The Property The Grange is a wonderful Grade II* listed country house enjoying a secluded setting on the edge of a much coveted village east of Sevenoaks and with extensive views over the surrounding countryside. The Grange was built, we understand, in 1702 on the site of an Elizabethan house and further additions to the house and landscaping to the gardens were undertaken by Sir Edwin Lutyens in The house features in Sir Nickolas Pevsner s book, Buildings of England, where its very attractive Queen Anne front elevation is described as an eccentric early 18th century front. The Grange works extremely well as both a family and entertaining house with fine reception rooms and extensive bedroom accommodation arranged over three floors. There are delightful period features throughout including an elegant galleried reception hall, early chimney pieces and some delightful panelling and the principal reception rooms have a wonderful outlook. The reception rooms are complemented by a superb kitchen/breakfast room which leads to the games room. The bedroom accommodation is extensive with an excellent master bedroom suite being joined by a guest bedroom suite, four further bedrooms and two bathrooms on the first floor with a further three bedrooms and a cinema on the second floor. In addition there is a self-contained annexe with sitting room, kitchen, bathroom and two bedrooms which provides ideal staff or guest accommodation.

7 Annexe Gardens and Grounds The gardens and grounds are a particular feature of The Grange and provide a wonderful setting for the house with beautiful soft and hard landscaping. The gardens have been well designed and maintained with a selection of fine specimen shrubs and trees in a blend of formal and informal gardens and include a swimming pool and a tennis court. In addition there is a stable yard with three loose boxes, a tack room and significant outbuildings as well as an all-weather ménage. There are three large paddocks and a belt of attractive woodland. To the north of the house on the other side of the lane is an area of pasture land extending to circa 25 acres, currently divided into two fields. The house is approached by a gravel drive with a spur continuing onto the stable block. Adjacent to the drive is a wonderful 18th century barn built of brick and Kentish Ragstone.
