Summary - Staplehurst, Kent TN12 0AD
4 bed 1 bath Cottage
Charming four-bedroom family home with original beams and large private garden.
Grade II listed — restrictions and potential extra maintenance costs
This Grade II listed four-bedroom cottage in Staplehurst combines genuine period character with practical family living. The house is rich in original features — exposed beams, inglenook fireplaces and an old pantry — set on a large plot with established lawns, terrace, sheds and greenhouse. The gas AGA (gas-fired, also provides hot water) and a newer thermostat offer traditional charm with functional heating.
The accommodation is arranged over multiple levels and suits families seeking character near good local schools and a mainline station to London (around 55 minutes). Rooms are comfortable rather than grand; there is one family bathroom and useful built-in wardrobe/storage in several bedrooms. A single garage is included but located in a nearby block rather than attached to the house.
Buyers should note material considerations: the Grade II listing preserves historic fabric but will restrict alterations and can complicate maintenance and consenting. The property has not been marketed since the late 1960s, so some fixtures and services may need checking despite the description stating it is in good condition. Council tax is described as expensive. Overall this is a character-rich family home with scope for sensitive updating, ideal for those who value historic detail and village life but who are comfortable managing listed-building constraints.
