User 0:This detached four-bedroom home in the heart of a vibrant community holds a unique place in history as the former residence of the esteemed English geologist, John Milne, a pioneer in the field of Seismology. Born in 1850, Milne lived in the house from 1895 until his death in 1913, during which time he made groundbreaking contributions to the study of earthquakes. The property, once known as 'Shide Hill House,' is steeped in scientific heritage, having been situated near a Pan Chalk pit that allowed Milne to conduct his influential research. The house itself boasts a spacious layout, ample living space, and a beautiful garden, and is now offered to the market without the complications of an onward chain, providing a rare opportunity for history enthusiasts and families alike to become the stewards of a significant piece of scientific history.
