Description
Set in the centre of this thriving village this unique home has a history stretching back to medieval times. Originally a Wealden Hall house dating back to the 15th Century it displays many original timbers, trusses and beams and has two impressive Inglenook fireplaces in the sitting room and dining room. The addition of an oak framed orangery offers the most wonderful family living area which opens onto the delightful rear garden. There is a useable cellar approached via the kitchen which contains embedded arches which, we understand, were used to over-winter bees.
To the first floor are three good sized bedrooms, the main bedroom upstairs having a spectacular cathedral arched ceiling which still shows the wood smoke stained beams from its medieval past. The second bedroom offers a mezzanine level - a fantastic children’s space or guest area. The established rear garden is mainly laid to lawn, surrounded by a traditional red brick patio giving plenty of space to enjoy the peace and quiet, whilst admiring the plants and flowers. There is a mature feature Magnolia tree which makes for a focal point and this wonderful garden is an ideal space to sit and relax, at the end of which, is a feature of an interesting sub-terranean folly which even English Heritage could not establish its use.
The village has a thriving, caring community with the local pub being a hub of activity. There is a primary school and a farm shop where local fresh produce is available, and there is an abundance of beautiful trails to walk, from your doorstep. Gravesend and Dartford are very close and access to major roads and rail links is easy and convenient, with Ebbsfleet being just five minutes away for journeys to London and mainland Europe.
With a stunning view of St Nicholas Church and set in the heart of this friendly village, this extended and carefully restored home over a ten year period by its current owners, is full of character and must be viewed internally to appreciate what is offered within.

Seller Insight
Nestled in the heart of the quaint Kent village of Southfleet, at the culmination of a Tudor terrace erected in 1480, stands number 1 Church Cottages – a residence that immediately captures attention with its striking period facade, adorned with a date plaque. This unique property is distinguished by its original oak beams, cathedral ceilings and a mezzanine level within one of its bedrooms. Adding to its charm is a sympathetically designed wooden-framed orangery, seamlessly integrated with bi-fold doors at the rear, offering picturesque views over the secluded garden and stretching beyond to St. Nicholas, a 14th-century flint and stone built Norman church.
Seller Insight
The current owners fondly reminisce about their purchase of the property eleven years ago, recalling, ‘we had always admired the house on our visits to the village, so we couldn’t believe it when it came up for sale at the right time, at the right price. It’s been the most wonderful place to bring up our children.’ Southfleet, a charming village situated southwest of Gravesend, offers convenient access to the A2 and boasts a delightful blend of listed buildings, conservation areas, and thoughtfully designed newer homes. The house is conveniently located opposite the Sedley’s Church of England Primary School established in 1637. Within walking distance, residents can enjoy amenities such as The Ship Inn, an active village hall, several clubs, as well as the historic church. ‘We love the fact that we have all the positive aspects of living in a village – community, peace and quiet, wildlife, and beautiful surroundings – yet remain close to London and major road networks, (truncated)
Seller Insight
‘Southfleet is a friendly yet pleasantly tranquil village, where residents can often be seen engaging in leisurely chats while going about their day – we're fortunate to have great neighbours.’ ‘The beautiful orangery provides ample space for the entire family, exuding a delightful summery ambience during warmer months and a cosy retreat in the winter.’ ‘The local public footpaths crisscrossing the fields are popular among dog walkers.’ ‘Fond memories of our time here include the joy of laying the foundations for the orangery and stumbling upon original bricks and artefacts dating back hundreds of years.’ ‘We relish the stunning views of the church from the end of our garden – it feels akin to gazing upon a painting.’
