CT3 1PR
3 bed 2 bath Detached
Renovated 17th‑century cottage with period charm, modern finish and large garden.
Three bedrooms plus mezzanine for occasional children's beds or storage
Rose Cottage is a well-presented late 17th‑century detached brick cottage recently refreshed throughout. The house combines period character — exposed beams, brick fireplaces and leaded windows — with contemporary updates: a new kitchen with integrated AEG/Siemens appliances, two new bathrooms, upgraded heating, plumbing and wiring, and a recently installed woodburner with flue. Solid oak finishes and American Mississippi oak flooring across the ground floor give the interior a high-quality, coherent feel.
The ground floor provides flexible reception space with French doors from both the sitting and dining rooms onto a large south/east facing paved terrace and lawned garden — excellent for indoor–outdoor living and evening sun. A practical utility room and generous off‑street gated parking serve everyday family needs. Upstairs offers three bedrooms, including a vaulted second bedroom and a large double with mezzanine level suitable for children’s beds or storage.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the property is freehold, on a sizeable village plot, (total area c.1366 sq ft), set in a rural, prosperous village environment with good broadband and average mobile signal. There is an oil storage tank on the side of the house; the pressurised hot water cylinder and combination boiler are in the loft. Flood risk is low. Buyers should note the cottage’s age and character mean some features are historic and may require sympathetic maintenance over time.
