Key information
Features and description
- Charming Grade II Listed cottage, believed to date from the 17th century or earlier, set within approx. 1 acre of beautifully maintained gardens on the edge of the Chilston Park Estate.
- Ideal for a smallholding, with established bee hives, large chicken run, polytunnel, fruit cages, vegetable garden, and greenhouses.
- No onward chain, offering a rare and immediate opportunity to acquire a historic rural home.
- Rich in period features, including exposed beams, timber floors, tile-hung elevations, an inglenook fireplace, and a woodburning stove.
- Flexible living accommodation, with three bedrooms (one interconnecting), en suite bathroom, two reception rooms, a galley kitchen, utility room, and a ground floor shower room.
- Extensive outdoor amenities, including a gated driveway, detached double garage, additional outbuilding/workshop, and well-tended grounds with mature trees and open lawns.
- Sought-after rural location in the hamlet of Sandway, close to Lenham village with local amenities, schooling, and a vibrant community atmosphere.
- Excellent transport links, including Lenham station with direct trains to London and Ashford, access to the M20 motorway, and connections to the Kent coast and beyond.
These exceptional gardens are not only beautifully arranged but remarkably productive - at times of the year, you may find yourself living almost entirely off your own land. -- Greg Wood, Director
#TheGardenOfEngland
An enchanting and characterful Grade II Listed cottage, nestled within approximately one acre of beautifully established grounds and occupying a tranquil rural setting on the edge of the historic Chilston Park Estate.
Ideal for a small holding with established bee hives, a considerable chicken run, large vegetable garden, fruit cage, fruit trees, etc.
No onward chain.
Discreetly positioned in the sought-after hamlet of Sandway and ideally placed for both Lenham village and excellent transport links, Hazelwood represents a rare opportunity to acquire a charming period home of notable provenance. Believed to date from the 17th century or earlier, the cottage was once part of the distinguished Chilston Park Estate and today offers a wealth of original features combined with scope for further personalisation.
Constructed of traditional brick and stone beneath attractive tile-hung elevations, Hazelwood enjoys an abundance of period charm throughout. The accommodation is arranged over two floors and includes a delightful sitting room with an impressive inglenook fireplace, a separate dining room featuring an attractive woodburning stove, and a traditional galley kitchen to the rear of the property. Exposed beams, timber floors and handcrafted details add warmth and authenticity throughout.
The ground floor is further complemented by a useful utility/laundry room and a well-appointed shower room. Upstairs, the principal bedroom benefits from an en suite bathroom, with two further bedrooms on this level – one interconnecting – providing flexible space for family or guests.
Approached via a gated driveway, the property enjoys ample parking and access to a detached double garage. A further outbuilding offers ideal workshop or studio space, while the extensive gardens are a true highlight – thoughtfully landscaped and well tended, with areas of open lawn, mature trees (including a striking liquidambar), fruit gardens, all set against a backdrop of glorious countryside views. It's noteworthy that the property benefits from a working well (with pump), which helps water the whole garden.
Situation
Hazelwood occupies an idyllic semi-rural position on the fringes of Sandway, just a short distance from the popular village of Lenham. This thriving community offers a range of local amenities including shops, public houses, a church and well-regarded schooling. A broader selection of shopping, cultural and leisure opportunities may be found in nearby Maidstone and Ashford.
Lenham mainline station provides regular services to London Victoria and Ashford International, with onward connections via the High Speed line to London St Pancras in approximately 37 minutes. The M20 motorway is also within easy reach, offering swift access to the wider motorway network, London and the Kent coast.
A superb opportunity with no onward chain – early viewing is highly recommended.
