Our featured cottages in Kent include this listed property in Maidstone, the county town. It is located at the centre of this beautiful and historic area with many of the highlights within easy reach such as Leeds Castle, the home of Sir Winston Churchill - Chartwell, Anne Boleyn's family home at Hever Castle and the immaculate flowerbed, topiary and lawns at Sissinghurst Castle Garden. In Maidstone itself, you can wander along the banks of the peaceful River Medway, or take a gentle river cruise.

This Grade II listed 15th century cottage is a particularly important building of more than special interest and one of a very small number in the UK. Once half of a Wealden hall house, it later served as a buttery before being divided to form two adjoining properties. Featuring a steep wooden staircase, an open fire containing a bread oven, and a private enclosed garden with secure electric gates, it sits within 3 miles of Leeds Castle and within a minute’s walk of a discreet side entrance to historic Mote Park. Dating back to the Middle Ages, Mote Park’s 450 acres of mature parkland offer many beautiful walks (dogs welcome), a 30 acre lake for sailing, angling and model boats, and a leisure centre with pitch and put, play area, skate park and indoor swimming pool. Maidstone is under 3 miles. Shop and pub in Bearsted village, 1.5 miles.
Open plan sitting room with open fire, sofa bed (for + 2) and kitchen and dining areas. First floor: Two double bedrooms. Small bunk bedded room with 2’ 6” beds (for + 2). Bathroom/WC.
