Set within the charming Kent village of Brasted, on the edge of the North Downs and just moments from the historic market town of Sevenoaks, Brasted Hall is a remarkable Grade II listed residence steeped in English heritage and timeless elegance. Originally constructed in 1803 and modelled on a traditional French Château, the Hall is an exceptional example of early 19th-century architecture, combining grand proportions with refined period detailing.

For many years, the estate was owned by the renowned Durtnell family, historically recognised as one of England’s oldest and most respected building contractors, with a lineage tracing back to the reign of Henry VIII. During the Second World War, Brasted Hall was requisitioned by the Ministry of Defence and served as the headquarters for the Royal Canadian Air Force, adding another fascinating chapter to its distinguished history.

Following the war, the Hall was sold at auction and sympathetically converted into four magnificent apartments, each retaining the character, scale and elegance of the original building. This impressive two-bedroom apartment spans approximately 1,180 sq ft and beautifully balances period grandeur with modern convenience.

The property boasts exceptionally high ceilings, elegant proportions and an abundance of natural light throughout. A newly fitted kitchen complements the home’s classic styling, while the generous reception spaces and refined interiors create a wonderful sense of sophistication and comfort.

Externally, the apartment benefits from its own substantial lawned garden bordered by mature shrubs and planting, alongside beautifully maintained communal grounds. Additional features include a garage, access to a wine cellar and storage space, a share of freehold and an exceptionally long lease with approximately 968 years remaining. The service charge is approximately £250 per month.

Brasted itself is one of Kent’s most picturesque villages, renowned for its historic character, traditional inns, independent boutiques and countryside walks, while excellent transport links via nearby Sevenoaks provide swift access into Central London, making this a rare opportunity to acquire a distinguished home of historical significance within an idyllic village setting.
