Imagine Waking Up To This View Everyday. This exceptional home offers elevated castle and valley views from all four bedrooms. With a Leicht kitchen, a sociable ground floor and private 0.98 acre gardens, it's your ideal semi-rural family retreat.

Eynsford locals consider Sparepenny Lane to be one of the most sought-after and prestigious road in this historic village. And when you see the breathtaking views of the Darent Valley and castle ruins below, you’ll understand why.

And what sets this property apart is you can wake up to this view every morning from all four bedrooms.

The property sits on a private gated plot of approximately 0.98 acres, offering extensive wraparound gardens and a high degree of privacy and seclusion.

Approached via electric gates, when you drive through you immediately get a sense of exclusivity and security.  

The driveway provides ample parking space and there’s also a timber-framed double garage with electric doors, power, and water, as well as two further outbuildings.  

Inside, the house has been designed with modern family living in mind.  

The ground floor is light, bright and spacious, with underfloor heating throughout.  

The sitting room is a generous size, perfect for entertaining or relaxing, with a stunning feature fireplace and bi-fold doors leading out to an Italian stone paved sun terrace.  

This terrace provides an ideal space for al fresco dining and taking in the stunning views of open fields which stretch into the distance - if you’re lucky you may even spot a deer.  

But without a doubt, the heart of the home is the German made kitchen / dining room. 

It’s a beautifully designed space with high-quality units, integrated Siemens appliances including double ovens and a wine cooler, and a central island with a five-ring induction hob and pop-up extractor.  

The handless design emphasises the clean lines and sophisticated minimalism of this bespoke kitchen.  A separate utility room gives you extra practical space for laundry and storage.  

A further reception room offers flexibility as a family room or snug, while a downstairs shower room adds convenience to the ground floor.

Upstairs, the four double bedrooms all benefit from the elevated position and enjoy far-reaching views of the valley and castle ruins below.  

The master bedroom is a particularly impressive space, with a stylish ensuite shower room, a vaulted ceiling with exposed oak beams and bi-fold doors opening to a Juliet balcony.

There’s also a smaller bedroom (fifth bedroom) at the rear which is currently being used as an office and a gorgeous family bathroom with a beautiful contemporary freestanding bath.

Eynsford itself is a historic and sought-after village in the picturesque Darent Valley, part of the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

The village retains a strong sense of community, with local shops, traditional pubs and the village hall providing a social hub, and a well-regarded primary school.  

Anthony Roper Primary School is rated “Good” by Ofsted and is only a 3 minute drive or a pleasant 20 minute walk away.

If you prefer to get out into the countryside, rather than just enjoy taking in the views, you can head down to the river and catch fish by the ford - a very popular pastime for locals with small children.

Lullingstone Country Park is only a 5 minute drive away. With 460 acres of grasslands and ancient woodland there are walks and trails to suit all ages and fitness levels, along with a visitor centre, café and shop.

Eynsford has everything you’ll need day-to-day but if you’re after more choice of shops or places to eat, it’s only a 15 minute drive to Sevenoaks.

The village is surprisingly well connected given the picture postcard, semi-rural feel.  You can catch a train from the village station and be stepping off the platform at London Bridge in around 40 minutes (changing at Catford or Swanley). And you wouldn’t think it but the M25/M20 junction is less than a 5 minute drive away. 

This exceptional family home offers a rare combination of stunning views, spacious living accommodation and a sought-after location.  The high-quality ‘Leicht’ kitchen, the sociable ground floor layout, and the private 0.98-acre gardens make Castle View the perfect semi-rural family retreat.
