Set on Cranbrook High Street, Thyme Cottage is a Grade II listed 16th-century home that blends historic charm with everyday livability. Original beams, a grand inglenook with exposed brickwork and a bread oven create a warm, characterful interior. The long lounge and two separate bathrooms give flexibility for family life or a comfortable base for professionals.
The layout includes three bedrooms, a kitchen with adjoining dining area and a secluded rear garden framed by mature planting. The plot is small and the rooms are typically cottage-sized with low to mid ceilings, so the house suits buyers drawn to period character rather than grand, modern proportions. Secondary glazing and mains gas central heating provide practical comfort, while fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support modern working patterns.
Buyers should note material constraints tied to the listed status: repair, alteration and insulation work will require listed-building consent and could be costly or limited. The walls are solid brick and assumed to lack insulation; upgrading thermal performance will need specialist, approved methods. Council tax is above average and the small garden needs some maintenance to reach its full potential.
This property is offered chain-free and sits within strong local schooling options, making it attractive to families seeking central village living with historic appeal. For a buyer who values provenance, atmosphere and a central location, Thyme Cottage offers immediate character with clear scope for sympathetic improvement.
