Seller Insight
When we first bought this property, it was a charming three-bedroom bungalow,” say the current owners of Cumloden on the desirable Pear Tree Lane. “Inspired by our neighbour’s extension, we always planned to create a larger home, perfect for our growing family. Now, with six bedrooms, this spacious house has been the ideal setting for family life, offering plenty of room for everyone.”
“The open-plan kitchen and living area is the heart of the home—a welcoming space to cook, unwind, or enjoy peaceful evenings once the children are in bed,” the owners continue. “The cosy lounge provides the perfect retreat, while the large, airy rooms make it ideal for entertaining. Whether hosting family gatherings or big celebrations, this home comfortably accommodates guests with ease. Outside, the generous garden is a real highlight. With a stylish outhouse and bar, plus a well-sized patio, it’s perfect for summer parties and socialising. We will truly miss the space, the modern design, and how low-maintenance the home is.”
The location of the property has much to offer too, combining rural tranquility and a friendly village community with modern convenience and easy access to amenities.
“Cumloden sits on the sought-after Pear Tree Lane, nestled in the charming village of Shorne,” say the owners. “The village offers fantastic local amenities, schools, and scenic walking trails, perfect for families and nature lovers alike. We are close to Shorne Woods Country Park, a Designated Area of Natural Beauty; yet with excellent transport links, including Higham Station just minutes away and direct access from a quiet country lane onto the A2 within 2 minutes, commuting to London is effortless. We really do have the best of both worlds here.”*
