Extended three-bed home with large garden and farmland views, close to village amenities.
Victorian semi-detached cottage in AONB and Metropolitan Green Belt
Set in the Metropolitan Green Belt and an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this extended Victorian semi offers a family-friendly cottage lifestyle with farmland views. The ground floor’s open-plan sitting, dining/family and bespoke Shaker-style kitchen create a bright, flexible entertaining hub that flows out to a large paved terrace and mature garden.
Three bedrooms sit upstairs, including a principal bedroom with an ensuite. Period features such as original fireplace surrounds, exposed beams and brick hearths give the house character while contemporary fittings in the kitchen and bathroom provide day-to-day comfort. Ample off-street parking and two storage sheds are practical pluses for family life.
Practical considerations are important: heating is by a private oil boiler and the solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated, so energy costs are likely above modern standards. Drainage is a private system shared with a neighbour. Broadband speeds are slow and council tax is in Band F — factors to weigh for remote working and running costs.
This home suits buyers seeking a countryside setting within easy reach of local shops, schools and Sevenoaks station. It offers immediate charm and liveability with scope to improve energy performance and update services over time.
