Set within Atwater Court’s beautifully tended grounds, this two-bedroom retirement cottage suits buyers seeking a low-maintenance, village-centre home. The layout includes a spacious sitting room, separate dining room and French doors opening onto a private patio — ideal for relaxing or hosting visitors. Two generous double bedrooms both have fitted wardrobes, and additional storage is available in a boarded loft.
The development is managed by Cognatum Estates, providing building maintenance, gardening, window cleaning, refuse collection and an on-site laundry. Resident estate managers and a personal alarm system give extra reassurance, making the property a genuine ‘lock-up-and-leave’ option. A nearby garage with lighting and electricity adds useful parking and storage.
Practical points to note: this is a leasehold retirement property with 109 years remaining and an annual service charge of £6,656 (above average). Council tax is described as expensive and the local crime level is above average. These recurring costs should be factored into affordability calculations.
In short, the cottage offers comfortable, secure retirement living in a picturesque Lenham setting — close to the market square, village amenities and pleasant countryside — but suits buyers who accept leasehold ownership and higher ongoing service and tax costs.
