The Cottage Location

The cottage is within the picturesque Darent Valley on Castle Farm, known for its lavender fields. This is a working farm with normal daily and seasonal agricultural activity in the yards and fields. The well-supported farm shop, The Hop Shop is nearby and during July a large number of visitors come to experience and enjoy the fields of purple lavender.

The property is less than two miles from both Eynsford and Shoreham villages, each having well regarded primary schools, as well as a selection of shops and pubs. Sevenoaks town centre is 6 miles away making this a much sought after as a residential area due to its attractive rural character combined with excellent transport connections.

Regular train services into south London mainline stations can be accessed from a number of local stations, all within easy reach of Castle Farm, including Chelsfield, Orpington, Otford, Eynsford and Shoreham. M25 (J4) is conveniently located only 2 miles distant.

A varied network of footpaths provides the opportunity for many fine local walks, including the Darent Valley Path and North Downs Way. Lullingstone Park is only a short distance from the cottage.
