Outside
Eversleigh’s west facing garden is rather special. Landscaped by an award-winning designer, it is simply stunning, a serene and secluded space, perfect for both relaxation and entertaining. Mainly laid to lawn, the garden benefits from a high degree of privacy with clever planting to provide interest and colour throughout the year.

Key features include a wraparound paved terrace that leads to a dining area, along with a shed, arbour, log store, raised seating area with firepit, water features, and a striking copper moongate with a bench. The garden is enhanced by remote-controlled lighting, an automatic watering system, and convenient side access on both sides of the property. A gated entrance opens to a bonded gravel driveway, providing parking for several vehicles. Boundaries on all sides — including the front — are defined by a mix of mature evergreen hedging, offering both privacy and a polished aesthetic.

Location
Westerham is a charming and historic market town nestled at the foot of the North Downs, in the heart of the Kent countryside. Rich in heritage, the town is best known for its connections to Sir Winston Churchill, whose former home at Chartwell is just minutes away. The attractive town centre offers a variety of independent shops, boutiques, cafés, pubs, and restaurants, many set around a picturesque green with a statue of Churchill at its centre.

Westerham offers the perfect blend of countryside living and convenient access to London with excellent road connections, being only 4.2 miles from Junction 5 of the M25. Sevenoaks and Oxted Stations also both offer fast services to central London. The area is also well served by a selection of excellent schools, both state and independent, making it a popular choice for families.

Surrounded by rolling hills, open countryside, and several National Trust properties, Westerham is ideal for those who enjoy walking, cycling, and exploring the outdoors — all while remaining close to the amenities and culture of a thriving small town.
