Cork Wood Cottage is a substantial five-bedroom semi-detached home (circa 2,200 sq ft) set on a very large plot in peaceful Brenchley. The house offers generous living space including a large living room with fireplace, open-plan kitchen/diner, study, utility room and a second-floor bedroom plus attic — an excellent canvas for a buyer wanting to create a long-term family home. Double glazing was installed post-2002 and the property is offered chain free, with private driveway parking and a large rear garden backing onto mature trees.
The house requires full modernisation throughout; accommodation needs updating and there are signs of damp and mould in the attic room which will need attention. Heating details are inconsistent in the paperwork: an oil-fired system is mentioned alongside records of a ground-source heat pump and underfloor electric heating — the heating system should be professionally inspected and verified before purchase. There is only one bathroom for five bedrooms, which is a practical factor to consider for families.
Set in a prosperous rural area with very low crime, fast broadband and good local schools, the cottage suits buyers seeking countryside living, long-term value and scope for improvement. The very large plot and private setting offer potential to extend or re-landscape (subject to consents). Guide price: £750,000–£775,000.
