Set in the heart of Ticehurst village, Courtyard Cottage is a Grade II listed four-bedroom home that blends period character with sympathetic upgrades. The ground floor has been opened up for modern living, with underfloor heating throughout and a bespoke kitchen centred around a classic gas Aga, flowing out to a paved dining terrace and private courtyard garden. Two reception rooms provide flexible family space with exposed beams and good ceiling heights.
Arranged over three floors, the property offers versatile accommodation: two bathrooms, generous landings, and far-reaching outlooks from the upper floors toward surrounding countryside. Practical benefits include two dedicated off-street parking spaces, mains gas, electric and drainage, and planning permission granted for a garden office (RR/2024/678/P) — useful for home working or a studio.
Important practical points: the house’s Grade II listed status will restrict alterations and may complicate renovation works. The rear garden is a courtyard-style, small-to-medium paved space rather than a large lawned plot. The property is EPC exempt due to its listed status and sits in Council Tax Band E, which should be considered for ongoing running costs.
Overall, this is an attractive village cottage for buyers seeking characterful, well-updated accommodation with parking and outdoor entertaining space. It will suit families or professionals who value village living, period features and countryside views, but who accept the limitations and responsibilities that come with listed ownership.
