Summary - 27 SMITHERS LANE EAST PECKHAM TONBRIDGE TN12 5HR
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Chain-free two-bed cottage with large secret garden — ideal for character lovers..
Grade II listed 17th-century cottage with original beams and inglenook fireplace
A charming Grade II listed two-bedroom cottage in the heart of East Peckham, offered chain-free and reduced for a quick sale. Believed to date from the 1600s, the house retains genuine period character: exposed beams, an inglenook fireplace and rustic brickwork create a warm, cosy atmosphere across three floors. The kitchen features solid oak units and marble worktops; a detached summer house sits at the heart of the larger garden beyond a courtyard and passageway.
This property will suit buyers who value character and outdoor space. The overall footprint is generous for a village cottage (approx. 930 sq ft) and the long garden is a rare asset for the area. Practical benefits include mains gas central heating, freehold tenure and easy access to local village amenities, schools and nearby Paddock Wood station for commuting.
There are important constraints to note: Grade II listing means consent will be required for many alterations and maintenance can be more costly. The house has solid masonry walls likely without modern cavity insulation and an EPC rating of D, so thermal upgrades will be restricted and may be expensive. Flood risk is assessed as medium; buyers should check insurance terms and local environment maps.
Other practical points: the plot is relatively small at the house frontage though the rear garden is substantial, broadband infrastructure is noted as full fibre not yet available, and the area records above-average crime — prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves on these matters before offer.
