Summary - ORCHARD COTTAGE, SCHOOL LANE, SITTINGBOURNE, MILSTEAD ME9 0SJ
3 bed 1 bath Detached
Idyllic thatched cottage with nearly 3 acres and versatile outbuildings.
Grade II listed thatched cottage with authentic period features
Orchard Cottage is a picturesque Grade II listed thatched home set within approximately 2.95 acres of gardens and paddocks. The property combines genuine historic character—exposed beams, brickwork and leaded windows—with versatile outbuildings and generous outdoor space suitable for small-scale equestrian or agricultural use.
Internally the cottage offers two reception rooms, a snug/study and a well-proportioned kitchen/breakfast room, alongside three first-floor bedrooms. The layout suits family life or those seeking a characterful countryside retreat; room sizes are modest and ceilings are standard, reflecting the cottage scale.
Buyers should note the property’s listed status, which will restrict alterations and require specialist consent for work. The thatched roof and historic fabric will need ongoing, specialist maintenance. There is a single main bathroom and a separate WC, which may be limiting for larger households without updating.
Positioned on the edge of Milstead village, Orchard Cottage delivers seclusion and low local crime while remaining a short drive from Sittingbourne and local schools. Fast broadband and a prosperous rural neighbourhood add practical appeal for home workers, while the expansive plot and outbuildings create opportunities for hobby farming, stables or garden projects.
