We are pleased to offer to the market this rare opportunity to purchase this property set on 2.7 acres which is made up of two halves. The substantial five bedroom detached house that sits in a proud position within an oasis of park like gardens protected on all sides by established trees and hedges. In addition to this there is planning permission granted for subdivision of the plot, conversion and extension of the existing garage into a dwelling with associated parking and amenity area creating a separate three/four-bedroom detached bungalow which can be divided off into a plot approaching 0.5 acres.
The main property has been sympathetically extended over the years creating a marvellous family home. The ground floor offers an Inglenook fireplace to the principal reception room and opens onto a full-width newly built conservatory with views over the rear grounds. Three further reception rooms, a very well-appointed kitchen and a utility/boot room make up the rest of the ground floor accommodation. To the first floor you will find the large main bedroom, four further double bedrooms, family bathroom and separate family shower room. Set on beautiful grounds of over two acres, laid to lawn, with formal gardens secluded on all sides by substantial trees and hedges. To the rear of the grounds sits an all-weather fenced tennis court and there are numerous outbuildings including a fantastic whirlpool pavilion garden room with 8-person jacuzzi, its own patio area and an outdoor barbecue kitchen area to enjoy those summer evenings. Recently installed garden lighting around the property brings the property to life at night and an automatic watering systems and robotic lawnmower help to minimise garden maintenance.
The proposed additional property set within its own subdivision plot of approximately half an acre, gives the new owner the opportunity to create a perfect additional residence for an extended family group, or simply as a new development project as new properties in this green-belt area are extremely rare to find.
This no forward chain home is now looking for a new custodian that will develop the plot and is sure to suit an array of buyers, including a multigenerational family or someone looking to just develop the property further. Either way it could create an opportunity or those from London looking for an ‘escape to the country’ and a 'get away from it all' experience and yet is still conveniently located for road and rail links into central London. The village falls in the Sevenoaks District of Kent.

Seller Insight
For the past six years, our cherished abode has been The Cottage, a quaint property boasting classic cottage-style architecture dating back to the 1930s.
During our residency, we've dedicated ourselves to enhancing and modernising the space. Our endeavours include the addition of a splendid cedar-wood pavilion which now hosts a luxurious hot-tub. We've also created a delightful BBQ area, erected two log cabins, replaced a sizable conservatory, established a fenced-off area for dog walks, and even installed a charming stable door within the interior. Throughout these improvements, we've maintained the authentic character of the cottage while infusing it with contemporary comforts.
Each room within our home exudes a cosy charm, with spacious layouts and thoughtful design elements preserving its cottage-like ambiance. The absence of open-plan arrangements fosters a sense of intimacy, while double-aspect views and connecting doors promote a harmonious flow between spaces. (truncated)
