This attractive two-bedroom terraced cottage in Wateringbury offers character, a new roof (July 2023) and ready-to-move-in accommodation ideal for first-time buyers, downsizers or buy-to-let investors. Set on a quiet country lane within easy reach of local shops, the village primary school and Wateringbury station, the house sits on a small plot with a private rear garden and off-street parking via a detached garage.
Internally the property retains period character — exposed beams and a brick fireplace — and provides practical living over three floors: entrance hall, living room with wood-burning stove, kitchen/dining room opening to a conservatory, utility/lean-to, first-floor double and bathroom, plus a second double at roof level. The overall size is modest (around 711 sq ft) so rooms feel compact and the upper bedroom is within the roof space.
Positives include the recently replaced roof, off-street parking with a detached garage and an extra plot that could offer additional parking or storage. The cottage is presented for immediate occupation or letting, but there are trade-offs: some interior areas show dated finishes and will benefit from cosmetic updating, ceilings are lower than modern standards and the original timber-frame walls likely lack modern insulation.
Practical details: freehold tenure, mains gas central heating (boiler and radiators), low local crime, and a Council Tax band D. Early viewing is recommended for buyers seeking a character cottage in a sought-after village location with clear potential to enhance value through modernisation.
