Summary - TUDOR ROSE COTTAGE CHESTNUT STREET BORDEN SITTINGBOURNE ME9 8DA
5 bed 2 bath Semi-Detached
Historic five‑bed cottage with huge south garden and long driveway.
Grade II listed 17th‑century timber framed cottage
Tudor Rose Cottage is a rare Grade II listed, timber‑framed semi‑detached home dating from the 17th century. With nearly 2,000 sq ft of accommodation across multiple floors, five bedrooms and a network of cosy rooms, the house retains exposed beams, briquette fireplaces and other period details that create genuine character throughout.
The plot is a standout: a 183 ft south‑facing rear garden backing onto a stable yard, plus an approx. 100 ft driveway with space for several vehicles. Positioned on the outskirts of Borden in a semi‑rural hamlet setting, the cottage offers easy access to the A249 for routes to Sittingbourne, the M2 and M20, while local footpaths and hacking are close by.
Buyers should be aware this is a Grade II listed property (built c.1600). Listed status will restrict alterations and can increase maintenance costs; repairs must respect historic fabric. The house also has low ceilings in places and will suit buyers who value character over new build proportions.
This home will appeal to families or purchasers seeking a character‑rich, countryside residence with excellent garden and parking. It suits those prepared to work within listed‑building constraints and invest in ongoing upkeep to preserve its historic charm.
