Upstairs, the first floor is dedicated to relaxation and flexible living. At the rear of the house, a bright and airy living room features a large window, fireplace, and plenty of space for two sofas and a media setup. Across the landing, there’s a good-sized bedroom that could easily double as a home office or guest room. On the top floor, you’ll find two further double bedrooms. The main bedroom enjoys a private en-suite shower room, while the second double has access to a full family bathroom with bath and overhead shower. A central landing and built-in wardrobe/storage add to the practicality.

Location Guide:

Nestled on the eastern edge of Sevenoaks, Greatness is a primarily residential area characterised by a blend of family housing, local amenities, and open green spaces. It sits within easy reach of the town centre while retaining a quieter, more suburban feel. Historically, Greatness has evolved from its roots in the industrial age—once home to the Greatness Brickworks—into a well-integrated part of modern Sevenoaks. The area appeals to those seeking a balance between town convenience and access to countryside, benefiting from its proximity to Greatness Park and surrounding woodland.

Transport Links:

Greatness enjoys convenient connections to both local and regional destinations. The nearest mainline rail station is Bat & Ball, just a short walk away, offering direct services to London Blackfriars and Sevenoaks. Sevenoaks Station, a little further to the southwest, provides faster and more frequent services to London Bridge, Charing Cross, and Cannon Street, making it particularly popular with commuters. The area is well-served by local bus routes, including services running along Seal Road, linking Greatness with central Sevenoaks, Otford, and surrounding villages. For drivers, the A25 runs just north of the area, while the nearby M26 and M20 motorways offer efficient routes to London, the M25, and further afield into Kent and the South East.

Education:

Families in the Greatness area have access to a wide selection of educational facilities. St John’s Church of England Primary School is the closest primary option and is well-regarded in the local community. Secondary education is catered for by Trinity School and Knole Academy, both easily reachable. Sevenoaks also hosts a number of independent schools, including Sevenoaks School, one of the UK’s most prestigious co-educational boarding and day schools, offering an International Baccalaureate curriculum. Early years education is supported by several nurseries and pre-schools nearby, contributing to the area’s family-friendly reputation.

Local Attractions:

While Greatness itself is a quieter residential enclave, it benefits greatly from nearby green spaces and historical landmarks. Greatness Park is a popular open space for walking, jogging, and informal sports, and includes wooded areas and a lake. To the east, the broader countryside around Seal and Kemsing offers scenic walking routes along the North Downs. Within a short drive is Knole Park, a National Trust estate and deer park that surrounds the magnificent Knole House, one of the country’s largest houses and a key heritage site. The expansive grounds are a haven for nature lovers and history enthusiasts alike.

Entertainment:

Residents of Greatness enjoy easy access to Sevenoaks town centre, where a range of cultural and leisure amenities can be found. The Stag Theatre offers live performances, cinema screenings, and community events throughout the year. For dining and socialising, the town has an array of restaurants, pubs, and cafés, from well-known chains to independent venues. Retail needs are well-catered for with supermarkets, boutique shops, and high street brands located along London Road and within the Bligh’s Meadow shopping area. For more extensive shopping, Bluewater and Tunbridge Wells are both accessible by car. Fitness and sports enthusiasts can take advantage of the Sevenoaks Leisure Centre, which offers a gym, swimming pool, and classes, while outdoor pursuits are well-supported by local sports clubs and nearby golf courses, such as Knole Park Golf Club and Wildernesse Golf Club.
