Charming Grade II listed cottage with countryside views and annexe potential.
Grade II listed detached cottage with abundant period features
Weavers Cottage is a Grade II listed detached cottage set on a generous plot in Iden Green, offering commanding views across rolling Kent countryside. Period features are abundant: exposed beams, an inglenook with a Rayburn in the dining room and a wood-burning stove in the spacious lounge create warmth and character throughout. The property totals about 1,066 sq ft with two double bedrooms and flexible living space suited to a small family or downsizer seeking village life.
The rear garden is private and beautifully presented, backing onto open farmland. A substantial garage/workshop (22' x 10') provides parking and useful storage and has potential for an annexe conversion subject to listed building consent and planning. Mobile signal is excellent, and Cranbrook School is in the catchment area, making this attractive to families wanting village living with good schooling options.
Practical considerations: the house is timber‑framed with assumed no insulation in the walls, secondary glazing only, and an oil‑fired boiler and radiators. Broadband speeds are slow in the area. As a Grade II listed building, alterations, insulation upgrades or extensions will require listed building consent and may be restricted and costly. Council tax is above average. These are material factors for budgeting and renovation plans.
This cottage will suit buyers prioritising period character, countryside views and village location who are prepared for the responsibilities and limitations of a listed property. For those willing to invest in sympathetic upgrades, the property offers genuine charm and scope — including garage annexe potential — in an affluent, low‑crime rural neighbourhood.
