Set behind a gated entrance, Rose Cottage is a truly unique and charming country home, seamlessly blending historic character with modern convenience. Formerly two separate cottages, it has been thoughtfully transformed into a single, beautifully proportioned residence that retains its period appeal while offering a practical and flexible layout. Homes of this calibre rarely become available, making this an exceptional opportunity to acquire a stunning property in a sought after location.

Dating back to the 18th century, this property is Grade II listed since 1982 and showcases timeless Kentish architecture, featuring a two storey structure with two cellars, with one conveniently accessed from the entrance hall via its own staircase. The home built with red and buff brickwork has a six window fa ade, and traditional sash windows. The property retains exquisite period details, including bracketed doorcases, rustic supports, and an eaves cornice, all of which add to its charm. Once inside the gates, the property provides an idyllic and private 0.48 acres retreat, offering a lifestyle that perfectly balances character, comfort, and practicality.

The ground floor is exceptionally well designed for modern family life and entertaining. At its heart is a kitchen breakfast room, providing an ideal space for gatherings and daily living. The sitting room is a particularly inviting space, complete with a log burning fire, creating a cosy atmosphere on colder days. The dining room and study offer further flexible living areas, while the utility room and cloakroom WC ensures everyday practicality. The addition of a ground floor bedroom guest suite with its own ensuite shower room makes this home perfect for multi generational living or accommodating visitors in comfort. Last but not least, the spacious family room adjacent to the guest bedroom has a real wow factor but could easily be used in an annex arrangement incorporating the guest bedroom.

Upstairs, the main bedroom is a standout feature, boasting a spacious ensuite bath and shower room. Four further bedrooms provide excellent accommodation, with one currently used as a dressing room, benefiting from Jack and Jill access to the main bathroom ensuite. A family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms, ensuring convenience for all residents.

Outside, the home sits within stunning private farmhouse grounds, surrounded by mature trees, creating an atmosphere that feels like a secluded haven. The landscaped gardens feature lush lawns, a separate enclosed vegetable growing area, and plenty of space to relax on the patio and decking area and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. The property also benefits from a summer house which has home office or gym potential and is perfect for leisure or storage, as well as two further outbuildings a shed and a kennel store with dog shower offering additional storage or potential for other uses.

Situated in Southfleet, the property enjoys a welcoming village community, complete with a local public house, nursery school, primary school, church, and village hall. Highly regarded grammar schools can be found in the locale as well as Longfield Academy, a relatively newly built secondary school with excellent facilities nearby. The location provides exceptional transport links, with the A2 just 1 miles away, offering easy access to major road networks. Ebbsfleet International, just three miles from the property, provides high speed rail connections to London and beyond, while Longfield village, also within three miles, offers main line station services, shops, supermarkets, and other essential amenities. Both Dartford 4 miles and Gravesend 3 miles are within easy reach, providing further retail and leisure options. Bluewater Shopping Centre, with its extensive selection of shops, restaurants, a cinema is just over 4 miles away.

Rose Cottage is a rare opportunity to acquire a home of such character, history, and privacy in an enviable location. This is a property that must be viewed to be fully appreciated.
