• Stratford is just 15 minutes away and London St Pancras only 22 minutesFor a wider array of London access, you are perfectly situated:

Historic Charm and Flexible Living
Originally known as Bronte House and built during the 1830s, this home has a fascinating past—rumoured to have hosted Lord Nelson before the Battle of Trafalgar, and later serving as the Bronte School for over a century. Today, it stands as an immaculate family residence boasting a total of six bedrooms and three bathrooms.
The accommodation is as flexible as it is beautiful:
• The lower ground floor offers the highly desirable option of a 'granny flat' or guest suite, with its own separate front door complete with a large kitchen, sitting room, one bedroom and the potential for a second one and a walk-in wet room with underfloor heating, it’s perfect for multi-generational living or rental income potential.
• A well-insulated summer cabin with power, light, and Wi-Fi makes for an ideal home office or crafting space.The stunning terraced rear garden enjoys a sunny westerly aspect, culminating in a bespoke 'gin deck' with outstanding views, ideal for entertaining.
Community, Education, and Investment in the Future
The surrounding area provides an enviable lifestyle: excellent local schools are within the catchment area, and a popular rugby and tennis club is just minutes from the property.Gravesend is an area poised for significant growth. The major development around Ebbsfleet is being heralded as the New Garden City by the River Thames, backed by a £3.9 billion investment and further boosted by the £9.2 billion new tunnel under the River Thames. This local investment brings new business parks, shopping centres, and cinemas, while the popular Bluewater Shopping Centre is less than a 15-minute drive away.
Extensive restoration, including new sash windows and a new gas central heating boiler, means this captivating home is ready to be enjoyed immediately.A truly special property combining period character, incredible space, world-class connectivity, and a community ready for the future.
