Orchard Cottage, located on the popular Round Street in the charming village of Sole Street, Kent, is a distinctive three/four-bedroom family home set within a gated plot of approximately 2.5 acres. This property, with its versatile layout and spacious grounds, is designed to meet a variety of lifestyle needs. The entrance leads through a welcoming porch with a Georgian-style window, opening into a bright hall. From here, access flows through to the home’s ample main living spaces and functional areas.
The sitting room, featuring a traditional brick-built fireplace with a log fire, makes it the ideal place for cozy family gatherings. The open-plan kitchen and dining area offers a well-equipped kitchen with tiled flooring, fitted wall and base units, a Butler sink and Neff appliances, making it both practical and stylish. The adjoining dining area with bi-fold doors to the outside creates a seamless flow to the garden for easy indoor-outdoor entertaining. A pantry provides additional storage, and a utility room adds functional space for laundry appliances. The family room offers a delightful view through a Georgian-style bay window to the rear and opens out to the side garden via French doors. Adjacent to the family room a versatile bedroom or study with a window to the front provides options for home working, hobbies or guest accommodation.
Rising to the first floor, the cottage opens onto a landing that provides access to all upstairs bedrooms and family bathroom. The main bedroom suite has built-in wardrobes and a spacious ensuite bathroom offering a freestanding marble bath, a shower cubicle and windows to the rear and side, combining sophistication and comfort. The additional two bedrooms are well-appointed with Georgian-style windows and ample space.
Orchard Cottage’s outside spaces are a true highlight. The formal garden, about 0.4 acres, features a lush lawn, patio and decking areas and garden shed. The adjacent separate side plot of approximate 0.3 acre includes a separate gated access point and a converted stable block, now serving as an office complete with a lounge and bar area - perfect for a home office or entertaining friends and family. There’s also a versatile barn-style structure currently used as a gym, making this an excellent space for fitness and relaxation or other purpose. Behind the main house, the expansive 1.8-acre paddock provides ample room for equestrian use or simply as an open outdoor space to enjoy.
Sole Street is a sought-after rural location, featuring a village shop, public house, and mainline station with direct service to London Victoria. The historic village of Cobham offers a primary school, while nearby Gravesend and Meopham provide secondary schools, local shopping, and dining options, including restaurants, coffee shops, a Tesco, chemist, and more. The M2 and M25 motorways are easily accessible, offering connections to Gatwick and Heathrow airports, London, and the Bluewater shopping complex. Ebbsfleet International railway station, with a high-speed 17-minute commute to London, enhances the convenience of this property’s rural yet connected setting, making Orchard Cottage an exceptional find for those seeking both charm and accessibility.
