The Stables, Maidstone, ME18 5HE

Believed to date back to 1609, this delightful three-bedroom detached cottage is steeped in history and brimming with character, offering a rare opportunity to acquire a period home with a wealth of charm and original features.

The ground floor accommodation is both practical and inviting, comprising a well-proportioned kitchen with ample space for food preparation and storage, a cosy and characterful living room perfect for relaxing, and a separate dining room ideal for family meals or entertaining guests.

The layout provides a flow between living spaces while retaining a sense of individuality in each room.

A staircase from the living room rises to the first floor, adding to the cottage’s traditional appeal. To the first floor, there are three generously sized double bedrooms.

The third bedroom is accessed via the second, offering flexibility for a variety of uses such as a dressing room, nursery, study, or guest accommodation.

A family bathroom serves the bedrooms and is conveniently located off the landing.

Externally, the property continues to impress with an attractive courtyard garden, providing a private and low-maintenance outdoor space, perfect for al fresco dining or enjoying warmer months.

Further enhancing the appeal is a garage, currently used by the sellers as a storage space with fitted shelving.

However, this could easily be adapted back to its original purpose to accommodate a vehicle if desired, offering additional versatility.

This charming home would ideally suit those looking for a character property with period charm, while still providing practical living space both inside and out.
