Village home with garden, garage and school catchment for families.
Charming 1750s unlisted detached cottage full of beams and fireplaces
Cherry Tree Cottage is an 18th-century detached cottage offering authentic period character with exposed beams, fireplaces and compact, versatile rooms. Set in an established, enclosed garden with a terrace, the house suits buyers seeking a comfortable village home within Cranbrook School catchment.
The layout includes two reception rooms, a study/third bedroom, kitchen with utility room, a ground-floor bathroom and a principal bedroom with an ensuite W.C. Off-road parking and a garage add practical convenience; the village location gives easy access to local amenities, countryside walks and a 50-minute rail link to London.
The property has clear renovation potential but is presented with limitations: modest overall floor area (circa 994 sq ft), low ceilings and smaller room sizes typical of period cottages, a single main bathroom and an EPC rating of E. Council Tax Band F means running costs will be above average. Buyers should factor in updating and energy-efficiency improvements.
For families wanting character near strong local schools, or buyers looking for a village home with scope to improve, this cottage offers a rare mix of period charm, garden privacy and useful parking. Its unlisted status allows more flexible alterations, subject to planning and building considerations.
