Summary - 17 MAIDSTONE ROAD LENHAM MAIDSTONE ME17 2QH
4 bed 2 bath Cottage
Spacious period home with extended open-plan kitchen and sunny garden.
Grade II listed cottage — restrictions on alterations and maintenance
Set in the heart of Lenham, this Grade II listed four-bedroom cottage blends genuine period character with a contemporary extended kitchen/diner and south-facing garden. The property offers inglenook fireplaces, exposed beams and generous reception space across three floors, creating a welcoming family home with strong indoor–outdoor flow.
Practical benefits include a driveway leading to a single garage, a decent plot with lawn, fruit trees and a separate patio, and fast broadband — useful for home working. The house is freehold and sized at approximately 1,581 sq ft, arranged as four bedrooms and two bathrooms, making it suitable for family life or multi-generational use.
Important considerations: the Grade II listed status will restrict alterations and can complicate maintenance or extensions. There is no published EPC rating and the property sits in Council Tax Band G, so running costs should be checked. The home has been recently extended and presented to a high standard, but buyers should factor in the upkeep typical of older listed buildings.
Located in a vibrant village with shops, cafes, pubs and good local schools, the cottage also benefits from a mainline station to London and easy access to the M20. This is a characterful, well-located home for buyers who value historic fabric combined with modern living, and who accept listed-property responsibilities.
