There are also two three bedroom maisonettes known as 140a and 142a which are dated internally and require modernisation/refurbishment.

There are a number of well-regarded schools within Sevenoaks offering both primary and secondary education. Sevenoaks is a predominantly residential area focussed around the main High Street, although is also popular among commercial occupiers given its good connectivity by both road and rail.

To the rear of the Property is a new build development which completed in 2019 and comprises 4 x mews houses with undercroft parking beneath.
