Malthouse Lane, Shorne, Kent, DA12

When the current owner was looking for her next house nearly 30 years ago she found what she was looking for in a late 19th century cottage, within a conservation area in a peaceful location in a much sought after village.

The cottage had been bought by a developer, but the current resident purchased the property from him in order that she could remodel the interior to accommodate her lifestyle within the shell of the old building.

The cottage is most unusual in that it is curved, built of flint and brick, with Kentish cob roof tiles. The entrance is into a large, welcoming hall from which a staircase leads to the first floor, it has oak flooring. Off the hall to the right, is a spacious living room, with a feature fireplace. To the left is the dining room, again with oak flooring, which opens onto the double aspect, well appointed kitchen with Fired Earth floor and fitted units with granite work tops. Beyond the kitchen is a practical utility room/gum bootery, with a 'stable' door opening into the rear garden.

A versatile office and a cloakroom/wc lead off the utility room.

A separate shower room complete the ground floor accommodation.

The hall stairway leads to a landing where the curve of the house is most apparent. Three double bedrooms and the family bathroom lead off the landing. The main bedroom is serviced by a large walk-in wardrobe/dressing room.

The courtyard in front of the property is enclosed by flit wall and unique bay hedges with parking for several cars.

The rear garden has been carefully thought through with prairie style planting and gravel flower beds. The main large patio area is made from natural York paving stones and is ideal for entertaining.

Beneath the house is an useful, dry cellar, housing the gas boiler.
