Offered in immaculate order throughout the property has an open plan dining/sitting room with an open fire, and a well fitted extended kitchen. The master bedroom has an en suite shower room, and there are two further bedrooms and a family bathroom. The attractive garden to the rear is sunny and secluded. There is no onward chain.
Situation
The village of Shoreham sits beside the river Darent as it winds through the North Downs, and is situated six miles north of Sevenoaks. Reputed to be the most bombed village in Britain, the famous great white cross cut in the chalk hillside is a monument to commemorate the dead of the First World War. Shoreham railway station has trains to Blackfriars and St Pancras with easy connection to Victoria. Darenth Valley golf course is located on the edge of the village. The area has been featured in the paintings of the artist Samuel Palmer, one of the famous residents of Shoreham.
