Bishops Mead is a handsome 18th-century detached house set in about 5.9 acres of formal gardens, paddock and mature trees within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the Metropolitan Green Belt. Recently redecorated with a new kitchen, updated central heating and new carpets, the house offers generous, characterful accommodation including a triple-aspect sitting room with open fireplace, conservatory and a principal suite with dressing room and en-suite. The property is offered with no onward chain and sits 0.3 miles from Sundridge village and around 2.6 miles from Sevenoaks station.
The grounds are a major draw: formal lawns, terraces, planted borders, outbuildings, a summerhouse, paddock and countryside views — excellent for families, hobby farmers or those wanting privacy and space for outdoor pursuits. Off-street parking, a double garage and workshop add practical value for vehicles and storage; extensive local footpaths and bridleways lie immediately to hand.
Buyers should note a few material points. The EPC is rated D despite recent heating works; the house’s timber-frame origins mean some insulation levels are assumed limited. Neighbours have a right of access over part of the driveway, and a public footpath runs alongside the rear boundary with a new path agreed on the eastern boundary. Council tax is described as quite expensive. These factors affect running costs and privacy, but the size, location and scope of the garden present clear potential to upgrade energy performance and personalise interiors.
For families seeking a substantial period home close to excellent local schools (Radnor House c. 0.5 miles) and Sevenoaks rail links, Bishops Mead combines historic charm, generous outdoor space and immediate access to countryside walks — ready to occupy now with scope to improve efficiency and add long-term value.
