This Grade II listed two-bedroom cottage blends genuine period character with modern comforts, recently refreshed throughout. The interior highlights include cast-iron radiators, a stylish shower room and a well-equipped cottage kitchen with solid oak worktops and space for a range-style Smeg oven. The property footprint is compact but efficiently arranged over two main storeys with an attic dormer and a useful outbuilding providing utility and workshop/store space.
Set in the heart of Barham village, the house benefits from a peaceful semi-rural location between Canterbury and Folkestone and enjoys pleasant views over the village green from the main bedroom. The small walled front lawn, gated side access and end-of-terrace position add kerb appeal and extra privacy. Fast broadband and very low local crime support easy day-to-day living.
Buyers should note the home’s listed status, which can limit external alteration and may complicate some renovation works. There is a medium flood risk for the area, and the garden/plot is small, so outdoor space is modest. Overall this property will suit buyers seeking a character cottage with ready-to-live-in accommodation, plus potential to enhance value subject to listed-building consents.
