Set in the heart of the North Downs, this Grade II listed two-bedroom cottage sits on about 0.4 acres and commands uninterrupted rural views. The building retains strong period character — exposed beams, an inglenook fireplace and traditional joinery — but requires a full renovation throughout. The plot is a major asset, with mature gardens, an outbuilding and an option to buy a further 3.4 acres in two separate lots.
The listing is offered chain free and presents clear scope for a sympathetic restoration or a conversion-led project that enhances the cottage while protecting its historic fabric. Practical considerations include oil-fired central heating, a private cess pit drainage system, and double glazing of unknown age. The property is remote and peaceful but has very slow broadband and no mobile signal on site, which will affect modern living or short-term rental potential without investment in connectivity.
Buyers should note the Grade II listed status will restrict alterations and may increase costs and timescales for works. A sale condition requires a stock fence to be erected within four weeks of completion if additional land is purchased. Best and Final offers are requested by Monday 6th October. For those prepared to manage listed-building requirements, the spacious plot, outlook and proximity to good local schools make this an attractive countryside project with long-term upside.
