Rising proudly amidst the sweeping greenery of Emmetts Garden, part of the National Trust estate, Emmetts House is an extraordinary 19th-century gem built from iconic Kentish ragstone. Constructed in the 1800s, this grand residence was home to the influential Lubbock family, whose legacy still whispers through the halls. From its commanding façade to its intricate period detailing, Emmetts House stands as a testament to Victorian craftsmanship, where every stone, arch, and window was placed with care and elegance.
Inside, history blends seamlessly with modern luxury. The flat spans approximately 2,196 sq ft (excluding the cellar), offering a home that is both expansive and intimate. Three generous double bedrooms—including two en suite—provide private sanctuaries, while an additional bathroom and washroom elevate daily living. Every bathroom is a retreat in itself, featuring Villeroy & Boch suites, marble-clad walls, exquisite floor tiles, and indulgent walk-in showers.
The kitchen is a modern masterpiece, with Neff double ovens, a five-ring halogen hob, and a fitted fridge-freezer, balancing function with elegance. In the living room, light pours through a graceful bay window, illuminating a grand marble fireplace and soaring ceilings—spaces designed for both relaxation and entertaining.
Descend into the cellar, and discover a private vault, historically used by the Lubbock family to safeguard their silver. This unique feature evokes the home’s fascinating past, adding character and charm that few properties can match.
Outside, residents enjoy full access to the National Trust grounds, with vibrant herbaceous borders and tranquil paths. Your private south-facing patio offers a serene spot to savor morning coffee or evening sunsets, enveloped in the natural beauty of this historic estate.
Set near the thriving market town of Sevenoaks, Emmetts House offers the rare combination of serene countryside living and excellent connectivity. Trains from Sevenoaks reach London Bridge in just 20 minutes, while Junction 5 of the M25/M20 provides swift access to London and beyond.
Families will appreciate proximity to outstanding schools and a wealth of cultural attractions, from independent boutiques to theatres and leisure facilities. History and nature enthusiasts will delight in the nearby Knole Park, a 1,000-acre deer park with a stately home, and Chartwell, the beloved former home of Winston Churchill. For those seeking peace, the property’s position within Emmetts Garden offers an unrivaled escape from the hustle and bustle, blending tranquility, beauty, and heritage into one extraordinary living experience.
Emmetts House isn’t just a home—it’s a lifestyle. It’s where Victorian elegance, modern luxury, and the serenity of the Kent countryside converge, creating a residence that is as inspiring as it is timeless.
