Tucked back from Edenbridge High Street, Forge Cottage is a recently refurbished three-bedroom detached home that balances period character with contemporary finishes. The vaulted living/dining room with exposed beams and a log-burning stove is the house’s focal point, creating an airy social space for family life. The kitchen is modern shaker-style with integrated appliances and opens to a walled patio for easy alfresco dining.
The accommodation extends over a traditional layout: master bedroom and family bathroom to the first floor, with two ground-floor bedrooms and a separate shower room. All bedrooms have new carpets and neutral decoration, so the home is ready to occupy immediately – helped by the advantage of being sold chain free. At 923 sq ft on a small plot, the garden offers private outside space but is compact and low-maintenance rather than expansive.
Practical considerations are straightforward but important. Heating and hot water run from an electric boiler and radiators, and the main fuel is electricity; this can mean higher running costs than gas alternatives. The property has double glazing (install date unknown) and cavity walls that are assumed to lack insulation, and the EPC is F21, so buyers should expect to consider energy-efficiency improvements. Crime in the area is recorded as above average — worth checking local statistics if this is a priority.
Forge Cottage sits in a popular market town with two stations, good road links to the M25 and Gatwick, and a strong selection of primary and secondary schools nearby. For families seeking a characterful, ready-to-move-in home in a convenient location, this cottage offers immediate charm and future potential for targeted upgrades.
