Set on Cranbrook's historic High Street, this double-fronted Georgian property combines ground-floor retail potential with a spacious five-bedroom maisonette above, extending to just over 1,900 sq ft. The building dates from the 16th century with an 18th-century façade and retains period character including parquet flooring and a feature fireplace, plus extensive cellar storage. A private, sheltered rear courtyard provides a welcome outdoor space in a small-plot town-centre setting.
The maisonette offers flexible living over multiple levels: a fine sitting room, a modern kitchen with integrated appliances, two first-floor bedrooms and three second-floor bedrooms served by a single generous family bathroom. Heating is by mains gas boiler and radiators. Services include mains water, electricity, drainage and gas; EPC band E. The property is freehold and well placed for local amenities, schools and good broadband/mobile connectivity.
Commercially the ground floor presents a light retail or studio unit with large windows and strong High Street visibility — suitable for owner-occupiers who want to live above their business or for a landlord seeking mixed residential/commercial income. The building’s age and timber-frame construction mean there is likely scope for sympathetic renovation and improvement, but also potential maintenance and insulation work.
Important practical points: the property has only one bathroom for five bedrooms, council tax is above average, and the local recorded crime level is high. Buyers should expect conservation-area constraints and to budget for upgrade works (insulation, possible historic-building considerations and an EPC of E). For the right buyer this building offers rare High Street presence, substantial internal area and flexible revenue or family-use opportunities.
