Summary - TICKHAM COTTAGE TICKHAM LANE LYNSTED SITTINGBOURNE ME9 0HS
5 bed 5 bath Detached
Large Grade II listed family home with annexe and almost an acre of gardens.
Grade II listed 16th-century thatched cottage, extensive period features
Tickham Cottage is a substantial Grade II listed 16th-century thatched cottage set in about 0.8 acres of landscaped gardens, orchard and vegetable plots on the edge of Lynsted. The house combines original features — inglenook fireplaces, mullioned windows and exposed beams — with a high-spec, hand-made kitchen (granite worktops and marble island), luxury bathrooms and extensive entertaining spaces including a large oak‑framed summerhouse with fireplace.
Accommodation in the main house includes generous reception rooms, a bespoke kitchen with underfloor heating and bi-fold doors to the garden, and four well-appointed bedrooms with multiple en suites. A self-contained one-bedroom annexe offers open-plan living, a double bedroom and bathroom — useful for guests or multi-generational living. Outbuildings include a large double garage, three-storey garage potential, vast basement storage/panic room, and a high-quality treehouse and summerhouse for recreation.
Practical points to note: the property is Grade II listed which will restrict alterations and can complicate maintenance; construction is historic solid brick with assumed no cavity insulation; broadband speeds are very slow in this location. The home is newly renovated and offers modern comforts but retains traditional heating (anthracite-fired boiler and radiators) and some higher running costs (council tax banding noted as expensive).
This home suits buyers seeking a distinctive rural family home with strong entertaining and guest accommodation, extensive outdoor space, and characterful period detail. It will appeal to those comfortable with listed‑building ownership and rural utilities trade-offs, and who prioritise privacy, gardens and proximity to Kent countryside and nearby services.
