Set in the heart of historic Eythorne, this Grade II-listed mid-terrace cottage dates from the 1700s and offers well-preserved period character across two floors. The cosy lounge and separate dining room centre on a fireplace and a wood-burning stove, creating an inviting living space that suits quieter, village life. Two double bedrooms and a traditional kitchen make the layout practical for couples or downsizers wanting manageable, characterful accommodation.
The property is freehold and roughly 925 sq ft, with a small private garden for morning coffee or simple planting. Mains gas boiler and radiators provide modern heating alongside the wood-burning stove. Broadband is fast and local amenities, schools and countryside walks are all within easy reach, reinforcing the village-at-heart lifestyle.
Important practical points: the Grade II listing protects many historic features but will restrict certain alterations and can complicate consent for works. The building is constructed of solid brick with no assumed cavity insulation, so thermal upgrades will need specialist sympathetic approaches. Early inspections of services and a conservation-aware renovation plan are advisable for buyers intending to alter the property.
This cottage will suit buyers seeking character and a compact, low-maintenance home in a sought-after village rather than those wanting a fully modernised, low-effort property. Viewing is recommended for anyone attracted to historic charm and a central village location.
