Rattington Street, Chartham

A charming grade two listed cottage with a garage and off-street parking to the rear, situated in the heart of the village of Chartham, just moments from the village green, local shop and mainline train station. This gorgeous cottage is beautifully presented throughout and showcases a wealth of period features including exposed beams and traditional wooden latch key doors.

You enter into a delightful sitting room which features a wood burning stove and wooden flooring, creating a warm and cosy ambiance, perfect for hunkering down in the upcoming winter evenings. There is storage either side of the chimney breast, with one side featuring attractive open shelving. Through to a charming farmhouse style kitchen which has attractive red floor tiling which gives it a rustic look, and it has a pretty, wooden stable door out to the courtyard garden at the rear. The kitchen has a range of attractive cream units with wooden worktops and there is space for a fridge, freezer, oven and dishwasher. A door then leads into a beautifully appointed bathroom which has a large walk-in shower unit with a matt black trim, a beautiful contrast against the white metro tiled walls. There is a rustic wooden vanity unit with a wash basin and behind the door, you will find space under a wooden countertop for a washing machine.

Stairs rise to the first floor, where you will find the main bedroom which is a good-sized double and has two storage cupboards with hanging space. Another staircase then takes you up to the second bedroom which is large enough to fit a double bed but does have restricted head height. There is potential to remove the false ceiling to open the room up more and the owners tell us that there is some lovely, exposed brick behind the false walls, waiting to be uncovered.

OUTSIDE:

There is a pretty courtyard to the rear of the property which enjoys plenty of privacy and a south-westerly aspect, ensuring plenty of sunshine. It is a wonderful space for those who enjoy their own garden but want something low maintenance, which they can fill with bright potted flowers.

The cottage also benefits from a good-sized garage to the rear which has vehicle access and there is space to park a car in front of it. The garage has great potential and has a second storage area to the rear of it which would make a fantastic workshop. There is also a bit of land to the back of the garage, which has been used as a vegetable patch in the past.
