Charming two-bed cottage in Boughton Monchelsea — chain-free and village-close to Maidstone.
Circa 1825 period cottage with exposed brick fireplaces
A compact, characterful cottage in Boughton Monchelsea, ideal for a first-time buyer seeking village life near Maidstone. The property dates to circa 1825 and retains period features such as exposed brick fireplaces and wood flooring, while offering modern conveniences including double glazing, gas central heating and a four-piece bathroom.
The layout is practical: a front lounge, separate dining room, modest fitted kitchen and bathroom on the ground floor, with two bedrooms and loft storage above. A small fenced front garden and a cottage-style rear garden with shed provide outdoor space without heavy maintenance. The house is offered freehold and chain-free, simplifying purchase.
Note the house is small (approx. 595 sq ft) and room sizes are compact — Bedroom Two and the kitchen suit a modest household or rental use. The property’s solid brick walls are as-built with no known insulation upgrade (assumed), so buyers prioritising high thermal efficiency should consider further insulation works to reach the EPC potential shown. Overall condition appears well cared for externally, but internal updating or redecoration may be required to match modern open-plan expectations.
