Summary
Set along a private lane shared with just six other homes, this delightful, attached cottage forms part of a row of three, originally built in 1912 as farm workers’ dwellings. With a handsome tile-hung façade and far-reaching views over open fields both front and rear—often dotted with sheep and spring lambs—the property offers a rare sense of privacy and rural charm.
Inside, the home retains much of its original character, with pine latch doors, exposed original floorboards and considered updates that blend seamlessly with the cottage’s heritage. The kitchen is a particular highlight, designed in a classic shaker style with solid stone worktops and views across the front garden. An inviting living room with a multi-fuel burner offers a cosy retreat, while the adjoining conservatory—now used as a dining room—features exposed brick and French doors that open directly onto the rear garden. Upstairs; two well-proportioned double bedrooms, each featuring beautifully preserved original floorboards, are complemented by a stylish family bathroom.
Outside is a classic example of a true cottage garden and a quiet, private sanctuary. Thoughtfully planted with native species, a flower meadow and fruit trees; mature fig, cherry, plum and apple trees attracting wildlife and producing lots of home-grown goodness. To the front of the house, an enclosed courtyard gives access to original stone outbuildings which have been sympathetically adapted to create a practical utility and a workshop space, alongside two off-street parking spaces.
This is a wonderfully authentic period home in a quiet, close-knit setting, offering the very best of country living—with views, character, and an abundance of charm.
Location
The cottage is just a very short drive of the hustle and bustle of popular market town of Cranbrook and all its associated amenities and facilities including a primary school, nurseries, a wide variety of independent shops, cafes, restaurants, doctor's surgeries, dentists, Nationwide Building society, a wine bar, a public house/hotel, and recreational facilities including parks, and a leisure centre. There is access to a number of local attractions including Cranbrook Museum, the town’s noted landmark the Union Windmill, and within easy reach of areas of outstanding natural beauty with local attractions including several vineyards, Castles, and Bedgebury Pinetum. The A21 and A229 road networks give access to the M25 for Gatwick and Heathrow airports, and the M20 to Dover and Ashford International Station. Staplehurst mainline station is about 5 miles and offers frequent services to London (the journey taking about 1 hour) and Ashford International. Set within the favoured C.S.C.A. Internal viewing is essential to appreciate exactly what is on offer, and a trip into Cranbrook is highly recommended….
