This three-bedroom detached cottage combines genuine period character with generous outside space — ideal for families who value privacy and gardening. Exposed oak beams, original fireplaces and a rustic kitchen create a warm, lived-in feel while well-proportioned reception rooms and a large loft room give flexible space for work or play. The property sits within Cranbrook School catchment and is set in just over 0.6 acre of formal gardens, orchard and productive kitchen beds.
The plot is a standout: paved entertaining terrace with covered cooking area, secluded inner garden, greenhouse, sheds, and an exceptional wildflower meadow. Driveway parking for at least four cars, EV charging point, and two garages (one with a separate office) add practical convenience for family life and working from home. Interiors include a country-style kitchen/diner with a converted electric Aga, separate utility, two bathrooms and oil-fired central heating.
Buyers should note some practical limitations: heating and hot water are oil-fuelled and the broadband speeds are reported as slow. Council tax is described as expensive. The house has double glazing and an alarm, but prospective purchasers must verify services, measurements and any planning consents for the loft/garage uses. Overall this is a rare countryside home for those wanting character, space for hobbies and strong local schools nearby.
