Launch success for prestigious homes in Sevenoaks

Halstead Place, a prestigious new development in Sevenoaks, by leading Kent housebuilder Ward Homes, has launched with great success, with over 300 people attending the opening weekend.

Set in a stunning, historical location, a Grade II Listed Stable Block and Coach House together with a Gate House form the backdrop to a collection of 33, three, four, five and six-bedroom semi-detached and detached houses, all with private gardens. Four of the homes are being sensitively refurbished and converted to residential use with the remainder being newly built including provision for social housing.

The luxurious five-bedroom School Master’s Lodge showhome is now open to view. Set on the original site of the headmaster’s house, the home boasts a vaulted ceiling in the master bedroom, floor-to-ceiling glazing and a vaulted gallery landing. The spacious kitchen/breakfast room benefits from stone worktops and a modern gas-on-glass cooker as well as two integrated ovens. Considerable living space throughout the home includes a spacious drawing room, dining room, study and utility room. The large master bedroom and second bedroom both benefit from ensuite shower rooms and there are two further good size double bedrooms, a single bedroom and a family bathroom. Outside, large landscaped gardens add to the overall grandeur of the property.

Nick Fenton, Managing Director for Ward Homes, said: “We are extremely proud to be working on this superb development, and it is great to see so much interest at such an early stage. Halstead Place is set in a fabulous, sought after location and the combination of both new and converted homes ensures plenty of choice for buyers. The opportunity to live in contemporary homes in such a historic and beautiful setting is very appealing and we hope the development’s success story continues.”

Historical features within the 22 acre site include a scheduled ancient monument and walled garden which are also being restored. Extensive areas of open space, including a village green and two former playing fields, will provide a real haven for residents. Expansive open space will be landscaped to provide areas where residents can play sports, have picnics or simply relax.

Halstead Place is five miles from Sevenoaks with its array of shops, restaurants and bars. Knockholt and Sevenoaks train stations offer frequent services to London; Charing Cross and Canon Street can be reached in 30-40 minutes. The area is served by excellent bus services and road links, with the nearby A21, A25, M25 and M26.
