Willow Cottage is a Grade II listed three-bedroom character home in the heart of Pluckley, arranged over three floors and believed to date back to the 17th century. Exposed beams, wide floorboards and Dering-style windows deliver genuine period charm, while a stone feature staircase links the floors and reinforces the cottage’s historic identity. The principal third-floor bedroom is a generous space that could double as a second sitting room if preferred.
The ground floor offers a kitchen/breakfast room and a sitting room, with practical additions outside including a lawned garden, two decking areas, a large shed and an off-street parking space for one car. The property is chain free and sits in a popular village with a primary school, shop, pubs and a railway station; Ashford and Maidstone are both within roughly a 30-minute drive.
Practical considerations: the home has an EPC rating of D, main heating via anthracite boiler and radiators, and double glazing installed before 2002. Grade II listing protects historic features but will restrict alterations and can complicate repairs or extensions; buyers should expect constraints and possible specialist costs. The layout is characterful but compact, with relatively low ceilings and exposed beams limiting some modernisation choices.
This cottage suits buyers who value historic character and village life and who are prepared to undertake sympathetic updating rather than wholesale remodelling. It represents a rare opportunity to own a listed period property with garden and parking in an ever-popular rural setting, offered with no onward chain.
