Situated in a very convenient yet peaceful setting within this highly desirable village to the east of Sevenoaks. A substantial family home of 15th Century origins and several later additions presented in wonderful condition.

The property, which previously was the home of Richard Hearne, also known as Mr Pastry, is a deceptively light, spacious and attractive Grade II Listed detached house. It offers naturally lit space throughout.

As you walk through the front door you are welcomed by the warm feel of the drawing room with its feature fireplace and signature bread oven. You can access the sitting room via the bar, through the oak door made from paneling from Windsor Castle. The sitting room is flooded with natural light from the large, stained glass windows in the split level vaulted library area which is great for peaceful reading. A small archway takes you into the dining room which opens onto the kitchen which has the benefit of a gas Aga as well as integrated cupboards and appliances. The ground floor also consists of a study, a bedroom annexe/ family room, utility room and newly fitted shower room. There is also the benefit of a cellar.

On the first floor there are five double bedrooms plus a master suite which has a king post with dressing room and bathroom. There is a further single bedroom/study.

The west facing garden is approximately 0.89 acres and is full sun from mid morning. Mr Pastry has previously used part of the garden to conduct plays which included his friends Buster Keaton and David Niven. A garage and garden store are located to the front of the private drive which has an electric gate.

Places of interest

    Sevenoaks has many desirable neighbourhoods in which you can experience the best of urban living in Kent. From the private roads of the Wildernesse and Kippington Estates to the up-and-coming St. John's Quarter, the lifestyles they can offer are as varied as they are desirable. Village life is excellent, too, with Otford, Plaxtol, Ightham and Shipbourne all nearby. Sevenoaks is also so much more than a commuter town. Its community of independent shops, cafés and restaurants along with the major chains that one would expect, mean that all amenities are on your doorstep. From the Stag Theatre and its large-scale musical productions, to the numerous sporting clubs that provide a recreational release for the active types among us, not to mention Knole Park in the Kent Downs AONB, there are facilities and activities available for all ages and interests.

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on April 28, 2022

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
