Description

Nestled at the end of a private drive on the outskirts of Goudhurst, this Grade II listed cottage offers significant renovation potential and is set within scenic gardens that provide sweeping views across the Teise valley. The property, dating back to around 1650, retains numerous original features, presenting a unique opportunity for those looking to restore and enhance a historic home. With three bedrooms spread over three floors, it already has a well-appointed kitchen and living spaces that could benefit from modernisation. While recent improvements have taken place—such as new flooring, upgraded bathrooms, and enhanced garden landscaping—the expansive outdoor space remains ripe for further development. The location is ideal, situated in the sought-after Cranbrook School catchment area and close to local amenities in Goudhurst and Cranbrook. Given its picturesque setting within the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this property promises not only a charming residence but also an exciting investment opportunity for renovations tailored to personal tastes.
