Summary - 1 WESTBROOK LOOSE MAIDSTONE ME15 0ED
3 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Characterful Grade II cottage with brookside garden and double garage — retirement friendly.
Grade II listed cottage with strong Tudor character and inglenook fireplace
This Grade II listed semi-detached cottage sits in the heart of Loose village, close to the Loose Valley conservation area and village amenities. The property retains strong Tudor character — timber framing, exposed beams and a spectacular inglenook fireplace — combined with a generous front and rear garden crossed by a small brook. A detached double garage with electric doors and private driveway is an unusual and valuable feature for this location.
The house is offered chain free and is well suited to over‑60s seeking a retirement home with character. Homewise’s Home for Life Lifetime Lease can reduce the up‑front cost; an indicative Lifetime Lease price is £350,500 (market price £530,000), with actual savings varying by age and circumstances. If you prefer, the property can be purchased at the full market value.
Buyers should note practical limitations: the Grade II listing will restrict alterations and may complicate repairs; parts of the timber frame have no assumed insulation; the house requires modernisation throughout. There is a single family bathroom and typical maintenance demands for a pre‑1900 property, so budget for upkeep and sympathetic repairs.
For someone wanting period charm, a roomy lounge/diner, riverside garden and secure off‑street parking — and who accepts the constraints of a listed, older building — this cottage offers a rare village setting with clear retirement potential.
