Seller Insight
Great Mount Cottage has been a much loved family home and the owners, Tony and Sheila, recall how thirty three years ago they felt it would make the ideal home and location for their family. In a private, peaceful location and with stunning grounds, the house has easy access to local rail stations, the M25 and nearby Dartford. They knew it would give them the best of town and country living.
Tony explains that when they bought the house it was a small gardener’s cottage, but they saw its huge potential, and working to the highest standards, they extended the property to create a modern, spacious, and attractive home. It took eighteen months to complete the work and they didn’t move in until it was finished. Three years ago, they installed a large, well equipped, streamlined kitchen and a log burner in the main lounge.
The conservatory is part of the extension and is where you can really appreciate the beauty of the grounds. Sheila says she loves this very restful room (truncated)
