Historic Charm and Flexible Living

Today, it stands as an immaculate family residence boasting a total of six bedrooms and three bathrooms.

The accommodation is as flexible as it is beautiful:

• A well-insulated summer cabin with power, light, and Wi-Fi makes for an ideal home office or crafting space.
The stunning terraced rear garden enjoys a sunny westerly aspect, culminating in a bespoke 'gin deck' with outstanding views, ideal for entertaining.

Community, Education, and Investment in the Future

The surrounding area provides an enviable lifestyle: Excellent local schools are within the catchment area, and a popular rugby and tennis club is just minutes from the property.
Gravesend is an area poised for significant growth.
