This semi-detached house is located in SEVENOAKS, TN15 6QG. The property offers 197mยฒ (2121 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 7 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. The property has an EPC rating of E (53/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements.
