Rose Cottage is a handsome Grade II listed detached home set behind wisteria in the heart of Sandwich. It occupies a large plot with a rare gated driveway and garage, and a sheltered walled garden that creates a private outdoor sanctuary ideal for family life and entertaining.
Inside, generously proportioned period rooms include a formal drawing room, separate sitting room, dining area and a handmade deVOL kitchen. The principal bedroom benefits from a dressing room and en suite; in total there are three double bedrooms and three bathrooms, arranged over well-balanced floors with large sash windows that flood rooms with light.
Location is a major strength: the house sits in Sandwich’s conservation area close to shops, cafés, good primary schools and regular rail services to London. The property offers immediate move-in charm and long-term potential, but buyers should be clear-eyed about listed-building constraints and improvement needs.
Practical points: the house is freehold, constructed before 1900 with solid brick walls (likely uninsulated), heated by a mains-gas boiler and radiators. The Grade II listing will restrict external and some internal alterations, and council tax is described as expensive. Despite very low flood risk and fast broadband, local recorded crime is high, which some buyers will want to consider.
