House For Sale £575,000
A Grade II listed cottage of much charm and character centrally located in this sought after village * Cranbrook School catchment area *
Tudor Cottage is a delightful cottage providing characterful and welcoming accommodation in a desirable central village location. A former toll house, this Grade II listed property was designed by notable English architect George Devey in the Vernacular Revival Style circa 1870. With pretty gabled elevations and leaded light windows, the cottage retains a variety of attractive period features inside and out.
Entry to the property is through an oak framed loggia into a good sized and versatile reception hall. In the sitting room, the inglenook fireplace takes centre stage, housing a wood burning stove creating a lovely focal point. The dining room has an attractive duck’s nest fireplace and could be utilized as a bedroom, especially as there is also a ground floor shower room. The well appointed kitchen/breakfast room has a range of neutrally toned cabinets with granite worktops plus a gas fired Aga, Bosch oven and washing machine. Upstairs are two part vaulted double bedrooms one of which benefits from an en suite shower room.
The pretty garden lies mainly to the rear and is laid to lawn bordered by a range of flowering shrubs and mature plants encompassed by picket fencing. There is a summer house providing a delightful spot to enjoy the outlook. Through a rose covered pergola, you’ll find a brick built detached garage and private parking on the drive.
