The High Street of Edenbridge is just under 2-miles away allowing for convenient access to all local amenities, including a Waitrose, a post office and an enticing range of eateries. The surrounding area is encompassed by some spectacular features; a network of footpaths lead you to the beautiful surrounding countryside, while Chiddingstone and Hever Castle are nearby with a wealth of English history to delve into. Further afield but still within easy reach is the Ashdown Forest (8 miles distant), where residents can ramble around the ancient 1,000 acre woodland and sample the truly beautiful countryside that they can now call home. Famous Lingfield Park Racecourse is a similar distance - perfect for a day of decadence and adrenaline. Westerham, Oxted, Sevenoaks and Tunbridge Wells are all characterful and popular areas to frequent. Whether it is their charming traditional architecture, or their array of fetching boutiques and high street shopping, each one has their own distinct identities and unique attributes. Amongst all these idyllic landscapes, there are also rich retail pickings.

Hever is situated close to and within the catchment area for a number of nearby primary and secondary schools, from independents to academies, the closest being Chiddingstone School and Hever C of E Primary School.

The property offers many options for someone looking for a property they can make their own and wanting to live in a rural setting whilst having access to good amenities and excellent transport links into London.

To the ground floor the property has four reception rooms, open plan kitchen, cloakroom and boot room.

This property and the plot that it enjoys has so much potential; the existing property can be renovated and re-configured.
