To the first floor in the main house are four bedrooms, ensuite bathroom to the main bedroom and family shower room. The rear south westerly orientated garden is generously proportioned but is a manageable size with patio and lawn area and mature boundaries. Within the garden is a 30’ garden / studio room, this structure is a real bonus with versatility to be used for multiple purposes including a home office, gym and potentially could be an annex.

This vacant possession home is looking for a new custodian that will now modernise and refresh its interior and with its versatile accommodation it is sure to suit an array of buyers, including growing families or those from London looking for an ‘escape to Kent’ and a 'get away from it all' experience. This family home that you can make your own is located in the popular Kentish village of Otford and benefits from many local amenities including Otford main line station.
Location
Otford Village is an attractive 16th century village approximately 3.7 miles from Sevenoaks town centre. The village has a variety of small shops, historic houses, several pubs and a restaurant, a 16th century church, a library, the village primary school and nursery, a recreation ground and playground for small children as well as two halls which host events and club meetings. There are two private prep schools in the area: St Michael's school which takes children from age 2 to 13, and Russell House School. At the centre of the village is a very picturesque spring-filled pond which is the location of the smallest listed duck pond in England. The attractive village green is surrounded by historic buildings including Chantry Cottage and St Bartholomew's Church. Otford has a mainline rail service with frequent services to Victoria, Blackfriars, London Bridge and Charing Cross, in addition to Ashford International. Sevenoaks mainline station is approximately 3 miles away and (truncated)
Directions
From our Otford office at the duck pond, take the 1st exit at the roundabout to Station Road/A225. As the road takes a sharp left turn take the right hand turning onto Pilgrims Way East. Pass Row Dow Lane and St Michaels Drive on your left and the property is a little further along on the right-hand side.
Seller Insight
Located on the historic Pilgrims Way, our comfortable four-bedroom detached home sits between the Kent villages of Otford and Kemsing. Surrounded by beautiful countryside yet within easy commuting distance of London, the house includes a spacious garden and a large detached annex, currently serving as a study and creative studio. We’ve lived here for over 40 years and have seen how similar properties nearby have been sympathetically extended, so there is real potential for the house to evolve with its next owners. Excellent transport links via Otford and Sevenoaks stations, along with nearby motorway access, make it perfectly placed for both work and leisure.
.
When we first moved in, our children were teenagers, and we were drawn by the combination of rural charm and city accessibility. Local schools have served families well, including St Michael’s and Russell House in Otford and the nearby primary in Kemsing. A footpath near the house leads through woodlands to Otford station, passing the atmospheric ruins of the Archbishop of Canterbury’s palace. Though the property falls within Otford, we’ve long felt a part of the Kemsing community, worshipping at St Mary’s Church and being actively involved in parish life and the wider diocese of Rochester.
.
The house, built in the 1930s, retains several original features. We restored the original four-bedroom layout after purchasing it from a family who had adapted it to five bedrooms. The annex, affectionately known as “The Barn,” has been a versatile space for study, writing, painting, and reflection. Our garden, carefully nurtured over the years, boasts David Austin roses, mature trees, a pond, and herbaceous borders. With St Michael’s fields and woodlands opposite and the North Downs behind, the setting offers wonderful views and regular visits from local wildlife.
.
Life here has been enriched by kind and supportive neighbours, and the home has welcomed many village groups over the years. The main sitting room has hosted meetings, discussions, language lessons, and many moments of hospitality. The Barn, too, has witnessed a great deal of joyful activity, from academic writing to painting. One especially memorable occasion was our diamond wedding anniversary, celebrated in the garden with a marquee, live music, and many dear friends and family.
.
Though we will deeply miss the house, the time has come to downsize and be closer to family. We remain nearby and look forward to staying in touch with our beloved community. This has been a home full of warmth, creativity, and love, and we hope the next owners will find the same happiness here that we have enjoyed over four rich and fulfilling decades.
