Seller Insight When we first saw Neverland, we were amazed by its potential,” say the current owners. “Though it was in need of a lot of TLC and plenty of imagination, the house was the perfect opportunity to create a gorgeous family home in a wonderful location. Since then, the house has undergone a complete renovation including the removal of an existing conservatory and replacement of the roof on the back extension. Everything in the house has been done to include plumbing and wiring. The only thing that is original are the walls and windows, the interior layout having been reconfigured to make the most of the space and create an easy flow between the rooms.” This is the ideal home for everyday family life and entertaining alike. “Our favourite room in the house day to day is the study,” say the owners, “a gorgeously cosy room at the front of the house that overlooks the fields. We also love the master bathroom with its freestanding bath providing the perfect piece of relaxation. The house is wonderfully peaceful, but also very sociable – with the vast amount of living space, we have been able to have fantastic family barbecues, host Christmas for the whole family of twenty-two, and celebrate our engagement here. Many bottles of champagne and wine have been drunk here and the house and garden are full of fabulous memories.” Outside, the garden provides an extension of the indoor living accommodation. “The garden enjoys sun from dawn until dusk,” say the owners, “with uninterrupted views of the fields behind us. It’s picture perfect, and a real blank canvas for the next proud owner! Beyond the boundaries of the property, there are numerous gorgeous walks nearby: you can walk through the ancient Crabbles Bottom Orchard down the road, or right from the house to Cobham Woods and Shorne Country Park if you fancy it!” The location of the property is not only beautiful, but convenient too. “Gads Hill school is just up the road, at the other end of the country lane on which the house sits, with various other schools also nearby,” say the owners. “For shopping, Higham and Strood are both a 5 minute drive away, both with train stations, and Bluewater is 12 minutes from the house. For travel further afield, Ebbsfleet International is just 15 minutes away by car.”*
