The Street, Selling, Kent ME13

Luton Cottage is a characterful Grade II listed period property dating from the 15th century. Its pretty external appearance combines exposed timber framing, red brick and rendered elevations with a wealth of fine internal details, giving the cottage wonderful appeal.

The ground floor offers comfortable reception rooms, each with its own character and charm. These include a comfortable sitting room with an Inglenook fireplace and log-burning stove. Beautiful timbers loosely divide this and a further snug providing a cosy sitting area.

The dining room is currently arranged as a charming music room with a wooden floor and another deep inglenook fireplace. There is also a study which, being adjacent to the generous family bathroom, could provide a perfect guest bedroom.

The kitchen/breakfast room at the rear again enjoys exposed timbers which, whilst defining the space, maintains an open feel together with the part-vaulted ceiling with skylights overhead. Solid wood units with granite work surfaces are complemented by a terracotta tiled floor. The adjoining utility room offers further useful space for home storage and appliances.

Upstairs there are three double bedrooms, accessed via two separate staircases. These include the principal bedroom, which has a dressing room, an en suite shower room and a generous landing, which could be used as a nursery or a study area.
