Bitchet Green is a small rural hamlet on the outskirts of Sevenoaks in Kent, England, tucked close to the rolling slopes of the North Downs. It retains a village-green feel with a scattered cluster of cottages and farm buildings, and is surrounded by hedged fields and pockets of ancient woodland popular with walkers.
Historically agricultural, the area has gradually become attractive to commuters because of its easy road and rail links into central London via nearby Sevenoaks town, while still offering close access to country attractions such as Knole Park. Local life tends to revolve around neighbouring villages and the market town for shops and services, and the hamlet’s quiet character and nearby footpaths make it typical of Kentish downland settlements.
