Lovingly maintained by its current owner since new, this home exudes warmth and care throughout. Every corner reflects the attention and pride with which it has been kept. Originally constructed between 1862 and 1866 in a distinguished Victorian style, the building was sensitively converted in the early 2010s into a collection of luxurious apartments and maisonettes, preserving its historical features while offering a truly modern standard of living.

The Residence is situated in Stone, a desirable area on the outskirts of Dartford that combines peaceful surroundings with excellent transport links. Stone Crossing Station is approximately 0.9 miles away, offering regular Southeastern services to London Bridge, Charing Cross, and Cannon Street, while Dartford Station, just over a mile from the property, provides additional frequent connections into central London and beyond.

The nearby A2 and A226 provide direct routes towards both London and the Kent coast, while the M25 motorway and Dartford Crossing — just a short drive away — offer swift access across the Thames into Essex and to major destinations throughout the South East. The Dartford Crossing forms an essential part of the region’s transport network, linking Kent and Essex via bridge and tunnel, and placing London and its airports within easy reach.

Locally, Stone and Dartford offer a wealth of amenities, from village pubs and local shops to the extensive retail and leisure facilities at nearby Bluewater. The surrounding area features open green spaces, historic architecture, and a strong community atmosphere, making it a particularly attractive setting for those seeking both charm and convenience.
