Sevenoaks bungalow in sought-after AONB location heads to auction with £650,000 guide

A three-bedroom bungalow in one of Sevenoaks’ most sought-after residential areas is due to go under the hammer this month, with a guide price of £625,000–£650,000.

Long Spring Cottage, on Gracious Lane, will feature in an upcoming live stream auction held by BTG Eddisons Property Auctions on 30 April.

The single-storey property is located on the town’s favoured south side, within the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and sits on a plot of over a third of an acre, overlooking open countryside.

The 1,200 sq ft bungalow includes three bedrooms, two bathrooms and auctioneers say it has scope for improvement.

Gracious Lane is known for its numerous high-value properties and is close to well-known local landmarks and visitor attractions, including Knole Park and the National Trust-owned Emmetts Garden.

The property lies less than two miles from Sevenoaks town centre and around 2.5 miles from the mainline station, from which there are frequent 30-minute fast trains to central London.

Richard Worrall, auctions consultant at BTG Eddisons Property Auctions, said: “Properties in this part of Sevenoaks don’t come up for auction all that often, particularly on the leafy south side of the town.

“Long Spring Cottage really is in a fabulous location, both in terms of its setting and its access into London, and there is definitely potential for a buyer to update the property.

“With guide prices in the area typically much higher than the £625,000-£650,000 on this property, we expect interest from buyers looking at the longer-term value.”

Well-established commuter town Sevenoaks is known for its schools, amenities and access to surrounding countryside, as well as its transport links into London.

BTG Eddisons Property Auctions is a national auction business formed by uniting the regional brands Pugh, SDL Property Auctions, Mark Jenkinson and Network Auctions. It now hosts a three-day national auction event every month.
