Summary - Hillside Farm, Butchers Hill, Shorne DA12 3EB
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Spacious family home on a very large plot beside Shorne Country Park.
Victorian detached house with many original period features
Hillside Farm is a distinctive Victorian detached house set on a very large plot at the edge of Shorne, with direct access to Shorne Country Park. The house blends original period features — exposed beams, inglenook fireplace and sash-style windows — with recent sympathetic renovation, including a new eco-efficient wood burner and upgraded bathroom and kitchen areas. The south-facing conservatory and mature garden with pond create a peaceful family-focused outside space.
Internally the house offers flexible living across three floors: lounge, dining room, utility, cloakroom and kitchen on the ground floor; three bedrooms and a large family bathroom on the first floor; and a very large top-floor room currently arranged as a bedroom/workspace. Large outbuilding and shed on the plot give clear scope to create a granny annexe, studio or substantial storage — though conversion will require planning and building work.
Practical points to note: the property is freehold, has mains gas central heating, double glazing and a water softener that feeds most but not all taps. The solid-brick walls are likely uninsulated (as-built), so additional insulation work could improve running costs. Council tax is described as expensive. Overall this is a spacious, characterful family home for buyers who value period charm, generous outside space and proximity to countryside, and who are happy to manage some further upgrading and conversion work if they want to add modern insulation or annex facilities.
