A Grade II listed terraced cottage dating from circa 1750, this carefully maintained home combines authentic period character with practical living. High ceilings and original features, including a working Victorian fireplace, give the sitting room and upstairs bedrooms a warm, historic feel. The open-plan kitchen/dining room opens onto an enclosed, east-facing rear garden of about 50ft — unusually generous for a village terrace.
The property will suit buyers seeking village living with good local schools and easy access to the High Weald AONB; Tenterden and Cranbrook are within a short drive. Mains gas boiler and radiators provide familiar heating, broadband and mobile signal are strong, and local amenities (store/post office, pubs, bus services) are on the doorstep.
Notable constraints are factual: Grade II listed status will restrict alterations and can complicate extensions or modernisation. The house is of solid brick construction with no cavity-wall insulation (assumed), and the EPC is rated E — upgrading insulation and services may be advisable. Internal space is modest (approx. 537 sqft) so the layout suits a couple, small family or downsizer rather than those needing extensive living space.
Overall this is a characterful, centrally located village cottage with an exceptional rear garden and strong schooling links. It offers immediate charm and comfortable day-to-day living, with clear scope and likely costs for sympathetic upgrading due to its age and listed status.
