Enjoying a coveted setting in the heart of highly desirable Shoreham is this grand Victorian detached property, which benefits from a wonderful garden and off-street parking. The pre-1900s home was originally a village shop, with the shopfront removed to create the parking area to the front – a highly sought-after commodity in this charming village. The house is full of character features, including coving, wood doors and original fireplaces, has large windows and high ceilings throughout. There are lovely views over the village to the front, and over the expansive rear garden towards Shoreham Memorial Cross on the hill to the rear.
The well-presented accommodation offers fantastic scope for personalisation feeling spacious and bright. On the ground floor, the central hallway leads to a study, sitting room, dining room, kitchen and utility room, plus a cloakroom with WC and a useful cellar for storage on the lower level. Upstairs there are three good-size double bedrooms, a family bathroom and a further separate WC.
Outside
The house is situated directly on the pretty High Street, with off-street parking to the front on a private driveway. The rear garden is a real asset: facing west, it is very large, has a good size paved terrace and a level lawn, which leads up to a greenhouse, vegetable plot and a further seating area. The garden also benefits from a wood store, workshop with power and light, and a storage shed.
Situation
The popular village of Shoreham nestles beside the river Darent, which winds through the North Downs providing a wide choice of footpaths and bridleways including the Darent Valley Path. The village benefits from a number of amenities including a local store, golf club, primary school and a selection of well-regarded pubs. Further amenities can be found in nearby Sevenoaks (approx. 5.3 miles) where there are shops, restaurants and a wealth of educational facilities. Shoreham station and nearby Otford have rail links to London Victoria/Blackfriars, whilst Sevenoaks has fast and frequent commuter services to Charing Cross and Cannon Street.
