Outbuildings comprise a versatile timber summerhouse with power and light connected, currently used as a home office, together with an attractive stone outhouse currently used for garden storage.
The current owners were granted planning permission in July 2023 (now lapsed) for a two storey extension which would create a reception room in place of the conservatory and a third bedroom. Enquiries can be made to Sevenoaks District Council.
