Charming first home with studio and parking near Ashford and M20.
Freehold two-bedroom end-terrace cottage with character features
This freshly painted two-bedroom end-of-terrace cottage sits in sought-after Smeeth, a quiet village with its own primary school and easy access to the M20 and Ashford International station. The house feels welcoming from the moment you arrive: a cosy front lounge features an impressive fireplace while a large kitchen/dining room at the rear opens toward a sunny, well-kept garden — ideal for informal entertaining or relaxed family meals.
Practical benefits include off-road parking for two, a small detached home office/studio and freehold tenure. The outbuilding is handy for a home workspace, hobbies or teenage retreat, adding useful flexibility for home workers or buyers needing extra space.
Buyers should note the property is an older build (pre-1900) with solid brick walls and no known cavity insulation, so upgrading thermal insulation could be beneficial. The plot is modest in size and rooms are average to small, making this most suitable for a first home or downsizer rather than those seeking extensive outdoor space or large living areas.
Presented well and requiring mainly modernisation rather than a full overhaul, this cottage offers character, convenience and clear potential to personalise. With low local crime, good nearby schools and convenient transport links, it’s a pragmatic choice for first-time buyers wanting village life within commuting reach of London.
