House For Sale £375,000
A fabulous Grade II listed period cottage dating back to the 17th century set in an idyllic location on the fringe of the popular village of Chartham and overlooking the River Stour.
Sally Hatcher Estates are delighted to offer this beautiful period cottage set in an idyllic location and popular village of Chartham. Internally the property is presented to an exceptional standard and boasts many character features such as exposed chamfered beams to the ground and first floor, fantastic inset fire place with an oak bressumer beam over, exposed wooden doors and a fabulous chocolate box cottage feel to the property. The current vendors have undertaken a sympathetic and thoughtful renovation of this property in their time of ownership and are now only moving on to a different area. Unusually for a cottage dating back to the Stuart period, the accommodation is of a good size, having a generous sitting room with dining room off, L-shaped kitchen which was fitted last year, and two staircases, allowing access now to 3 separate bedrooms. To the front of the property lies the River Stour which meanders its way through Chatham in towards Canterbury and is a lovely tranquil place to sit and enjoy the views. How would I sum up this property? It is a property that has a fantastic feel and oozes charm alongside practical living accommodation. The garden to the rear is an absolute delight and this, as well as off road driveway parking would make this the ideal property for somebody looking for lots of character coupled with a great location. For any further information or to arrange a viewing please call Sally Hatcher Estates.
