Located in a woodland location in the popular area of Seal Chart this excellent country house, dating in part to the mid 1600's, sits in approximately 3 acres of gardens and woodland. The house provides an excellent mix of living and entertaining space and the current owners have improved and reconfigured throughout the house whilst they have been there. The house offers that rare combination of countryside seclusion whilst being within easy reach of the amenities, schools and transport links of nearby Sevenoaks and Otford.

The house sits at the north end of its plot benefitting from a south facing terrace and garden together with a large parking area in front of the house itself. The ground floor has been updated by the owners to provide a variety of living space, centred around the large, south facing modern kitchen/breakfast/living room extending out into the garden. A fully fitted kitchen with central island, induction hob, double oven and a large variety of units also then provides access out onto the south facing stone terrace. A utility room, ample storage and a guest WC then complete the ensemble at the western side of the house.

Returning to the entrance hallway you enter the house from the eastern side and this links through to the kitchen via a snug/library/study area along the northern wing of the property. With wooden floors throughout and with some of the period features of the original house these two rooms then connect with a charming snug/sitting room (originally the property's formal dining room) with feature fireplace and south facing windows. At the centre of the house, and having been extended out on the south side, sits the light and bright formal living space with wooden floorboards, large south facing windows looking out over the stone terrace and garden. A wood burner sits in a fireplace on the northern wall whilst a contemporary staircase leads up to the first floor.

Upstairs the bedroom space has also been updated and reconfigured to give a wonderful south facing principal bedroom suite (with beamed ceiling) with dressing room and en suite bathroom. Three other double bedrooms (one with separate sink and shower) share a family bathroom. Additional storage is provided through extensive eaves access.

At the rear of the house, and adjoining the double garage, sits an additional annex living space, providing the house with additional an additional bedroom with en suite, perfect for guests and additional family members.

The mature gardens then surround the house, most notably on the south side as the stone terrace, perfect for al fresco dining and entertaining, leads into the south facing lawned garden. These are bordered by mature trees, shrubs and herbaceous flower borders including witch hazel, jasmine, camellia and rose beds. A grassed walkway with gated access leads into the adjoining woodland together with a, now unused, manege together with an additional area of grassland.


The house is located in Seal Chart and close to the popular Chart Farm. it is ideally placed for nearby Sevenoaks with its excellent schools, amenities and transport links (with its mainline station only 3.4 miles away and with fast trains to London Bridge, Charing Cross and Canon Street). More locally, Kemsing Station provides services to London Victoria and is located 1.2m away whilst Otford also provides a regular fast train service into London Bridge and Charing Cross together with other services into London Victoria.

The area provides a wide range of excellent schools including primary schools in nearby Ightham to the Grammar and private preparatory and secondary schools in Sevenoaks, Tonbridge and Maidstone (including Sevenoaks School, Tonbridge School, Maidstone Grammar School, The Judd School, The New Beacon, Sevenoaks Prep, St. Michaels Prep School and Walthamstow Hall) whilst there are a wide range of leisure facilities and sports clubs within a close range of the house.
