2 bed detached house for sale

Comp Lane, Platt, Sevenoaks, Kent TN15

Originally built by Francis Heron-Maxwell alongside her country house of Great Comp Garden the pavilion hosted the visiting Australian ladies cricket team in 1917. More recently the property has become a wonderfully special home set in surrounding woodland and gardens and alongside the country house of Great Comp.

The property sits facing east towards the original siting of the cricket "oval" of Great Comp. Now surrounded by trees and plantings the house benefits from large volumes and a wonderful central sitting/dining room which opens out onto the sun room and then into the garden. Entrance to the house comes through a hallway on the north side of the house whilst a large kitchen/breakfast room and utility room (with guest WC) then lead towards the central living area. A snug is also found on the southerly side of the house whilst two bedrooms and a bathroom complete the ensemble alongside a secondary entrance. There then sits a large loft room, running the footprint of the property, above the living space and, subject to the appropriate approvals, would give great flexibility for anyone looking to develop the house.

The property also benefits from further excellent space above the double garage and store room where an independent store room is found, perfect for an office or children's playroom.

The house sits in approximately 1.1 acres of gardens and grounds and sits privately on the west side of Great Comp Gardens. Ample parking is provided on the north side of the house.

The house is located on the edge of St. Mary's Platt and within easy reach of Borough Green with its station (50 minutes to Victoria), shops and amenities. Comprehensive shopping and further transport links are provided from nearby Sevenoaks (7 miles and with its mainline station to London Bridge and Charing Cross), Tonbridge and Maidstone. The area provides a wide range of excellent schools including primary schools in St. Marys Platt and Borough Green to the Grammar and private preparatory and secondary schools in Sevenoaks, Tonbridge and Maidstone (including Sevenoaks School, Tonbridge School, Maidstone Grammar School, The Judd School, The New Beacon, Sevenoaks Prep, St. Michaels Prep School and Walthamstow Hall) whilst there is a wide range of leisure facilities and sports clubs within a close range of the house. Nearby access to the M20 then gives great links to the M25 and the airports at Gatwick and Heathrow together with London and the wider UK motorway network.
