Main Road, Sundridge, Sevenoaks, Kent

HISTORY

The current owner of the property has a letter dating back to 1995, handwritten by an historian that visited the property at that time and gave his view of it's possible age. As well as some extremely interesting observations about the site and local area...

"Date of the original house is suggested by a number of factors, the full height second storey, the 'flat' dais beam moulding, the half floored open hall. All suggest a date of c1500"

"The building is situated a few yards south of an old water mill site and so will have been associated with the mill. It is clearly a medieval hall house of some quality judging by timbers and dais beam"

We would be delighted to share this letter with any party that would like more information of the property's history.

We have been advised by the current owner of the property that the house is NOT listed. It does fall within the Sundridge Conservation Area.
