Southdown Cottage is a truly enchanting property that exudes a timeless charm. With its origins dating back to the early 18th Century, this Grade II listed cottage carries a rich history as the former brew house when the adjoining Southdown House was the Red Lion Inn. Today, it stands as a stunning four-bedroom cottage nestled in a highly sought-after location, just off the green in the heart of Bessels Green and only 1.2 miles from Sevenoaks Station on foot.

As you step inside, you are immediately greeted by the warmth and character that radiate throughout the home. The property boasts two inviting reception rooms. The first is a delightful dining room adorned with captivating period features and exposed beams, creating an elegant space for entertaining family and friends. The second reception room is a generous dual-aspect sitting room, flooded with natural light. Its focal point is a charming fireplace with a log-burning stove. The kitchen/breakfast room offers ample space for cooking and casual dining. With room for a breakfast table, this welcoming area becomes the heart of the home. Beyond the kitchen lies the cottage-style walled garden, where a door provides seamless access to the paved patio area. Additionally, a ground-floor bedroom with a modern ensuite shower room adds convenience and flexibility to the cottage's layout, while also providing direct access to the garden.

Ascending the staircase, you reach a spacious and light-filled galleried landing, serving as a central hub for the three bedrooms on this level. The principal bedroom features an adjoining ensuite shower and fitted wardrobe cupboards. A further family bathroom caters to the needs of the remaining bedrooms, providing a comfortable and well-appointed space.

Stepping outside, a large, paved patio area acts as an inviting space for outdoor gatherings. The cottage-style garden itself is a haven of tranquillity, with beautiful mature flower beds and lawn areas. A former bothy has been thoughtfully transformed into a timber summer house/studio, equipped with power and lighting, creating a versatile space for various pursuits. The property also includes a detached garage and a greenhouse, catering to the needs of gardening enthusiasts and offering ample storage options. Approaching Southdown Cottage from the Green, a private gravel driveway leads you to its tucked-away position, ensuring off-road parking and providing convenient access to the detached garage.
