This attached Grade II listed cottage offers a rare blend of historic character and practical space, ideal for someone looking to downsize without sacrificing room. The beamed sitting room with a large inglenook fireplace and separate dining room retain strong period features while the snug doubles as a versatile third bedroom or quiet study. Two double bedrooms sit on the first floor with further stairs to a generous loft area, giving flexible accommodation across multiple storeys.
Externally the plot is notably large and well screened from the lane by mature hedging. A substantial timber home office with power and hard-wired wi-fi sits in the garden, accessed through bi-fold doors — perfect for hybrid working or hobby use. The kitchen has L-shaped timber worktops, a gas hob and an adjacent utility/laundry area, with separate WC and bathroom for convenience.
Buyers should be aware this is a Grade II listed property; that status will restrict alterations and can make repairs or extensions more complex and costly. The house is older timber-framed fabric so ongoing maintenance should be expected. Broadband speeds are average and the garden is bisected by a path that also serves the neighbouring property (number 12).
Located about half a mile from Groombridge village centre, the house sits beside foot and bridle paths into countryside, with good local schools and low crime. Freehold tenure, no flood risk and affordable council tax add practical benefits for a purchaser seeking character, space and a rural village setting.
