About this property

NO CHAIN | Fall in love with village life in this beautiful Grade II listed cottage, where character, 3 double bedrooms, gorgeous gardens and a charming setting create an idyllic place to call home.

NO CHAIN | Escape to village life with this beautiful Grade II listed ‘chocolate box cottage’, tucked away in the picturesque village of Norton. Brimming with period character, pretty cottage gardens and inviting living spaces, this is a home that offers the chance to enjoy a more relaxed pace of life without giving up everyday convenience.

Lovingly maintained and enhanced by the current owners, the cottage combines its historic charm with everything you need for comfortable modern day living. Beautiful country cottage gardens sit to both the front and rear, while a detached garage and generous driveway provide ample parking for several vehicles.

Step inside and the character of the home immediately comes to life. The cosy lounge is a wonderful place to retreat to at the end of the day, with exposed beams and an impressive inglenook fireplace housing a wood burning stove creating a warm and welcoming focal point. French doors open directly onto the garden patio, making it easy to spill outside during the warmer months, while stairs rise to the first floor.

The dining room provides another characterful setting, complete with its own fireplace and plenty of room for gathering around the table with family and friends. From here, the accommodation flows through to a useful study and into the farmhouse style kitchen/breakfast room. Shaker style cabinetry and a range cooker complement the cottage perfectly, while dual aspect windows allow plenty of natural light into the room and offer views of the surroundings. A convenient W.C. completes the ground floor.

Upstairs, there are three well proportioned double bedrooms, providing plenty of room for family life or visiting guests. Two of the bedrooms share a charming Jack and Jill en-suite shower room, while the main bedroom also benefits from fitted wardrobes. The family bathroom adds another touch of traditional character with its generous four piece suite, including a roll top bath and separate shower.

The gardens are a real part of the lifestyle on offer here. Step through the French doors from the lounge and onto the patio, an inviting spot for a morning coffee, summer lunch or an evening drink while looking across the south westerly facing garden. Largely laid to lawn, the garden is beautifully stocked with shrubs, perennials and bee and butterfly friendly planting, creating plenty of colour and interest throughout the seasons.

A wooden shed provides useful garden storage, while the insulated summer house offers a particularly versatile addition. Previously used as a home office, it could just as easily become a peaceful place to work, enjoy a hobby or simply escape to with a book while overlooking the garden.

The timber garage was built in 2018 and features a tiled roof, traditional barn doors, power and lighting. Double gates lead through to the front driveway, where there is ample parking for several vehicles.

The setting completes the picture. Norton is a charming village within a conservation area, offering the kind of community atmosphere that makes village life so appealing. A local pub, village hall, church and sports club are all close at hand, while the surrounding area provides plenty of opportunities to enjoy the Kent countryside.

Despite its peaceful setting, Norton is conveniently positioned just south of the A2 between Faversham and Sittingbourne. Both towns offer a wide choice of shops, cafés, restaurants and everyday amenities, together with high speed rail connections to London St Pancras. The M2 can be accessed via Junction 5 or 6, providing convenient road links towards London, the M25 and the coastal towns of East Kent, while highly regarded schools can be found in both Sittingbourne and Faversham.

For anyone dreaming of cottage life, evenings beside the wood burning stove, summer days in a beautiful garden and the charm of a traditional Kent village, this wonderful period home offers a lifestyle that could be very easy to fall in love with.
