Summary - FORGE HOUSE HILLBOROUGH HERNE BAY CT6 6TA
3 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Charming three-bed cottage near Reculver walks and local school.
Grade II listed cottage with original inglenook fireplace
Forge House is a Grade II listed three-bedroom cottage offering genuine period character close to the Kent coast. The house retains original features such as an inglenook fireplace with a wood-burning stove and sash-style windows, creating a cosy, cottage feel. A generous living room and conservatory provide flexible ground-floor living while the compact kitchen and traditional layout suit buyers seeking charm over open-plan living.
The rear garden is a private, sheltered space with patio, lawn, large shed, workshop and log store—ideal for family outdoor time or hobby storage. Off-street parking and a partially converted garage (work-from-home area with WC and shower) add practical usefulness, especially for coastal living where storage and utility rooms are valued.
Important practical points: the property’s Grade II listing will restrict alterations and could complicate extensions or major repairs. Heating is provided by a back boiler and radiators and the windows are a mixture of single- and double-glazed timber frames, which may require upgrading for comfort and efficiency. The small plot size and traditional layout limit scope for large-scale expansion.
This cottage will suit buyers who prioritise character, proximity to schools and coastal/countryside walks, and who are comfortable managing listed-building constraints. An internal viewing is recommended to appreciate the proportions, original detailing and the practical outbuildings that add value to this town-edge home.
