Winser Road, Rolvenden Layne, TN17

Grade II Listed, this 3 double bedroom property can only be described as the epitome of a quintessentially charming Kentish cottage. Downstairs, there is a good size cosy sitting room with snug area and wood burner, a bespoke country style kitchen with Rayburn, lovely dining area with huge inglenook fireplace and a useful boot room, which links the main part of the house to a separate outbuilding currently used as a home office, utility area and store. In the past, this useful additional area, which has a shower room, has been used for a home beauty business, and it certainly offers the potential as garage space, an annexe, holiday let or for dual occupancy, subject of course to any necessary permissions. This property also benefits from parking to the front and cottage gardens that are in perfect harmony with the character of the house.

Situated in the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, surrounded by wonderful unspoilt countryside and only 13 miles from the coast, Rolvenden Layne with its renowned gastro pub is the ideal base for anyone looking for a welcoming rural retreat, and yet is just a short drive from the village of Rolvenden and the historic Cinque Port towns of Tenterden and Rye with all their many amenities, making it a peaceful, but very convenient place to live.

Outbuilding (see floor plan for dimensions)

This building is divided into a number of different spaces. To the front is a room currently used as a store, but which has in the past been used as a treatment room for a beauty business. As such, there are two radiators and a window to the side. Double doors at the front mean that this space could be used for garaging. The remaining space consists of a separate shower room, utility area where there is storage, a sink and space for a washing machine and dryer, and to the rear, a home office area which has lovely views over the garden and double doors that open out onto it.
