Covering approximately three quarters of an acre of land and located on a popular and exclusive road in Sevenoaks the house was originally built in the 1920's and was once part of small number of sizeable properties built on the southern side of the town. Over the years the surrounding plots have been split leaving very few well-sized sites left, of which this is one.

The scope for development sits both in the existing house (which is locally listed) where planning permission (Ref 20/01911/HOUSE) is in place to extend the existing property into an L-shape home and the rare opportunity on the southerly side of the plot to build a modern and sizeable new-build house with open plan living space alongside five reconfigured bedrooms upstairs (Planning Ref 20/00163/FUL).

The current house retains its original layout with large entrance hallway leading to its formal living rooms; a drawing room and separate dining room. The kitchen then sits alongside a utility room, larder, guest WC and a study room on the northern side of the house. Upstairs, accessed via a large staircase form the main hallway, the property holds five bedrooms and a couple of bathrooms. The planning currently in place is to open up the ground floor and extend the existing living room into the south-west garden to create an L-shaped ground floor.

The southerly side of the plot has received planning permission for the building of a brand new house of approximately 4500ft2 and with its own entrance from Grassy Lane. This new house would be set over two stories and consist of five double bedrooms upstairs with ample open plan living space on the ground floor.


The plot is ideally located on the southern side of Sevenoaks and within easy reach of the centre of town with its shops, restaurants and amenities together with the excellent communications links and local schools in the area. The plot sits on a quiet residential road and covers approximately three quarters of an acre. Sevenoaks provides excellent transport links with direct trains running into Charing Cross, London Bridge and Canon Street from the main line station whilst the nearby A21 links to the M25 and the wider UK motorway networks including the channel ports , Gatwick and Heathrow airports and London itself.

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
