Two-bedroom Victorian terraced cottage with period features
Cosy sitting room with wood-burning stove and exposed brick fireplace
Generous private rear garden with paved seating area and outbuilding
Brick outbuilding provides utility/workshop and storage
Double glazing installed; oil-fired central heating (oil tank on site)
Modest room sizes and limited circulation space typical of cottages
Solid brick walls likely lack modern cavity insulation; refurbishment needed
Right of way at rear; small plot and some modernisation required
Set in the popular village of Bilsington, this attractive two-bedroom terraced cottage offers a cosy sitting room with a wood-burning stove and practical living over two floors. The layout is compact and efficient, with a kitchen, two first-floor bedrooms and a shower room. A brick outbuilding provides a useful utility/workshop and the rear garden is mature and private. The property is offered with no onward chain.
The house retains period character—exposed brick fireplace, original proportions and traditional features—while modern comforts include double glazing and oil-fired central heating. The plot is modest but includes a paved seating area, mature planting and a large timber shed. Local amenities and Hamstreet station are within a short drive, making this convenient for commuting or village life.
Buyers should note the cottage’s modest room sizes and traditional solid-brick construction, likely without modern cavity insulation. The house would benefit from light refurbishment and updating to maximise comfort and energy efficiency. Oil heating and an external oil tank remain in use, which may influence running costs and future heating plans.
This is an appealing opportunity for a first-time buyer or couple seeking a characterful period home to personalise, or for a landlord targeting village rentals/holiday lets. The lack of onward chain, useful outbuilding and private garden give clear potential, provided buyers accept smaller rooms and some refurbishment work.
