Character cottage with south-facing garden and good commuter links.
Period character: exposed beams and inglenook-style fireplace
This well-presented two-bedroom period cottage blends original character with practical modern updates. Exposed beams, an inglenook-style fireplace and stripped wooden doors give the ground floor strong period charm while the kitchen/breakfast room and modern shower room provide everyday convenience. French doors open to a south-facing garden and a further raised garden area, maximising outdoor light and usable space for a property of this size.
The layout suits a first-time buyer or small family seeking generous reception rooms and two double bedrooms in a village setting. Oak-style flooring downstairs and integrated kitchen appliances reduce immediate renovation needs. The home is freehold and close to East Malling station, offering straightforward commuter access to London.
Important practical points: the property sits on a compact plot with limited frontage and on-street parking; the building’s solid brick walls likely lack cavity insulation. Windows are double glazed but installed before 2002 and the roof shows some moss, so buyers should budget for potential upkeep. The EPC is D and the local area records above-average crime and relative deprivation, which may concern some buyers.
Overall, this cottage offers character-rich living and immediate move-in appeal for those who value period features and village convenience. It will particularly suit buyers wanting a ready-to-enjoy home with modest outdoor space, and those prepared to manage routine upkeep and possible future improvements to insulation and roofing.
