Detached cottage with studio, parking and approved extension planning.
- Detached two-bedroom cottage with front and rear gardens
Bluebell Cottage is a charming two-bedroom detached cottage in St Mary’s Platt, set on a decent plot with front and rear gardens and off-street parking for two cars. The house combines traditional character with practical modern upgrades: gas central heating, double glazing and a recently installed combi boiler (2021). A detached brick-built studio/home office adds useful flexible space for working from home or hobby use. The property is offered with no onward chain and planning permission in place to extend the ground floor and add a rooftop terrace (Tonbridge & Malling Council ref: 23/02045/FL).
Accommodation is straightforward and well laid out across two storeys: entrance hall and cloakroom, a sitting room with coal-effect gas fire, conservatory/dining room, and kitchen with integrated appliances and space for laundry. Upstairs are two bedrooms (main bedroom benefits from a walk-in wardrobe) and a family bathroom. At around 814 sq ft overall, the house suits a small family, downsizer or buyer seeking a countryside cottage within easy reach of Borough Green station (trains to London from c.37 minutes).
Buyers should note a few practical points: the property is a pre-1900 solid-brick build with assumed no wall insulation; double glazing was installed before 2002, and the driveway relies on access over a neighbour’s drive. The vendor has installed an air-source heat pump element alongside mains gas heating. The cottage will suit those who want a low-maintenance garden and the potential to improve energy efficiency or complete the approved extension to increase living space.
This home sits in a very affluent, low-crime village environment with good local amenities, primary schooling and countryside walks on the doorstep. It offers a rare combination of detached privacy, a separate studio and permitted scope to extend — attractive to buyers wanting character, a workspace and realistic renovation/extension potential without an immediate chain delay.
