1 The Square, Chartham CT4 7JG
Draped with wisteria and
framed with white picket
fencing, this beautiful
15th century home paints
a pretty picture.
Grade II Listed and set in the old village square of Chartham, Rattington
House is a wonderful period home that has all the charms of a
country cottage, but the space of a much larger property.
Indeed, at nearly 1,800 sq ft, the accommodation is significantly more
extensive than a typical three bedroom home, and would prove very
comfortable for a small family.

As with any property of
this period, there is a
great deal of character
within each room, but
in Rattington Cottage
there’s something new (or
rather old) to see at every
turn. Wooden panelling
with rare printed grain,
carved reliefs, doors that
seemingly lead nowhere
and more besides.
Arranged over three floors, the principle living accommodation includes
a large living room with a homely fireplace and wood-burning stove,
a separate dining room with a decorative wooden mullion-framed
window which looks through to the kitchen and a practical utility room
with adjoining cloakroom/shower room.

We particularly love the
kitchen, which not only
overlooks the garden
and lies under a cat-slide
roof which is open to the
rafters, but having clearly
been a later addition, also
looks upon the original
jettied, timber-framed
exterior wall.
To the first floor there are two bedrooms, both of which are large
double rooms and adjoin a dressing room or nursery. There is also a
family bathroom with roll-top bath and shower. A second set of stairs
lead up to the third bedroom which again is a good-sized double room
and adjoins a large dressing room.
Set back slightly from the passing lane and behind a well-established
front garden, Rattington House has off-street parking with space for
two cars. The rear garden is equally well-planted and as well as a patio
area, this relatively private retreat provides ample space in which to
dine outside or enjoy a sundowner.
Chartham village is conveniently close to Canterbury with both a cycle
path following the River Stour directly into the City Centre and of
course Chartham’s mainline station which runs between Canterbury
West, Ashford and London St Pancras with high speed services to
London in less than an hour. The village also has a primary school, a
popular pub and convenience store.
