KEY FEATURES
SUMMARY
Full of charm and character, this enchanting three-storey one-bedroom cottage offers a wonderfully versatile lifestyle opportunity, ideal for a single person, first-time buyer, as a stylish retreat or second home. Having previously operated as a successful holiday let, the property also represents an attractive income-generating opportunity. Originally the store for the village butcher’s, the property has been thoughtfully and cleverly converted to make excellent use of the space, creating a home that is both practical and full of character. The accommodation is warm and inviting, with an open-plan living and dining area centred around a wood-burning stove, perfect for cosy evenings in. A bespoke country-style kitchen adds personality and functionality, while upstairs a well-proportioned double bedroom with en-suite shower room provides a calm and comfortable retreat. A flexible attic space completes the layout, ideal for home working, hobbies or additional storage. Outside, there is a perfectly formed courtyard garden, perfect for morning coffee or alfresco dining, together with useful outdoor storage and the valuable benefit of off-street parking for one vehicle. Positioned within easy walking distance of the village’s amenities, the cottage also enjoys convenient access to the nearby towns of Tenterden and Hawkhurst, offering a wider range of shops, cafés and services just a short drive away.
