St. Katherine's is a handsome Grade II country house within the village of Shorne and enjoys the privacy of extensive and beautiful gardens and grounds, with tennis court, and striking views over the Thames Estuary.

The property has recently been refurbished and updated throughout and exudes style and decadence whilst still retaining its sense of practicality and purpose. The property is principally arranged over 2 floors and extends to 4,628 sq ft and offers spacious, well-proportioned accommodation with high ceilings and an abundance of natural light, ideal for modern day living.

A turning circle arrives at the front of the house, with a front door opening to a large reception hall which provides access to the principal reception rooms. The triple aspect dining room and sitting room with bar area are of particular note and provide an ideal space for entertaining . Adjoining this the kitchen/breakfast room is beautifully appointed and opens to a conservatory which enjoys views to the north over the Thames and provides access to the principal gardens and grounds. The office provides the perfect space in which to work and benefits from extensive shelving and views to the front. There is also access to a wine store with ample storage space. The well-appointed second kitchen and guest bathroom completes the accommodation on the ground floor.

On the first floor the principal bedroom enjoys far reaching views to the north and east, overlooking the Thames, and benefits from fitted wardrobes, along with a lounge/sitting area and generous en-suite bathroom. There is also access to a separate w.c along with stairs to the ground floor. The second bedroom with access to the family bathroom is presently being used as a walk in wardrobe and dressing room with bespoke open wardrobes, shelving and drawers along with a central fireplace. There are three further bedrooms, two of which have fitted wardrobes, and all served by a spacious family bathroom. There is also a further room which is currently being used as a gym. From the first floor landing stairs lead to the tower which is arranged over two floors, one providing storage and the top floor which is presently used as a media room. Both levels enjoy extensive views to the east and west.

The property is approached via electric gates leading to a large turning circle to the east and front of the property, surrounded by manicured lawns and evergreen hedging. There is a garage positioned immediately to the southern end of the house, and the property roundabout offers space for additional parking. The principal gardens are positioned to the north and west of the house, with a tennis court discreetly positioned behind mature hedges. The gardens also feature a hot tub, and are principally laid to lawn and bound by several mature trees providing a high degree of privacy. Substantial herbaceous borders have been planted, together with trees, shrubs and hedges. There are several paths and steps providing access to the gardens from a large York stone terrace. The gardens are a lovely feature of the property and together with the views over the Thames provide a delightful feeling of space, ideal for entertaining and relaxing. In all the gardens and grounds extend to approximately 1.2 acres.
