Summary - 61 LONDON ROAD TEYNHAM SITTINGBOURNE ME9 9QW
3 bed 1 bath Detached
Three-bedroom period cottage on a large plot with development potential, subject to consents..
Grade II listed 17th-century detached cottage with strong period character
This Grade II listed 17th-century detached cottage blends authentic period character with a large, private plot in Teynham. The house retains exposed beams, an inglenook with a log burner, and three double bedrooms across the first floor. The property sits on a generous plot with side driveway parking, a dry cellar and scope to add a detached outbuilding (subject to planning).
The interior is traditional in layout with two reception rooms, a fitted kitchen, utility and family bathroom. Recent double glazing and mains gas central heating offer practical comfort, but the rear garden and some external areas show signs of age and will need renovation. The low ceilings and cottage room proportions reflect the property's historic build rather than modern open-plan living.
Important practical points: this is a listed building, so any alterations will require listed-building consent and can be restrictive and costly. The large plot does present development potential for a garage or separate dwelling, but any works are subject to planning and statutory consents. Council tax and local crime levels are above average for the area, which buyers should factor in.
Well-suited to buyers seeking a character home with long-term upside — families wanting period accommodation near good rail links, or buyers able to manage sympathetic repairs and navigate listed-building restrictions. The location provides village amenities and reasonable commuting options while offering a sizeable garden and off-street parking.
