Property description
A stylishly upgraded and extended three bedroom cottage in a peaceful setting at the heart of the historic village of Shoreham.
Modernised throughout with flair and originality, the interior of the cottage has an open plan ground floor and has been redesigned by the present vendors to accommodate for modern day living. A HDMI component cable has been laid under the new oak flooring for video and audio hook ups reducing the need for multiple cables. The hand made solid wood Rencraft kitchen was recently installed and the original staircase removed and a bespoke staircase designed and fitted to allow for additional space and the addition of the cloakroom. On the first floor there is a galleried landing, three bedrooms and a spacious modern family bathroom.
The garden to the rear has a patio with shallow steps to the timber office building which has light and power and broadband connection. The remainder of the garden is laid to lawn with mature shrubs and uninterrupted views up to the Shoreham Cross and views to the front across Shoreham
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.
