Detached house for sale in Sheerness ME12, 4 Bedroom

The picturesque Isle of Sheppey lies in the Thames Estuary, some forty-six miles from central London. Dubbed Kent’s Treasure Island it has a wonderfully varied landscape that includes vast swathes of flat marshland, beautiful beaches and a verdant patchwork of rolling farmland. Tucked away on its north coast, just a couple of miles from the bustling town of Sheerness, is the much sought after village of Minster-on-Sea, which as well as a Blue Flag award-winning beach also boasts a number of cosy pubs and a peppering of small shops and restaurants.Hillside is an exceptional family home that enjoys a superb elevated position just a short walk from both the beach and the centre of the village. The house was originally built in the early 20th century and is therefore one of the oldest properties in the area, however in recent years it has been extensively remodelled and refurbished throughout. “We’ve lived on the island for a number of years and we’d always admired this house, ” says the owner. “The building itself is lovely and it sits in just under an acre of beautiful grounds – a plot that’s unusually big for this part of the village – but it’s the location that really sets it apart. It’s tucked well away from the road and because it sits on a hill the views are just incredible. It’s a very peaceful spot and feels far removed from the hustle and bustle, however all of the shops and amenities of the village are just a stroll away and it’s only ten minutes into town so we’ve been able to benefit from the best of both worlds.”The owners have spent a tremendous amount of both time and money transforming this handsome Victorian house into a large and exceptionally stylish home. The layout has been altered to make it much more conducive to both modern family life and entertaining, and the interior design is fashionably elegant and sophisticated throughout. “We wanted to create a very luxurious modern home but at the same time retain some sense of the building’s history
