Summary - THATCH COTTAGE THE STREET HARTLIP SITTINGBOURNE ME9 7TL
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Spacious four-bedroom house with large garden and double garage on a peaceful lane.
Grade II listed thatched cottage; listing will restrict alterations
Set on a large plot in the heart of Hartlip, this Grade II listed thatched cottage blends original character with recent high-quality upgrades. The house offers four double bedrooms, an en-suite to the principal room, and generous entertaining spaces including a 23ft kitchen and a bright garden room. Practical additions — a double garage, utility room and fast broadband — suit modern family life.
The current owners have invested significantly: the roof was fully re-thatched in 2021 and a new boiler has been installed, making the home warm in winter and comfortably cool in summer. The newly renovated interior retains exposed beams, a wood burner and traditional brickwork while delivering contemporary finishes throughout. The sunny L-shaped rear garden is well maintained and provides scope for outdoor living or further landscaping.
Buyers should note the listed status: Grade II listing will restrict alterations and can complicate works and insurance. Parts of the house have low ceilings and some rooms are modest in scale, reflecting the cottage’s historic construction. Council tax is described as quite expensive, and the wider area shows signs of local deprivation. These are material points to check before committing.
Overall, this is a rare offering for families seeking a characterful village home with modern comforts and parking on a large plot. It will appeal to buyers who value historic detail but understand the ongoing responsibilities that come with a listed property.
