Description
GUIDE PRICE £1,100,000 - £1,200,000
Medway House is a handsome Edwardian detached home nestled within the quiet village of Sole Street, Cobham, and is offered to the market for the first time in nearly 50 years. Set within a generous 0.6-acre plot, the property offers enormous potential for those seeking a large character residence they can modernise to their own taste or even extend, subject to the usual consents. The house retains many original period features, enjoying a spacious and airy feel throughout and would make an ideal long-term family home. The accommodation comprises entrance hall, study, sitting room, dining room, kitchen/breakfast room, utility room, and a downstairs wet room/WC. Upstairs, there are four bedrooms and a nursery size bedroom / additional study, alongside a family bathroom.
Externally, the property is just as impressive. The expansive gardens surround the house with established lawns, offering privacy and a beautiful backdrop for summer entertaining or family life. The large driveway and carport provide generous off-street parking, while the substantial detached garage/workshop includes garaging for four vehicles and has rooms above, offering clear potential for various usage such as home gym, home office or even an annexe conversion for multi-generational living, subject to any necessary planning consents. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial family home in a sought after village, with all the space, character and potential to create something truly special.
This home is looking for a new custodian that will now modernise and refresh its interior and with its versatile accommodation it is sure to suit an array of buyers, including growing families, mulit-generational living or those from London looking for an ‘escape to Kent’ and a 'get away from it all' village life experience.
Sole Street is a sought-after village location with a real sense of community. There is a village shop, local pubs within walking distance and excellent transport connections via Sole Street Station offering links to London, as well as easy access to the A2 and M2 road networks. Families will benefit from a range of reputable schools nearby including Cobham Primary School and Meopham School, with grammar school options in Gravesend and Strood and several independent schools within easy driving distance. The nearby towns of Meopham and Cobham offer further amenities, and for more extensive shopping, Bluewater is a short drive away.
