This Grade II listed red-brick cottage offers characterful, low-maintenance living in the heart of Tenterden. Exposed beams, an inglenook fireplace and period features create a cosy principal floor, while a secluded rear courtyard and a lawned front garden provide attractive outdoor spaces without large maintenance demands. The compact three-floor layout includes a principal bedroom with ensuite and a second-floor double bedroom, suited to downsizers or those seeking a lock-up-and-leave town home.
Being Grade II listed brings charm but also restrictions; repairs or alterations will require listed-building consent and may add cost and delay. The plot is small and there is no mention of private parking. Council Tax is band E (above average) and local crime levels are above average, which buyers should factor into their decision.
Practical benefits include freehold tenure, a generous internal area of about 1,051 sq ft and excellent mobile and fast broadband — useful for home working or staying connected. The property sits within easy walking distance of Tenterden’s tree-lined High Street, shops, cafes and amenities, plus well-regarded schools and nearby rail links at Headcorn and Ashford for London commuting.
Overall this cottage suits a buyer who values period character, a central location and manageable gardens, and who is prepared to work within listed-building constraints. It offers immediate charm and long-term potential, but buyers should budget for listed-status maintenance and consider parking and security arrangements.
