This is what the vendors had to say about their lovely home. 

What attracted you to the property when we bought it ?

We loved everything about this property. We had younger children at the time and it is superbly situated for some exceptional primary, secondary and specialist schools. My oldest son is autistic and we were able to use the swift transport links to get him into school in Tonbridge.
These links were a massive selling point for ease of reaching the beach, London, countryside and the motorways meant that we could get almost anywhere with ease.
Living on the same road as the last Zone 6 train station, meant we could walk to the station and be in the centre of London in 30 minutes (change at Orpington) 45 directly from Knockholt to Charing Cross. 
The panoramic views that you can see from the upstairs windows is beautiful. Rolling fields and visual serenity. We visited the property a few times when we were going through the purchase and on one occasion at dusk, we saw a stag and a deer silhouette which were incredible. They were just standing there! Having a son with autism, who needs to regulate and remain calm whenever possible, meant that giving him one of the upstairs rooms would definitely allow him the opportunity to maximise the view and mentally and emotionally support this regulation. 

What improvements have you made to the house?

When we purchased the house, we did not move in for 6 months. We still had 6 months left on our rental house so we made the most of it!

We completely renewed all of the windows, doors, electrics and fuse board etc as well as converting the upstairs eaves space in both bedrooms into en-suite toilets.

We also shortened the length of the downstairs toilet and put in a storage room off the small office/bedroom. Again, this gave us storage space in that room which was invaluable when we changed it from a study to a bedroom when my son was born.

Outside had been left in quite a state and initially we believed the garden to be quite small. This was until we started cutting back and removing all of the rubbish and overgrown wilderness! Finding the garden had now doubled in size (much to our surprise!) we then built a summer house. This allowed space to promote a little independence as my children grew older. They used it as a play and gaming room and an area where adults were “not allowed!’ (Teenagers!)

We then extended the kitchen out so that it provided a space where we could put a round family table so we could eat together. This also provided much needed storage space and made this room a hub of family life. 

Finally, we built a “lean too” structure at the back which served as a utility room and a “mud stop!’ For dirty wet children and dogs. We could dry them down before entering the house!

We had all bathrooms and kitchens fitted and the corner bath is actually a jacuzzi with water jets which are fun and relaxing! They make LOADS of bubbles!

What have you enjoyed about living there?

Everything! 

We love the location and have watched our family grow, thrive and make the most of everything that the house offered. My older children are now both adults and starting to spread their wings. It is time for our family home to go to another younger family who will be able to make as many memories as we have. It is really a very large space with a huge garden and the potential to enlarge and extend is a massively positive attribute. 
It served my family well in terms of location, amenities and we will be very sad to end this chapter, but are ready for a new one. 

It is a peaceful and tranquil house and whilst we are technically in “suburbia,” it has the magical ability to make you believe you are in the heart of the countryside, even though your amazingly close to London, the coast and anywhere else you want to get to.

We have lovely neighbours on both sides and we look after each other's when we’re away. I believe this makes a massive difference to being able to relax in your own space and environment as having both respect and understanding for the people around you make you feel both safe and able to ask for help if required.
