Set on a generous plot with uninterrupted views over rolling Kent countryside, this three-bedroom semi-detached period cottage blends traditional character with practical family living. Ground-floor reception rooms sit nicely alongside a Shaker-style kitchen which includes an oil-fired Aga, plus a utility and cloakroom for everyday convenience. Off-street parking accommodates several vehicles, useful for visiting family and commuters.
Upstairs the three bedrooms are light and well-proportioned, served by a single family bathroom. The rear garden is lawned and landscaped with mature borders and a summer house — an attractive, private outside space for children and entertaining while enjoying the view.
There are some important practical considerations: the building is solid brick with assumed no cavity insulation and has secondary glazing, so improving thermal efficiency will likely be needed. Heating is a mix of boiler/radiators and electric, while the kitchen Aga runs on oil — factor these into running costs and servicing. Council tax is described as expensive.
This home will suit buyers seeking a tranquil, rural family base with strong transport links nearby; Penshurst and Edenbridge stations are a short drive away. With sympathetic upgrades to insulation and heating, the cottage offers significant long-term comfort and energy-efficiency gains while retaining its period charm.
