This Grade II listed two-bedroom cottage sits in the heart of Bethersden, offering authentic period character with exposed ragstone, oak beams and a cozy log burner. Its compact rooms and low ceilings create a snug, characterful home suited to those who value historic detail and village life. The property benefits from gas central heating, part double glazing and part secondary glazing, and a generous rear garden with mature planting and two greenhouses.
The layout includes a front sitting room, central reception ideal for a study or additional seating, kitchen with dining area, and a large rear porch that provides useful storage. Upstairs are two bedrooms, one with a built-in airing cupboard and the other with a w.c., plus a single family bathroom. Off-street parking is provided by a long driveway and there is a fenced courtyard with side access.
Practical considerations are important: the Grade II listing will restrict alterations and could complicate extensions or certain repairs. Some fixtures and glazing are a mix of historic and secondary solutions, so buyers should expect ongoing maintenance to preserve the character. The cottage’s layout and room sizes are modest, better suited to downsizers, a couple, or buyers seeking a period home rather than someone wanting large, open-plan living.
Location is a strong selling point — a traditional village with good local amenities, sports facilities and a bus stop a short walk away. Ashford is around 6 miles with fast rail links to London, and local schools rated Good to Outstanding make this village appealing for families seeking a quiet rural base with commuter access.
