This Grade II listed cottage dates to around 1800 and retains many original features, set in a quiet lane immediately beside the church. The house offers four bedrooms across two floors, a generous open-plan kitchen/dining room, a comfortable sitting room with a wood-burning stove, and a private, secluded rear garden. Private parking for up to four vehicles and a large overall plot add practical appeal for families or countryside buyers.
The layout suits everyday family life: ground-floor open-plan kitchen/dining, walk-in larder/utility and a downstairs shower room, with four bedrooms and a family shower room upstairs. The principal bedroom has fitted wardrobes; room proportions are generally generous for a cottage of this era. Local facilities include the historic village of Otford, good local schools and a rail service into London from nearby Otford station.
Important practical points are clear: the property is Grade II listed, which will restrict alterations and may complicate maintenance or extension plans. The building shows age-related weathering and will require ongoing upkeep and likely energy-efficiency improvements. Broadband is very slow in the area, and council tax is noted as expensive.
Viewed honestly, this is a character-rich family home for buyers who value privacy, period detail and a village setting, and who are comfortable with the responsibilities of owning a listed cottage. Early viewing is recommended to appreciate the garden, proportions and setting adjacent to the church.
