House For Sale £800,000
Wow! This stunning and distinctive detached thatched cottage simply has to be seen to be appreciated and offers bags of character/history whilst occupying a fifth acre plot and located on the edge of the village of Southfleet.
The home dates back to circa 1450 (according to a local Historian, who has provided comprehensive information) and it has been well loved and cherished by the current owners.
On the ground floor the home offers a lounge with large fireplace and dual fuel burner, separate dining room, kitchen/breakfast room and four piece bathroom that includes a roll top bath and shower cubicle. Upstairs is a large landing (that the owners use as a study), two double bedrooms (the master with a window seat) and a w.c.
Externally the home includes electric timber entry gates with a thatched lychgate that leads to a driveway and off street parking for up to five cars. The beautiful rear/side gardens are mature and well maintained and includes a courtyard patio with brick pillars and brick built BBQ, plus the driveway is dressed with a pergola. The side lawned section of garden also features a gorgeous summerhouse with matching thatched roof. To the rear of the garden is a detached garage & games room, plus a stable (that could be used as storage).
The home backs onto a small field proving a rural aspect to the rear to complete the home.
The home is not a listed building and hence benefits from double glazed windows and we understand the roof was refurbished about 11 years ago. The home utilizes oil heating by a Worcester boiler and the drainage is facilitated by a bespoke comprehensive septic tank system.
Some rooms have restricted height due to ceiling beams (the lowest in the lounge at about 6' high), plus some internal doors are shorter than usual, but adds to the homes quirky and authentic feel.
Southfleet Village includes a school, church and pub. Main local amenities can be found in the neighbouring Longfield (includes Longfield Station, Waitrose, Co-op, eateries, vets and doctors) or at Sainsburys Pepperhill. Bluewater is quickly accessible via the adjacent Bean. Residents enjoy the easy access to the A2, M25 and Ebbsfleet.
What the owners say:
Our retirement is looming and we sadly have to leave our beautiful home and garden. We have been blessed with the privilege of being added to the long list of custodians of the Cottage, which goes back as far as circa 1450. We are certain that whoever follows us will love the house as much as we do, and make many lovely memories, as we have.
We will also miss our neighbours and our chats over the garden fence, particularly during all the recent lockdowns.
