Orchard Cottage presents a unique opportunity to acquire a Grade II listed property rich in history, dating back to 1591. Set on approximately three-quarters of an acre, this cottage features a blend of charming original elements and potential for modernization. Inside, the dining room boasts a striking 16th Century inglenook fireplace and rustic terracotta flooring that extends into the kitchen — which, while functional, is ripe for contemporary upgrades. The reception room is bright and spacious with dual aspect views and an exposed brick open fireplace, perfect for creating a welcoming atmosphere.
The Victorian section includes a light-filled breakfast room and utility space alongside an office nook, catering well to modern living needs. Upstairs, three bedrooms offer varied sizes with built-in storage and lovely views of the grounds. Notably, the loft provides ample space that could be converted into additional living areas if desired (subject to planning permission).
With extensive grounds featuring a mature orchard, double garage, and workshop alongside picturesque lawns and a nature pond, there are countless possibilities for expansion (STPP). The serene location within Mugswell allows for quiet rural living while still being within reach of amenities in nearby villages.
This property has not been on the market for over 40 years, making it a rare find with significant renovation potential for those looking to invest in both an exquisite home and surrounding land.
