Summary - 45 WHEELER STREET HEADCORN ASHFORD TN27 9ST
3 bed 1 bath Cottage
Delightful village home with modern updates and easy station access for over-60s buyers.
Unlisted 17th-century cottage with many original features retained
A charming unlisted 17th-century cottage sensitively updated for comfortable living, offering character features such as exposed timbers and a cosy lounge with a log burner. The interior has been modernised with a new kitchen and bathroom, an open-plan vaulted kitchen/diner and integrated appliances, making the house move-in ready for many buyers.
This small, detached home (approx. 578 sqft) sits within walking distance of Headcorn station, shops and local amenities — a practical choice for those who value village life with easy rail links. Off-street parking for two cars and a manageable landscaped rear garden with decking add convenience and outdoor space without onerous upkeep.
Important purchase information: the Home for Life Lifetime Lease option is available to buyers aged 60+ and offers substantial savings against full market value. The guide Lifetime Lease price shown here is £231,500 (typical illustrative saving ~33%) versus the full market price of £350,000; actual price depends on age, circumstances and chosen safeguarded share. If you are not 60+, the property can be bought at the full market price.
Be aware of a few material points: the home is compact with a single bathroom and modest room sizes, heated by an oil boiler (not a community system) which will need regular servicing and future replacement planning. Double glazing is older (pre-2002), and local crime levels are reported higher than average. These factors should be weighed against the property’s rarity, character and location benefits.
