Spacious five-bedroom cottage with annexes, orchard and farmland views—ideal for families or rental income.
Edge-of-green location with far-reaching rear farmland views
Pear Tree Cottage is a roomy five-bedroom family home on the edge of West Peckham green, set within about 0.73 acre of established gardens, orchard and lawns. The main house offers well-proportioned reception rooms, a generous kitchen/breakfast space with AGA, principal bedroom with en suite, and flexible ground-floor rooms that suit family life or home working. A terrace and rear lawns open to farmland views, giving a calm, rural aspect and plenty of outside space for children and pets.
A notable practical benefit is the detached ancillary accommodation: a ground-floor annexe and a first-floor annexe (accessed externally) that provide immediate potential for guest use, live‑in help, holiday letting, or rental income. Off-street parking for several cars and an attached garage add convenience for commuters, and Tonbridge station is within reasonable driving distance for services to London.
Buyers should be aware of a few material considerations. The EPC is rated E and the property is heated by an oil boiler with double glazing installed before 2002, so energy efficiency improvements are likely to be needed to reduce running costs. The property uses private drainage (tank installed August 2023) and the ancillary accommodation runs on LPG — both points to note for ongoing servicing and costs. Council tax is described as quite expensive.
Overall this is a characterful, spacious family cottage with strong outside space and separate annexes, well suited to families who value countryside living or purchasers seeking rental/annexe income. It will particularly suit buyers willing to update services and energy efficiency to modern standards.
