Post Office Cottage is a Grade II listed, four-bedroom semi-detached house tucked into quiet Sheldwich Lees, offering generous family accommodation with period detail. The house dates from the 1700s and retains exposed beams, an inglenook fireplace and traditional brick elevations that give immediate historic charm.
The layout suits family life: a large fitted kitchen/dining room, two further reception rooms and four bedrooms upstairs. A substantial rear garden (mainly lawn) stretches down to open views across the North Kent Downs, and there is off-street parking to the side — a rare convenience in village cottages.
Buyers should note the listed status will affect alterations and repairs; any works require listed-building consent and can add complexity and cost. The property’s solid brick construction likely lacks modern cavity insulation and the double glazing install date is unknown, so buyers should expect potential energy-efficiency improvements and ongoing maintenance typical of older homes.
This home will suit a family seeking character, space and rural tranquillity within reach of Faversham. It offers immediate move-in potential while also presenting sensible opportunities for sympathetic updating to improve comfort and running costs.
