If you’re looking for an out-of-the-ordinary home that will impress your guests before they even step foot inside, this converted church hall in Sevenoaks will do just that.
It’s not often you come across a truly striking property, which is why we couldn’t resist showing off this surprising four-bedroom family home.
While it might look like your average family home inside - although the £1.25 million price tag suggests otherwise - the front of this house still has the distinctive 19th century architecture and charming character from its previous life as the neighbourhood church.
St John's Hall has a fascinating history. The property, which is less than a mile from Sevenoaks train station, was used as a church until the First World War, when it served as a hospital for injured soldiers and civilians. It was one of over 2,500 Voluntary Aid Detachment hospitals set up in the UK during the war.
Despite extensive refurbishments by the current owners, the home still holds onto many of its historic features, including vaulted ceilings, stone mullion windows and original pine flooring.
Now being used as a family home, the property has four bedrooms, including a master bedroom with an en suite bathroom and south-facing garden views, a family bathroom, a kitchen with top-quality appliances including an American-style fridge freezer and an Aga, and a spacious conservatory.
The home also includes a library, where you can while away the hours engrossed in your favourite books, and a sitting room with a wood burning stove for those cosy winter evenings. There is also a useful utility room on the ground floor, which is perfect for storage.
The garden, which has remained enclosed and partially walled, is a great suntrap with a decked seating area, lawn and flower borders. The garden also includes a sun awning so you can still enjoy the outdoor space, even in the height of summer.
Along with its stunning features, the front of the house also boasts plenty of off-road parking and a bike shed, not to mention an attractive selection of shrubs.
