Rattington Street, Chartham, Canterbury

Nestled in the heart of Chartham's historic village centre, Rattington House is a delightful Grade II listed home believed to date back to around 1460. Beautifully presented with climbing wisteria and a traditional white picket fence, this exceptional cottage combines centuries of history with generous living space and wonderfully high ceilings rarely found in period homes.

Offering over 1,800 sq ft of accommodation across three floors, the property is considerably larger than most three-bedroom homes, making it an ideal choice for families or those seeking character without compromising on space.

The home is filled with original features that reflect its rich heritage. Exposed timber framing, decorative wood panelling with rare printed grain, intricate carved details and quirky architectural elements and historic features give every room its own unique personality.

A separate dining hall provides an ideal space for entertaining, while the charming kitchen enjoys views over the rear garden beneath an open cat-slide roof, where the original timber-framed exterior wall remains on display. A utility room and ground-floor shower room add everyday practicality.

On the first floor are two generous double bedrooms, one benefitting from a walk in dressing room, along with a family bathroom complete with a roll-top bath and separate shower. A further staircase leads to the second floor, where a third double bedroom is accompanied by a large adjoining dressing room, offering flexible additional space.

Outside, the cottage is set behind a mature front garden with a driveway providing off-road parking for two vehicles. The attractive rear garden has been thoughtfully landscaped to create a peaceful and private setting, with a patio area perfect for outdoor dining, entertaining or relaxing.
