This Grade II listed cottage, dating back to the 16th century, offers a rare opportunity for cash buyers seeking a property rich in character and historical significance. Previously owned by a local baker for over 80 years, this home is steeped in heritage and showcases original features, including flint and timber-framed construction, period leaded diamond-pane windows, and an exposed timber frame exterior.
Inside, the layout reveals a dining room with a charming cast iron fireplace and a convenient hatch to the kitchen. The sitting room features traditional exposed beams and wood panelling, anchored by a striking exposed brick chimney breast and a wood-burning stove—elements that can be beautifully complemented by modern updates.
While the kitchen remains functional with ample units and appliances, it is primed for sympathetic modernization to enhance its appeal. The adjacent boot room/utility provides practical space for laundry needs. The staircase is framed by an intricately carved balustrade leading to a spacious galleried landing—perfect for creating an additional study or nook. Upstairs features two double bedrooms rich in character with exposed beams and secondary glazing on windows for added comfort.
The garden complements this property’s allure—accessed via a wrought iron gate, it includes vibrant flowerbeds, mature shrubs, a wildlife pond, and an expansive lawn area. A substantial outbuilding currently used for storage holds potential for conversion into additional living space or leisure facilities (subject to permissions). This cottage not only embraces its historical roots but also invites you to explore renovation potential within its walls.
Located in the village of Ospringe near Faversham—a hub of local culture with excellent amenities—this property offers both quiet rural charm and easy access to urban conveniences.
