History

The name ‘Sevenoaks’ originates from the Saxon word 'Seouenaca', a name given in about 800 A.D. to a small chapel near seven oaks in Knole Park.

The town was historically part of the Great Manor of Otford, held by the Archbishops of Canterbury. In 1200, a successful market started in the town which led to Sevenoaks being made a manor it its own right.

Types of property for sale

The town is home to spacious town houses and luxury millionaire mansions, with small country estates and rural cottages in the surrounding villages.
