House For Sale £635,000
Occupying a charming setting in the desirable village of Shoreham is this delightful Grade ii-listed cottage built in the 17th century. The cottage has a central position on the High Street with excellent access to the thriving village’s excellent amenities. The property forms the end of a short terrace of similar character cottages, each with defining period features such as a half-hipped tiled roof, pretty projecting porches and attractive windows. Internally there are further character features including a large inglenook fireplace equipped with a Jotul wood burning stove, exposed timber beams and wood floors. Though ample character remains, the cottage has been sympathetically extended and modernised to a high standard with a quality finish throughout.
The accommodation is approximately 1307 sq ft, including a newer extension to the rear which offers excellent natural light with its striking double glazed roof. On the ground floor, the cottage is entered onto the sitting room, which leads through to an additional reception room, kitchen and a dining/ garden room with French doors opening to the garden. There is good storage in the form of a number of fitted cupboards. On the first floor there are two good size double bedrooms and a contemporary bath/shower room, with a further loft room situated on the second floor.

The house is set back behind a pretty front garden enclosed by iron railings, with a variety of shrubs and perennial planting providing seasonal interest. A brick-tiled path leads to the front door. A gated side alley leads to a charming cottage rear garden which benefits from full sun throughout the day. The garden includes a paved patio area and a central lawn boarded by colourful shrubs and delightful perennial planting. There are two wooden sheds at the rear boundary. There are lovely views over the surrounding countryside. On-street parking is available outside the house.
Situation
The popular village of Shoreham is located in an area of outstanding beauty and nestles beside the river Darent, which winds through the North Downs providing a wide choice of footpaths and bridleways including the Darent Valley Path.
