Well Cottage is a quintessential 18th-century red-brick home set in the Kent Downs, offering generous living space and a mature, well-stocked garden. Original features such as inglenook fireplaces, exposed beams, mullion leaded windows and engineered oak flooring give the house strong period character and immediate kerb appeal. The layout includes a spacious sitting room, family room, kitchen/dining area, utility/WC, three bedrooms and a family bathroom across two storeys.
The property sits on a large plot with ample off-street parking, sun terraces, vegetable beds, a greenhouse and a pond — ideal for family outdoor life and gardening. Practical benefits include fast broadband, mains services and freehold tenure. Convenient road links provide straightforward access to Canterbury, surrounding villages and motorway networks for commuting.
Important considerations: the house is Grade II listed (detailed restrictions likely and will affect alterations), is dated 1731 (older building maintenance and repair budgets expected), and has a single family bathroom plus a separate WC. Council Tax sits at Band E, above average. The immediate neighbourhood is an ageing rural community and local area deprivation indicators are higher than surrounding locations, which may affect some buyers’ priorities.
This property will suit buyers seeking a character-filled family home or countryside retreat who value historic detail and a substantial garden. Buyers planning structural change or modern extensions should factor in listed-status consents and likely specialist repair needs.
