Tucked away in Ashford, this Grade II listed semi-detached cottage blends historic charm with recent modern updates. The living room centers on a large inglenook fireplace beneath exposed beams; the house has been newly carpeted and benefits from a modern kitchen and bathroom. Outside there is a small courtyard garden and private gravel driveway providing off-street parking.
The property’s compact layout (approx. 53 sqm / 536 sq ft) suits a first-time buyer or downsizer seeking character rather than large living spaces. Two bedrooms are arranged over the upper floor; the smaller second bedroom is best for a single bed, home office or storage. The house is offered chain-free and will be sold via the Modern Method of Auction with a fixed Reservation Period and a requirement to complete within 56 days.
Important practical points: being Grade II listed preserves many period features but restricts external and internal alterations and may complicate future works. The sale process includes non-refundable buyer charges (Reservation Fee at 4.5% of the purchase price, subject to a minimum, plus a Buyer Information Pack fee and ID-check cost). The local area shows higher crime statistics and is described as deprived, which may affect resale and insurance costs.
This cottage is best for someone who values historic character, wants a move-in ready small home and understands the auction purchase mechanics and listed-building constraints. View carefully with your lender if buying with a mortgage and review the full auction pack before bidding.
