive private estate and in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, a magnificent, detached country house with substantial accommodation, surrounded by lovely, landscaped gardens. Designed and constructed towards the end of the twentieth century, Manor Road was laid out to reflect a manorial estate as it would have developed over the centuries, therefore the six private properties each have their own distinctive, heritage style. Willington Manor is set at the head of the tree lined avenue approach and has architecture reflecting the Edwardian style. With imposing exterior elevations of red brick under a tall, pitched tiled roof, French doors and windows are large, leaded light double-glazed sash casements, allowing for maximum natural light penetration and framing the fine prospect over the gardens and of the views beyond. Maintained exceptionally well by the current owners who have been in residence since new, internally the accommodation extends to approximately 6370 square feet and is arranged over three floors, which, despite its size, has a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Rooms sizes are very generous with tall ceilings and include elegant reception rooms and sociable family living areas. A Gothic style, brick entrance porch has double doors which open into the fine reception hall with polished oak floors and a handsome oak staircase. The drawing room enjoys a triple aspect with two large bay windows and French doors to the rear garden and has a stone fireplace with gas fire, whilst the dining room has a walk-in wine store and polished oak flooring. From the casual sitting room, a pair of part glazed doors open into the kitchen/breakfast room, which is comprehensively furnished with a range of white wall and floor cabinetry in a contemporary style with black granite work surfaces and integrated appliances by Siemens, Smeg and Neff. Opening through from the kitchen area is a marvellous, hexagonal garden room providing a lovely informal dining and sitting space, enjoying fabulous views of the gardens.
There are six/seven bedrooms arranged over the upper two levels. The principal bedroom suite has a large bay window to the front with exceptional far-reaching views as far as London on clear days, a fully fitted dressing room and a large en-suite bathroom with separate shower cabinet. There are four further bedrooms, three with en-suite shower rooms and one with a walk-in dressing room. The second floor is given over to two large rooms, one at present used as a games/hobby room, separated by a ‘Jack ‘n’ Jill’ bathroom.
Outside
In total the private estate extends to approximately 17 acres with Willington Manor benefitting from just under 2.5 acres of private gardens. Accessed via electrically operated gates, opening on to a tree lined avenue, the house itself has an electric five bar gate opening on to a wide private drive leading to the detached triple garage. The gardens are beautifully landscaped with carefully cared for sweeping lawns, well-stocked herbaceous borders, colourful shrubs, mature trees and a stone terrace traversing the rear of the house.
Situation
Manor Road is set within a manicured private estate, approximately seven miles to the northeast of Sevenoaks, which is a thriving, vibrant town with excellent shopping, entertainment and sporting facilities, as well as fast trains to the West End and City of London with journey times from 28 minutes. There are local shops in West Kingsdown just over 1 mile from the house, whilst the quaint village of Otford is about 4 miles away, which has a train service into London Victoria. The area is renowned for the excellent selection in schooling including local village primary and junior schools, grammar schools in Sevenoaks, Tonbridge and Maidstone, prep schools in Sevenoaks and Otford and public schools in Sevenoaks and Tonbridge.
