Description

This charming five-bedroom cottage, steeped in history and character, presents an exceptional opportunity for renovation and enhancement. Having been predominantly used as a family home and local general store since 1914, the property maintains many original features but is in need of sympathetic modernization to unlock its true potential. The spacious three-storey layout offers flexible living options, making it ideal for families or those seeking a unique residence. The inviting exterior and picturesque garden complement the stunning views over the village green and church, creating a serene retreat that still benefits from proximity to local amenities. With historic towns like Cranbrook and Tenterden just a short drive away, this location strikes a perfect balance between rural charm and modern convenience. Noteworthy additional spaces include a large workshop, an outside WC, storage room, and an intriguing two-storey barn with development potential (subject to necessary permissions). This property is nestled within the esteemed Cranbrook School Catchment Area, further enhancing its appeal for families. Viewing is essential to fully appreciate the depth of character and investment potential this period cottage offers.
