Summary - BELL COTTAGES 2 MAIDSTONE ROAD PADDOCK WOOD TONBRIDGE TN12 6QF
3 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Period three-bed cottage with gardens and parking — ideal for families who love character.
Grade II listed cottage with original features and exposed beams
Bell Cottages is a Grade II listed three-bedroom semi with genuine character set in Paddock Wood’s prospering countryside. Arranged over three floors, the cottage retains period features — exposed beams, a log-burning stove and timber flooring — which give the principal living rooms warmth and personality. The open-plan kitchen/lounge/dining space will suit family life and social cooking, while the front, side and rear gardens offer outdoor room to relax and play.
Practical strengths include off-street parking, a decent plot, freehold tenure and low flood risk. Local schools (several rated Good) and basic village amenities are within reach, while the property’s modest footprint (circa 846 sq ft) keeps running costs manageable (Council Tax band D).
Buyers should be clear about material constraints: listed status means repairs and alterations require consent and can be more costly or restricted, which will affect extension or full modernisation plans. Broadband speeds are very slow, and there is a single bathroom — important for larger families. The house is best suited to buyers who value period charm and are prepared to accept conservation-related limitations, or investors/DIY buyers seeking sympathetic renovation potential.
In short, this is a characterful cottage offering comfortable family accommodation and garden space in a quiet hamlet setting. It will most appeal to purchasers who prioritise history and charm over turnkey modernisation and who can work within the constraints of a listed building.
