Cobwebs is an enchanting Grade II listed 16th-century detached cottage set within approximately 0.28 acres of landscaped grounds. Creatively and sympathetically refurbished, the house offers over 2,700 sq.ft of versatile living space with period features throughout — exposed beams, inglenook fireplaces, bespoke joinery and original flagstone and terracotta floors. The layout’s east and west wings give genuine scope for multi‑generational living or for creating a self-contained holiday let.
The west wing includes a snug and dual-aspect kitchen/breakfast room with bespoke units and a double range stove; the east wing provides a triple-aspect sitting room, kitchenette/utility, ground-floor bathroom and an upstairs living area with a double bedroom — effectively two semi-independent wings. Outside there are attractive pathways, topiary-bordered planting, a divided garage currently used as a home office and storage, plus a useful 16ft outbuilding.
Practical points to note: the property’s listed status will restrict alterations and may complicate some works; broadband speeds are very slow; council tax is described as quite expensive. These are balanced by low local crime, a large private plot, convenient parking and a celebrated local school network and countryside location just south of Canterbury, with easy access to Ashford and high-speed rail links.
For a family seeking character, space and flexible living in a picturesque North Downs hamlet, Cobwebs offers rare scale and charm. Buyers should factor in listing constraints and connectivity limits when planning any modernisation or home-working needs.
