- Three bedrooms in a period semi-detached cottage
Black Cottage is a characterful three-bedroom semi-detached cottage set on a large wrap-around plot in popular Horton Kirby. The house blends original period features — timber floors, a Victorian-style fireplace and exposed brickwork — with practical modern updates including a recently fitted roof (2024) and modern kitchen and bathroom. A gated entrance from Horton Road leads to a shingle driveway with spacious off-street parking and a private, sheltered garden ideal for children or entertaining.
The layout works well for a small family or couple looking for village life with good transport links; Farningham Road station is around a mile away and local amenities and green spaces are within walking distance. The property is chain free and freehold, which simplifies purchase for buyers wanting a quicker move. Practical extras include an external WC, shed and double glazing (install date unknown).
Notable constraints are straightforward and factual: there is a single main bathroom, broadband speeds are slow in the area, and the house sits within the Horton Kirby Conservation Area which may limit external alterations. The walls are solid brick with internal insulation, which could affect some refurbishment plans. Overall the cottage offers immediate comfort, kerb appeal and scope for sympathetic improvement while providing a peaceful village setting with strong parking and garden space.
