GUIDE PRICE £350,000 - £400,000 Nestled in the heart of the delightful semi-rural village of Southfleet, this charming and well-proportioned two-bedroom cottage comes to the market for the first time in nearly 4 decades.

It offers an appealing blend of peaceful village living, original period character, and excellent connectivity.

As you enter the front door, you step into an exceptionally spacious sitting/dining room that immediately sets the tone.

A beautiful staircase, brick fireplace, and a warm and inviting atmosphere, while the room flows directly through to a spacious kitchen that enjoys a lovely outlook over the rear garden.

A practical and sizeable ground-floor bathroom completes the ground floor.

Upstairs, two good-sized bedrooms are light and airy, both enjoying attractive views across the surrounding countryside and woodlands.

The private rear garden is largely laid with artificial grass, with areas of block paving providing various seating spaces.

A sizeable garage and shed offer useful storage, while mature hedging and new fence panelling create a secluded and tranquil outdoor space ideal for relaxing or entertaining.

Southfleet is a peaceful, historic rural Kent village with a strong sense of community.

Classic village amenities lie within easy walking distance: the Ship Inn (a Grade II listed timber-framed pub with origins in the 16th century or earlier, traditionally said to incorporate timbers from a ship that ran aground on the River Fleet), Broadditch Farm Shop (offering fresh local produce) along with all year round events, the Grade I listed St Nicholas Church and village hall along with the benefits from Sedley’s Church of England Primary School.

Longfield village, Gravesend town centre, and Bluewater are all readily accessible for further shopping, leisure, and educational facilities.
