Attwood Place is a truly distinguished Queen Anne Grade II listed property dating back to 1703, set in the heart of the picturesque village of Ash, Sevenoaks. With over three centuries of history, the house combines fine period architecture and original features with areas of modern comfort, creating a home of both charm and versatility.

From the moment you step inside, the generous proportions are immediately evident. The welcoming hallway leads to a formal dining room with a magnificent inglenook fireplace, a characterful sitting room with further feature fireplace, and a family breakfast room that connects seamlessly to the modern kitchen, perfectly positioned to enjoy views across the gardens. A useful cloakroom completes the ground floor, while stairs descend to a spacious cellar, currently used in part as a utility area. The elegant period staircase rises to the first floor, where the main bedroom benefits from a reconfigured layout to have its own dressing room and ensuite shower room. A further well-sized double bedroom is complemented by a study, formally a bedroom, which leads to a family bathroom, the study offers versatility as a home office or additional guest space.

The second floor provides two further bedrooms, both with restricted head height, making them ideal for children or visiting family. Throughout, the rooms are beautifully proportioned, with original details preserved, making them equally suited to family living or formal entertaining. The grounds extend to approximately 1.3 acres and offer a truly idyllic setting. Mature flint walls, established planting and colourful beds frame sweeping lawns and patios for summer entertaining, while a more informal orchard area provides a productive and relaxed outdoor space. Whether for gardening enthusiasts or those who simply wish to enjoy the tranquillity, the gardens offer a haven of peace and privacy. Adding to the lifestyle appeal, a detached heated pool house complex of 1,355 sq ft includes a swimming pool, sauna, and large entertainment space, ensuring year-round recreation and the opportunity to host gatherings in style. To the front of the property, a gravel drive offers ample parking, enhanced by a detached double garage.

Seller Insight
“Attwood Place has been our home for the past twenty nine years. From the very first moment we stepped inside, there was an undeniable welcoming spirit and the beautiful inglenook fireplace sealed our decision. As a Grade II listed property dating back to 1703, it carries with it a rich heritage. We even had the privilege of celebrating its 300th anniversary here, hosting a wonderful party to mark the occasion.” “During our time here, we have been careful to modernise while preserving its charm. We added a garage in the traditional Kent barn style, blending practicality with character and a new roof in 2014. In the sitting room we introduced an additional window to flood the space with light - a lengthy process, but well worth the effort. We also installed a fireplace with a solid wooden beam, in keeping with the style. In the main bedroom we added a walk-in wardrobe and an en-suite bathroom. We also purchased extra land to extend the garden.”

.
“The house is full of beautiful features - exposed beams, many of which were reclaimed from old ships, each carrying its own story. My favourite spaces are the sitting room and dining room, both cosy and perfect for welcoming guests. The layout is unusual, with no passageways - each room flows into the next, making it ideal for entertaining. We are a sociable family, and friends have always loved visiting. In the winter, gatherings are held indoors by the fire, and in the summer, we entertain in the garden or by the swimming pool.” “The garden and orchard are wonderfully private, offering apples, plums, pears, blackberries, gooseberries, and even apricots.” The village hall has offered cinema nights, children’s parties, church and fund raising events, fitness classes including pilates and yoga. It’s a place that brings people together in the local community. We are also fortunate to have one pub which is very sociable. All amenities are within easy reach.” “What we (truncated)
