Compact listed cottage with countryside views — characterful, low-maintenance village home.
Grade II listed — restrictions and possible consent costs
A compact Grade II listed cottage in the heart of Rolvenden, this mid-terrace home offers immediate character and village living. The sitting room centres on an inglenook fireplace with a wood-burning stove, and the well-presented kitchen includes integrated appliances. The rear courtyard opens to pleasant views over open countryside, giving a surprising sense of space beyond the small plot.
Accommodation is modest but well laid out across two floors: a front double bedroom, a rear single bedroom and a newly fitted bathroom upstairs, with a ground-floor shower/utility room and useful built-in storage. The property feels cosy with exposed beams and low ceilings—appealing for buyers seeking period charm rather than large modern rooms.
Buyers should note this is a Grade II listed building. Listed status will restrict alterations and may complicate extensions, replacement windows or insulation works. The solid-brick walls likely lack cavity insulation, so heating efficiency is lower than modern builds despite mains gas central heating and double glazing of unknown installation date.
This cottage suits a first-time buyer or couple seeking a characterful village home or a rural bolt-hole close to amenities. The small gardens are low-maintenance; any buyer planning significant modernisation should budget for listed-building consents and specialist repairs.
