Tudor Rose Cottage, Chestnut Street, Sittingbourne, ME9 8DA

Tudor Rose cottage is a fine example of a Grade II listed semi-detached home.

From its 17th century origins, possibly as a mediaeval hall house, timber framed with Wattle and Daub rendered infills, where accommodation was once shared with the animals!

Laterally the cottage was extended and altered in Victorian times with arts and crafts influence with the addition of briquette fireplaces, loggia with brick columns and additional fenestration to the rear.

This eclectic mix creates a charming home with cosy comfortable rooms set in a delightful plot in this semi rural location, backing onto a stable yard with excellent local hacking.

Chestnut Street is almost a hamlet within Borden village to the west, excellent access to the A249 which connects Sittingbourne M2 and Maidstone M20.

Borden has a Norman church, popular local school, pub and community centre with several new developments creating a vibrant community.

The present owners have thoroughly enjoyed the last 22 years at Tudor Rose cottage where they have made significant improvements while still retaining the original charm.
