Seller Insight
Nakatsu, with its attractive neo Georgian façade and spacious, elegant and comfortable interior, is a stunning property. The present owner immediately knew it would make an excellent family home: and it also enjoyed a quiet, secluded position in a small close of four houses, but within walking distance to Shorne village centre. The owner says the house has given the family a very happy thirty years.
.
During that time, a conservatory has been added, the walls insulated to ensure winter warmth, and the windows have been replaced and double glazed. Nakatsu has been a home where the family have used and enjoyed every room, from the well equipped kitchen to the huge room on the third floor, where the owner says they held a dinner party for thirty people. It was a great success but carrying everything up from the kitchen was very tiring. This amazing room is a great adaptable space which has had many uses.
.
For more conventional entertaining the dining room will seat up to twelve people and has been the setting for many chatty meals. The family and guests have relaxed in the generous lounge which is a glorious sunny summer room and a warm winter refuge. It looks onto the conservatory where you can sit with a morning coffee and admire the pretty garden scene before you. Nakatsu is a home that is perhaps at its best when full of people.
.
The walled, private garden is a green and striking outside space. The lawn has a soft green of mature trees and shrub and is an outside entertaining area. A family member was married from the house when guests could wander happily from house to garden. There are many places to sit and simply relish the peace and beauty of the garden.
.
Shorne is a community minded village with a primary school, and a selection of clubs, and societies centred at the village hall; whilst Shorne Woods Country Park provides many walks and is a great place to spend a day. Gravesend, with its shops and sporting facilities and train station, is only three miles away. The owner says she will miss the house which has given such a lovely lifestyle but the time has come to downsize. She knows the new owners will come to love it in the same way.
