Location
Sevenoaks is named after seven oak trees that were planted in Knowle Park on the edge of town in the Middle Ages. One of Britain's most impressive stately homes is in the heart of Sevenoaks: the vast, enchanting National Trust property of Knole, a former Archbishop of Canterbury’s palace. Dating from the 1450s and famously sporting 365 rooms, 52 staircases and seven courtyards, here you'll wander through exquisite galleries, past shimmering silver, atmospheric portraits and fine fabrics. Then head through the sunlit orangery and into a 1000-acre park dotted with gnarled trees and herds of deer. Sevenoaks has everything from busy markets to pretty streets to discover. There are restaurants, shops, pubs, a leisure centre and other places to visit in Sevenoaks, plus green spaces for getting outdoors and enjoying nature.

We also decided to landscape front and back to make use of the sun trap, and to provide our kids a flat space for kicking a ball (and for us to BBQ). This house is a great place for entertaining and has four carparking spaces too. The garage now homes an office for us to separate work/home time, and a good sized storage space for bikes, a freezer and gardening kit (plus a lot more). The surrounding area is beautiful, with walks from the door over to the Wildfowl Reserve, and lots of play parks for the kids. The schools are brilliant here too, with Riverhead, Amherst and Trinity well in the (truncated)
