Wow, get ready to be blown away by this stunning double fronted period family house! With substantial accommodation spread across four floors, including a self-contained flat, this home is perfect for multi-generational families or anyone looking for grandeur and space. The original architrave and cornice work are simply breathtaking, and you won't want to miss the chance to view them in person.

Step inside to a large porch leading to a hall that opens up to four generously-sized reception rooms and a ground floor shower room. Reception two features a balcony with views over the extensive garden and Gravesend beyond. The large kitchen/breakfast room is divided into two distinct areas and has access down to the cellar.

Take the imposing staircase up to the first floor, where you'll find four double bedrooms. Bedrooms one and three share a Jack & Jill style bathroom with a separate shower cubicle, while bedroom two boasts its own en suite shower room. The family bathroom and an additional separate w.c. are also located on this floor.

On the top floor, there are three more double bedrooms and access to a spacious eaves storage area. There's also a useful cellar, which can be accessed from the kitchen and the rear of the house, and leads to a storeroom/workshop.

The self-contained flat includes a lounge, fitted kitchen, one double bedroom, and a shower room. It has previously been let out and could provide an extra income or serve as an ideal annexe.

The mature west-facing rear garden is approximately 150' in length and completely walled, with a variety of fruit trees, shrubs, bushes, two greenhouses, a summer house, and additional outbuildings providing extra storage. There's no need to worry about parking, as there's a horseshoe drive to the front of the property and parking for multiple vehicles along the side. Plus, there are four garages within the boundary!
