Description
This 1960’s built detached 4 bedroom 'Billings' built detached family house is located towards the end of this popular cul-de-sac located within the sought-after village of Shorne. These properties are renowned for their spacious and well-proportioned accommodation, however, this property has excellent potential to extend subject to planning permission. As you enter the property there is a generous hallway, you will find a cloakroom WC, three versatile reception rooms currently in the form of a sitting room, dining room and study / family room. There is also a kitchen/breakfast room with adjoining utility room, this leads to a side porch giving access to one of the two garages. On the first floor are four good size bedrooms and family bathroom.
To the rear is a mature garden which has the novelty of a natural stream on its right hand boundary. The garden gives access to the second 25’ tandem length garage. To the front is a central garden area with two driveways either side leading to the garages. Available to the market for the first time since 1972 and offering vacant possession, this home is now looking for a new owner that will refresh and modernise its interior and is sure to suit an array of buyers, including those looking to pursue its potential to extend, growing families or those from London looking for an ‘escape to the country’ and a 'get away from it all' experience and yet is still conveniently located for road and rail links into central London. Shorne has a typical Kent village feel with its historic church, friendly local shops and, of course, the charming characterful pubs ideal for a quiet pint or a bite eat. But not many villages boast their own country park. Shorne with its locality to the A2/M2 enjoys easy access to Ebbsfleet International rail station and Bluewater Shopping Centre and the motorway network for journeys to London, M25 or the Kent coast.
Location
Shorne is a picturesque village offering local shops, public houses, church, pre school and primary school. Adjacent to Shorne village there is Shorne Wood Country Park, an area of outstanding natural beauty designated a site of special scientific interest for its wildlife value. The village is within easy reach of Gravesend and Medway towns providing further excellent schooling. Convenient access to the M2 and M25 motorways linking to both Gatwick and Heathrow airports, London, Bluewater and the International railway station at Ebbsfleet offering a 17 minute link to London and the Channel Ports. The commuter is well served by a coach service running from the area to London, together with main line railway station at Sole Street and Higham on the Victoria and Cannon Street line respectively.
