Scotton Street, Wye, Kent

Dating from the 18th century and found in the heart of Wye’s conservation area, Golden Square House is a charming Grade II Listed property. The Forge sits to the rear of Golden Square House and offers a great sense of volume with high vaulted ceilings. Both properties are detached, each with three bedrooms, and situated in arguably the best village in East Kent. There is a large drive with parking for two cars – a rarity for the centre of the village.

The house was formerly a shop and the forge previously the village pottery and a small factory. Both have since been converted into residential dwellings and, more recently, utilised as self-catering holiday accommodation and for short-term rentals, making this an appealing opportunity for investors.

Golden Square House: The property has two ground-floor reception rooms: the sitting room with a brick-built feature fireplace and the 21ft reception/dining room with exposed timber framing. To the rear, the kitchen is fitted with a range of base and wall units, together with integrated appliances.

Upstairs the bedrooms include the principal bedroom with built-in storage. There is also a useful store room, and a shower room.
