Summary - KEEPERS COTTAGE SOMERDEN GREEN CHIDDINGSTONE EDENBRIDGE TN8 7AL
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Period character, green oak extension and sweeping rural views ideal for family life.
Grade II listed — historic character, may restrict alterations
Keepers Cottage is a beautifully restored Grade II listed rural house blending authentic Tudor character with contemporary living. A striking Green Oak extension houses a bespoke Woodworks kitchen with quartz worktops and an electric AGA, creating a generous social hub that opens to terraces and far-reaching countryside views. Vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, inglenook fireplace and original flooring retain historic charm across three reception rooms and four double bedrooms.
Set on a very large, thoughtfully landscaped plot inspired by award‑winning Chelsea planting, the gardens include an Indian stone and herringbone brick terrace and a Green Oak gazebo — ideal for family entertaining and quiet evening sunsets. The property sits off a private no-through lane, with gravel parking and turning area; informal lane upkeep is typically about £200 per year. The cottage is within comfortable walking distance of Chiddingstone village and the highly regarded Church of England primary school.
Practical points are straightforward but important: the house is Grade II listed, which can limit alterations and cause complications for future works. Heating is by an oil-fired Grant boiler; services include mains electricity and water, with private drainage via a shared Titan sewage treatment plant. Broadband is very slow locally, and Council Tax is in band G, so running costs are higher than average. Planning permission has been granted for an open-fronted garage, EV charger and front soft landscaping (ref: 25/01337/HOUSE).
This property suits families who value history, space and seclusion but want comfortable, modern accommodation. It will also appeal to buyers seeking a character home with finished, high-quality fittings — provided they are comfortable with listed‑building constraints, rural utilities and slightly limited digital connectivity.
