Set on a large plot in semi-rural Otham, this three-bedroom detached cottage offers a rare combination of outdoor space and village tranquillity. Formerly part of a stable block, the house retains period character and sits within easy reach of countryside walks and the M20 commuter links. The generous rear garden and side plot create clear scope for extensions or reconfiguration, subject to planning consent.
The accommodation requires renovation throughout, making this a suitable project for a growing family or buyer seeking value through improvement. The property is solid brick and double-glazed, heated by an oil-fired boiler and radiators; there is currently one small bathroom and modest kitchen space. Practical improvements such as insulation, modernisation of services, and reconfiguration of living areas would unlock the home’s full potential.
Practical benefits include a driveway for two cars, fast broadband, and freehold tenure. Notable negatives are the single bathroom, oil heating (not on a community system), assumed uninsulated solid walls, and an above-average local crime level. Council tax is above average. Interested buyers should confirm planning history and services with their solicitor before proceeding.
For families who value outdoor living and countryside proximity, this property is an opportunity to create a larger, more modern home while retaining period charm. Buyers must be prepared for renovation work and the planning process for any extensions.
