Two huge back-to-back inglenook fireplaces form the heart of traditional hall house, Key Cottage.

The 16th-century, Grade II-listed property sits in just under four acres at Boughton under Blean, near Faversham and has a guide price of £995,000 with Charles Bainbridge.

Grounds include paddocks, orchard and a number of outbuildings.

Buyers will find the two inglenook fireplaces warming the 18ft sitting room and the dining room, both spaces accessed via the small front hallway.

There’s a long kitchen/breakfast room with pantry and utility.

Also on the ground floor is a snug, with gas-fired stove and

a cloakroom. The house has a useable basement.

The four bedrooms are all on the first floor and include a 19ft master bedroom with dressing room and large en suite bathroom with roll-top bath. The family bathroom is also on this floor.

Gardens include paved seating area with pergola and lawns and a shingled parking area leads to a car port and garage building. External steps lead up to an 18ft x 16ft studio room/home office above.

The agent, Charles Bainbridge says: “This is a most impressive 16th-century Grade II-listed former hall house in an enviable rural location, providing extensive and versatile accommodation.

“There is a wealth of features of the period, including handsome fireplaces and exposed timbers.”
