Character cottage with gardens, driveway and countryside views in sought-after Ryarsh.
Grade II listed to front only — may restrict alterations
Set on Chapel Street in picturesque Ryarsh, this Grade II-fronted cottage blends period character with updated interiors. Exposed beams, a working log burner and sash windows retain authentic charm, while recent high-spec decoration provides a comfortable, move-in-ready feel. The house sits on a large plot with gardens to front and rear and an off-street driveway — rare for village properties.
Internally the layout works well for families or those seeking flexible space. The ground floor offers a cosy sitting room and a well-proportioned kitchen/dining area leading to a sheltered courtyard. Two double bedrooms occupy the first floor and a versatile loft room (accessed by ladder) provides office space or occasional guest accommodation.
Practical points are straightforward but important: the property is solid-brick with assumed no cavity insulation, heated by an oil boiler (private supply), and the front elevation is Grade II listed which may restrict alterations and cause some consents difficulty. EPC is awaited. Low ceilings and generally compact room proportions reflect the cottage character and may not suit everyone.
This cottage will appeal to buyers seeking village life with good commuter links to West Malling and the M20, plus excellent local schools. It offers immediate charm with potential to improve energy performance and adapt the loft space (subject to listed status and consents).
