Seller Insight    “We’d been looking for something with character and space when we came across Landfall, and the views simply took our breath away,” say the owners of this stylish home. “It’s elevated, with far-reaching countryside views, and yet it’s part of a small, welcoming community – the best of both worlds.” Originally a 1930s – 40s bungalow, the property was extended in the 1990s to create a spacious four-bedroom chalet-style home over two floors. “The light and layout were what really sold it to us,” the owners recall. “Large windows run across the front of the house, so you always get a view, and the flow between rooms makes it easy to live in and perfect for entertaining.” Since moving in ten years ago, the couple have modernised throughout. “We’ve added new bathrooms, landscaped the garden, and created a gym space above the detached double garage,” they explain. “We also converted one of the rooms into a cinema room, which has become a favourite with friends. The whole house now feels modern, bright and practical.” .    The garden is another highlight. “We’ve transformed it into a space that’s easy to maintain and full of options,” they say. “Sliding doors open to a flat lawn at the back, and the kitchen leads straight out to the BBQ and entertainment area. There’s always a sunny or shaded spot – even in winter, the light floods in and warms the house.” A balcony area, outdoor seating made from old tree trunks, and curtilage land with trees add further appeal. Space for entertaining is generous inside and out. “We’ve had gatherings spill seamlessly from the living spaces into the garden, and it never feels crowded,” the owners note. “There’s parking for ten cars, ideal for visitors.” The position, at the start of a private lane of just five houses, offers both privacy and community. “It feels like we stand alone, with no one overlooking, but there’s also a nice village spirit,” they say. Shorne itself is highly desirable, with two pubs, a café-bakery, shop and hair salon all within walking distance, plus Gravesend and Strood nearby for wider amenities. Testament to the area, the family are staying local, “If we didn’t need more space we simply wouldn’t be moving from this wonderful house and location.” “We’ll miss the views as they’re hard to beat,” the owners admit. “Everything is ready for the next family to simply move in and enjoy life here.” Entrance Hall 9'10 (3m) x 7'5 (2.26m) and 9'9 (2.97m) x 7'5 (2.26m).
