A compact, characterful Grade II listed cottage tucked down a cobbled lane a few minutes' walk from Sevenoaks High Street. The property blends original features — exposed brick, timber cladding and a working fireplace — with modern comforts in a modest footprint, making it especially suited to a single buyer or couple seeking central convenience and period charm.
The layout offers a cosy living room with fireplace, a modern kitchen, upstairs bathroom, one double bedroom and a loft/study room accessed from the bedroom. The rear courtyard is quiet and private but shared with neighbouring cottages. The house is freehold and being sold chain free, which simplifies a quick purchase.
Buyers should note the property’s Grade II listing: repairs, alterations or extensions will be subject to listed-building controls and could add cost or delay. The cottage is small at about 588 sq ft and has a tight, multi-story layout — limited storage and living space may not suit everyone. Local crime levels are described as high, which some purchasers will want to consider alongside the very convenient town-centre location.
Overall, this is a rare opportunity to own a centrally placed, period cottage in Sevenoaks with good digital connectivity and immediate access to shops, schools and transport. It will particularly appeal to first-time buyers or downsizers who value character and location and are comfortable with the constraints of a listed, compact historic home.
