Named as one of the best places to live in the UK in 2025 , Sevenoaks continues to see high demand for homes, thanks to its vibrant mix of independent shops, thriving community, and commuter connections. Less than five miles away in the neighbouring sought-after village of Halstead, Annington is launching an exclusive collection 11 of fully refurbished homes to let, known as ‘The Oaks’.
Tucked away in a leafy, private cul-de-sac, the spacious homes have been thoughtfully refreshed to integrate modern living with comfort and practicality. Each of the detached homes offers four well-proportioned bedrooms, providing plenty of space for families or guests. The newly installed kitchen comes with integrated appliances and generous built-in storage, with a separate utility room with stable doors, opening directly onto the private gardens.
As part of the refurbishment, Annington has also improved the efficiency of the homes with air source heat pumps, helping contribute to lower energy bills for future tenants. The homes feature extra space for a dedicated home office or playroom, as well as a garage and EV charging point.
Set amongst a woodland of established oak, ash and chestnut trees, the pet-friendly homes benefit from peaceful and serene surroundings, perfect for countryside dog walks, while still offering fast connections to Maidstone and London. Rich with history, the homes form part of the wider transformation of Fort Halstead, the research site of the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl).
Those interested in renting a home at The Oaks now have the opportunity to visit the show home on Crow Drive by appointment only on Saturday 22nd November, to see the space and specification of the homes available.
Stacy Whitehead, Marketing Manager at Annington, said: “This is a highly desirable area thanks to its close proximity to Seven Oaks and we are proud to be bringing this exclusive collection of homes to the rental market. Set across a generous footprint, we have refurbished these homes with families looking for long term rental homes in mind. Halstead offers an enviable blend of village charm, excellent schools, convenient transport links and lively local amenities, making it an exceptional choice to call home.”
Mark Barnes, Associate Director at Hamptons Sevenoaks, adds: “Sevenoaks is a sought-after location which offers fantastic commutes to London and whilst we continue to see tenants operating with hybrid working, the surrounding villages and outskirts of Sevenoaks have become ever more popular.
“The Oaks is a unique offering coming to the market which we expect to be extremely popular and we’ve already received lots of interest, particularly due to the lack of four-bed rental homes in the area. The homes available at The Oaks will meet this strong demand, so I would encourage prospective residents, to reach out and set up an appointment as soon as possible.”
Located in the green belt village and civil parish of the Sevenoaks District of Kent, Halstead is set amongst peaceful countryside. Nestled between London and the M25, the homes also benefit from strong transport links, with Knockholt Railway Station just minutes away, offering direct Southeastern services to London Charing Cross in under an hour.
Prices for Annington’s The Oaks start at £2,950 per calendar month for a four-bedroom home.
