A picturesque 16th century family home has been put up for sale.

The grade-II listed property in the Harty area of Sheppey is going for £1.25m.

It sits on two acres of countryside close to the Swale which separates the Island from the mainland.

It was put on the market with CR Real Estate this week.

This five-bed home has two reception rooms, a large country kitchen and breakfast room, three bathrooms, off-road parking with driveway and two outbuildings.

It's been with the same family for more than 40 years, with the current owners' grandparents revamping it from an empty shell.

The main house has period features, from ship beams used in its main construction to inglenook fireplaces.

It also is a dining room, spacious lounge, family bathroom and country kitchen and breakfast room with wooden work surfaces and beamed ceilings.

There are also two spacious outbuildings currently used as garages with room for two cars in each.

This family home is a 10-minute walk away from the popular Ferry House Inn.
