Set in a tranquil rural lane between Goudhurst and Marden, this 18th‑century attached cottage blends period charm with everyday comfort. Exposed beams, an inglenook fireplace and a principal bedroom with a Juliet balcony create characterful living spaces for a growing family. The house has been extended to provide practical, family-friendly accommodation over multiple levels.
Practical benefits include gated off‑road parking, a utility room and an enclosed terraced garden that is easy to maintain. The cottage is within Cranbrook School catchment and a short drive from Marden mainline station for commuter links to London, making it a strong choice for families prioritising schools and transport.
Important considerations are set out plainly: the property sits on a relatively small plot and has a single family bathroom, which may feel tight for three bedrooms. Built circa 1700, the cottage carries typical period‑property maintenance needs and has an EPC rating of D. Council Tax sits at Band E, reflecting above‑average local charges.
Overall this freehold cottage will suit buyers who value character and a countryside setting with good local schools and transport links, and who are comfortable with the modest plot size and some ongoing upkeep associated with an older home.
