Seal, Sevenoaks TN15

Cheesemans Cottage is a Grade II listed, timber-framed house believed to date from the 16th century, set in approximately 0.69 acre of grounds at Seal Chart. The existing accommodation comprises a sitting room, kitchen, dining area, store and bathroom on the ground floor, with two bedrooms above. The cottage has been altered over time and is described as retaining much of its historic frame. It is offered as a project to develop into a larger home, subject to the constraints and conditions associated with its listed status. Planning and listed building consents have been granted for specified changes, including repositioning a north-facing window, replacement windows and reinstatement of fireplaces. Further consents cover removal of a 19th-century addition and its replacement with a lightweight extension and glazed link, with access to the former workshop. The listing describes a proposed future layout with additional ground-floor accommodation and shower rooms. A further application for first-floor shower and toilet facilities is anticipated, so buyers should check the current permissions, conditions and status of any outstanding proposals. The cottage occupies a secluded rural position within reach of Seal and Sevenoaks. The listing notes access to Sevenoaks mainline services and the M25 and A21. Viewing and discussion of the consented scheme are arranged through Ibbett Mosely.
