Orchard Cottage is a three-bedroom detached home that blends 1980s cottage character with a generous plot and practical parking. Exposed beams, latch-key doors and an impressive brick fireplace with a wood-burning stove create a warm, traditional feel across about 1,200 sq ft. The house sits well back from London Road behind a gated driveway and detached garage, offering privacy and scope for outbuilding conversion (subject to planning).
The ground floor layout is family-friendly: a large sitting room and an open-plan kitchen/dining room form the social heart, while a separate utility and stable door add practicality for garden access. Upstairs provides three good-sized bedrooms and a family bathroom. Local amenities are strong for a semi-rural location — Teynham village shops, a mainline station with commuter links to London, and several primary and secondary schools are all within easy reach.
The property does require updating and cosmetic renovation to reach its full potential; some fixtures and decor are dated. Broadband speeds are reported slow, and the area records above-average crime levels — both important points for buyers to budget for and investigate. Energy performance details are to be confirmed (EPC TBC). Sold freehold and chain-free, the house will particularly suit buyers wanting a character home they can personalise, or those looking to convert the garage into a home office or annexe (subject to permissions).
