Description
This Grade II listed three-bedroom cottage in Flimwell was formed from part of an historic farmhouse, with records dating to 1640 and possibly earlier origins. The listing describes it as needing updating. It stands on just under half an acre and includes a double cart lodge. The adjoining No. 1 is also available for sale, offering the possibility of acquiring both parts of the former farmhouse, subject to verification of the arrangement and any relevant consents.
The property is on the edge of Flimwell, within a short drive of Ticehurst and Hawkhurst. Wadhurst and Stonegate stations provide services to London Charing Cross and Cannon Street. Royal Tunbridge Wells offers a wider range of shops, leisure facilities and restaurants, while a number of schools are listed in the surrounding area. The property is Grade II listed and has no EPC rating stated.

75out of 100
Grade BGood opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
This Grade II listed cottage has a distinctive historic feel, with exposed beams, a large fireplace opening and a generous garden of just under half an acre, plus a double cart lodge. The interiors are usable but old-fashioned, giving scope for a light cosmetic refresh; the kitchen could be refreshed to suit rather than assumed to need full replacement, while the photographed bathroom already looks more recent.
At £550,000, the asking price works out at about £352 per sq ft, around 21% below the local average of £444 per sq ft — a strong price advantage for acquiring a character property with these grounds and outbuildings. The indicative renovation range is £5,500–£18,000, so this is a relatively contained project rather than a major overhaul.
Key opportunities
- Refresh the old-fashioned interior finishes while retaining and highlighting the exposed beams and historic character.
- Make the most of the just-under-half-acre garden, established planting, patio and double cart lodge.
- Acquire at an asking price around 21% below the local average per square foot.
