Laurel Cottage is a Grade II listed three-bedroom semi-detached cottage on Ashford Road in Bethersden, offering generous living space and abundant traditional character. Exposed beams, original internal doors and brick fireplaces create an authentic country feel, while an en suite and walk-in wardrobe on the principal bedroom add modern convenience. The house is chain free, ready for a new owner to move in and personalise.
The large rear garden is a gardener’s delight with established beds and room to extend outdoor living in summer. A detached double garage and driveway provide off-street parking and useful storage; the garage also offers scope to convert into a two-bedroom annex or AirBnB/office subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions and building regulations.
Buyers should note the property’s listed status and location in a conservation area — any alterations will be restricted and may require specialist consent, which can add cost and time. The home has character features such as low ceilings in parts of the living room that suit traditional cottage living but may not suit those after full-height contemporary spaces. EPC is exempt due to listing.
This home will suit a family or buyer seeking a country lifestyle within reach of Ashford’s amenities and good local schools. It offers a rare mix of period charm, a large plot and clear potential for sensitive improvement, but requires acceptance of listed-building responsibilities and planning considerations for major changes.
