Description
In the vendors words:-
We were drawn to this house for several compelling reasons.
Firstly, its idyllic setting within an "area of outstanding beauty" instantly captivated us. The allure of living amidst lush greenery, with a garden that backs onto woodland, offered the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. The fact that the property is concealed from the road, ensuring utmost privacy, further appealed to our desire for tranquility and seclusion. Additionally, the cottage's original features, dating back to its construction circa 1906, exuded timeless charm and character. We were enchanted by the warmth and authenticity of these features, which added a unique ambience to the home.
The close proximity to Knole Park, a renowned 380 hectare biological Site of Special Scientific Interest, provided us with countless opportunities to explore and enjoy nature's beauty right on our doorstep. Moreover, the convenience of having access to numerous grammar schools within a 10-mile radius was a significant factor for us as parents prioritizing our children's education.
Furthermore, the excellent transport links from Sevenoaks station, allowing us to reach numerous London mainline stations in under 40 minutes, and some stations in Hertfordshire, offered the perfect balance between countryside serenity and urban convenience.
Over the past 9 years of living here, we have cherished every moment in this charming cottage. The sense of security and peace of mind afforded by the crime-free environment has made it a truly comforting place to call home. We've enjoyed countless leisurely strolls in the garden and nearby woodland, soaking in the natural beauty that surrounds us.
The proximity to our local pub which we jokingly call our personal Gastro pub has been a delightful bonus, providing us with opportunities to indulge in delicious meals and socialize with neighbours and friends in a relaxed and inviting atmosphere.
In summary, our decision to buy this house has been rewarded with years of happiness and contentment. Its tranquil setting, historic charm, educational opportunities, convenient transport links, and vibrant local community have enriched our lives in countless ways, making it a place we're proud to call home
As a further footnote the owners have provided us with some great ideas on how you could maximize the large outside space that comes with the house
Create a picturesque garden retreat: Utilize the ample space to design a tranquil garden sanctuary with winding paths, colourful flower beds, and shaded seating areas, perfect for relaxation and unwinding amidst nature's beauty.
Establish a productive vegetable garden: Harness the garden's potential to cultivate a bountiful vegetable patch, allowing you to grow a variety of fresh produce for personal consumption. From vibrant salads to hearty soups, the possibilities are endless.
Develop an outdoor entertainment area: Transform the garden into an inviting outdoor entertainment space complete with a patio or deck, barbecue area, and perhaps even a fire pit, ideal for hosting gatherings, barbecues, and al fresco dining experiences.
Install a children's play area: Utilize a section of the garden to create a fun and safe play zone for children, featuring swings, slides, climbing frames, and other recreational equipment, providing endless hours of enjoyment and adventure.
Cultivate a wildlife-friendly habitat: Embrace the natural surroundings by cultivating a wildlife-friendly garden that attracts birds, butterflies, and other beneficial creatures. Incorporate native plants, bird feeders, and wildlife habitats to create a thriving ecosystem that supports biodiversity and conservation efforts.
