Great Mongeham, Kent

Old Oak Cottage forms the larger portion of an attractive pair of homes dating back to the 17th Century. The house has been carefully enhanced by the current owners, balancing modern practicality with the preservation of its historic character.
The property offers well proportioned and light-filled accommodation, unusual for much older properties, arranged over three floors. Period features remain a defining element, including exposed ceiling timbers, original floorboards and a striking inglenook fireplace fitted with a woodburning stove, creating a strong focal point to the principal reception room.
The kitchen/breakfast room has been sympathetically extended, an impressive room in its own right with vaulted ceiling and views over the rear garden along with access via a stable door. Fitted in a classic shaker style with wooden worktops and a Rangemaster cooker, maintaining a traditional feel.
Two reception rooms provide flexibility for both formal and informal living, complemented by a delightful garden room that connects the house to the garden. A boot/utility room sits between the main living spaces, in addition to a useful ground floor cloakroom. A trap door within the dining room leads to a basement level, historically used as the original kitchen, now offering useful storage or potential for further living
space, currently used as a bar/party space.
The upper floors provide four double bedrooms, including two with en-suite facilities, in addition to a family bathroom. The principal bedroom is a particularly lovely room, offering triple aspect views over the gardens, an original fireplace and wall-to-wall fitted wardrobes. The top floor offers two further double bedrooms and a bathroom, ideal for children or guest suite.
