This Grade II listed four-bedroom semi-detached cottage in Sheldwich Lees offers a rare mix of period character and practical family space. Dating from the 1700s, the house retains exposed beams and traditional features while providing a large rear garden and off-street parking — valuable for village living and family life.
Internally the layout suits a growing family: a substantial kitchen/dining area, two reception rooms and four bedrooms across two storeys (approx 1,406 sq ft). The plot is large and mainly laid to lawn with a shed and summerhouse, backing onto countryside views across the North Kent Downs — ideal for outdoor play, gardening or simply relaxing.
Buyers should be aware of material constraints: the Grade II listing means alterations and repairs will need listed-building consent and can add time and cost. The house has a single family bathroom only, and walls are likely solid brick with little or no cavity insulation, so heating costs and retrofit works may be necessary. Double glazing is present but installation date is unknown.
Overall this is a characterful village home for buyers who value historic fabric and outdoor space and who are prepared for the responsibilities of a listed property. It will suit families wanting close-to-nature living with good broadband and low local crime, or buyers seeking refurbishment potential in a sought-after Kent village.
