Wheatgratten Farm Cottages, Forstal Road, Lenham, Maidstone, ME17 2DR

Located within the charming semi-rural surroundings of Lenham, this beautifully improved and sympathetically extended three-bedroom cottage, formerly the ex-farm works residence, enjoys a peaceful setting with attractive countryside views and a local working farm nearby, offering the perfect blend of rural character and modern family living.

During the current owners' tenure, the property has undergone thoughtful enhancement, including the relocation and reconfiguration of the kitchen to create a more practical and sociable layout. In addition, a carefully considered extension has been added in keeping with the original style and character of the cottage, providing valuable additional living accommodation and a further bedroom while maintaining the home's attractive appearance.

The ground floor offers a welcoming lounge centred around a fireplace, creating a cosy focal point for family life. The spacious dining area seamlessly connects the principal living spaces and provides an excellent setting for both everyday dining and entertaining. Then there's the country-style kitchen. For many buyers, this will be the room that seals the deal. Well-equipped with extensive storage, generous wood-work surfaces, breakfast bar, butlers sink and integrated appliances, it's a space built around real life rather than showroom photographs. Everything sits exactly where you want it, making busy mornings, family dinners and weekend entertaining equally effortless, all whilst framing the garden via those charming bi-folding doors, complimented by a W/C & Utility area, everything's been thought of!

To the first floor, the property boasts three well-proportioned bedrooms, including the additional bedroom created through the extension. The family bathroom serves the bedrooms, accommodation and is conveniently positioned, consisting of a quaint, free-standing rolltop bath with shower over, wash hand basin & W/C.

Lenham village offers a range of local amenities, schooling, and transport links, making this an excellent opportunity for buyers seeking a countryside lifestyle without sacrificing convenience.

** Our sellers time here - ''When house hunting in 2016, we found Wheatgratten Farm cottages and knew instantly it was the home for us. The location was the deal clincher - with its mix of rural living whilst having all necessary amenities just a short drive away. Since purchasing the property, we have extended and updated the majority of the house - whilst keeping original features and a country feel where possible. This was also the house we made our family home, welcoming our 2 sons into the world whilst here. We’ve all loved our time here - the day has now come to pass our beautiful family home on. ''
