Seller Insight    “We decided to move during lockdown,” says the current owner of Wrotham Heath Place. “I had never enjoyed the city life and constant traffic, but we also needed to travel to work and visit family when needed, so not being too far from London with good transport links was also important. We had sold our house quickly, but were struggling to find anything that really took our liking. Whilst sitting waiting to view yet another property, I was scrolling for any new property listings, when up flashed Wrotham Heath Place. I instantly phoned the estate agents and had an impatient wait for the open day the following Saturday.”
