This Grade II listed 17th-century detached cottage sits at the foot of the North Downs, offering genuine period character across three floors. Exposed beams, inglenook fireplaces and original features create a warm family atmosphere, while four bedrooms (two with walk-in wardrobes and one en-suite) provide flexible living for modern family life.
The house benefits from gas-fired central heating, secondary double glazing and off-street parking with a garage. A well-established cottage garden to the front and an enclosed rear courtyard provide outdoor space for children and gardening; the large plot and cellar offer potential for storage or creative use.
Buyers should be aware this property is Grade II listed — that status restricts alterations and may complicate renovations or modernisation. The layout includes low ceilings and smaller period rooms, which may not suit those wanting large open-plan living. Broadband speeds are slow locally and the council tax band is above average.
Chain-free and ready for immediate occupation, the location is strong for families: good and outstanding local schools, nearby shops and public transport links into Maidstone and beyond. The setting, close to countryside walks and village amenities, will suit buyers seeking character, a rural-feel and access to reputable schools.
