I am looking for old adverts from property pages in local newspapers
in England in the mid 1970s. Haven't found anything on the internet so
far.

Does anyone know where I might find some?

"District" Libraries usually have micro-filmed copies of local (and
national) newspapers. You haven't specified any particular 'local'.

Maidstone - Ashford rural district. Large house. 19 bedrooms. 3 acres.
Approx 1975.

Hmm; I don't know the area ... but you do know how to 'Google' presumably?

Thirty-odd seconds of cut'n'pasting got me the following;-

752344

Archives - Centre for Kentish Studies, County Hall, Maidstone ME14 1XQ
Telephone (01622) 694363

Newspapers

As 'they' say; - 'ask a man who knows' ... there should be a contact at one
of these telephone numbers that will be able to zero-in your vague enquiry.
