Lovingly maintained and beautifully unspoilt, the house offers almost 2,000 sq ft of characterful accommodation, delightful established gardens, a detached double garage with ample parking, and is available with no onward chain. ### Long Description Kake Cottage, a Grade II listed home, is available for sale for the first time in over 50 years and house unfolds with warmth and authenticity. Exposed timbers, original features and beautifully balanced proportions create interiors rich in character, where every room speaks of the building's heritage. Despite its period origins, the house is equally well suited to modern family life, with a generous reception hall, a superb sitting room with functional inglenook fireplace, and a separate study overlooking the garden. The kitchen flows naturally into the breakfast room, creating a sociable space for everyday living and entertaining, while a practical utility room completes the ground floor. Two staircases rise to the first floor, where the accommodation is currently arranged as three generous double bedrooms and two bathrooms. The spacious landing, shown as a reading area on the floor plan, has also served as an additional bedroom over the years, offering flexibility for visitors staying the night. The gardens are a particular delight, having matured over many years into wonderfully private spaces to relax and unwind. Colourful borders, established trees and mature hedgerows create an idyllic backdrop for outdoor entertaining while providing a peaceful haven throughout the seasons. A detached double garage is positioned discreetly to one side of the property, with ample off-road parking for several vehicles to the front. Between the garage and the house, a gated pathway provides access to the rear garden, where a useful lean-to log store sits neatly tucked away (home to the heating oil tank). Situation Waltham is a picturesque and unspoilt village nestled in a conservation area within some of the most stunning North Downs countryside in the Weald of Kent. Despite its peaceful setting, it’s just minutes from the historic city of Canterbury and around 20 minutes from the Channel Tunnel. The village offers a strong sense of community with a village hall, recreation ground, and St Bartholomew’s Church. Excellent local schools include Petham and Bodsham primarys and Wye Free School, with Wye also offering a range of amenities and its own rail station, just one stop from Ashford International—home to high-speed trains to London in 37 minutes. For wider travel, Canterbury West station provides Javelin high-speed services to Ebbsfleet, Stratford, and St Pancras in under an hour, making Waltham an ideal base for both country living and commuting.
