The property is surrounded by delightful gardens, featuring a swimming pool, generous pond and extensive paddock and woodland. The property is conveniently located between the amenities of both Sevenoaks and Bromley.

    • The generous reception hall with beautiful oak panelled walls and impressive oak bifurcating staircase leads to the principal reception rooms which altogether provide an excellent suite of rooms for formal and informal entertaining.
    • The three reception rooms comprise a well-proportioned drawing room enjoying a triple aspect, with double doors leading to the rear garden and an impressive oak panelled inglenook fireplace, a dining room with doors opening to the rear gardens, and a sitting room with impressive limestone fireplace. The drawing room and sitting room have striking solid oak wall panelling to some walls.

    • Rose Garden Cottage is approached via a brick pillared gated entrance over a sweeping driveway flanked by manicured shrubs, which incorporates a turning circle and offers ample parking. The detached double garage sits slightly away from the property and features a work area with sink, separate W.C. and stairs leading to a spacious first floor which could be used as a home office space.
    • To the front of the property, the focal point is the substantial pond with a central water feature, bordered by beautifully manicured lawns. There is a summer house and to the perimeter a swathe of mature trees provide privacy and seclusion.
    • The established rear garden is a real feature and provides a lovely backdrop to the property. A terrace to the rear of the property is a wonderful spot for al fresco entertaining and overlooks wide open lawns interspersed with well stocked, established beds and mature trees and leads to a circular terrace and the swimming pool, which is centrally positioned together with a pool house. Beyond the lawns there is a paddock and woodland which provides an idyllic outlook and offer a high degree of privacy and seclusion.
