Foads Lane, Cliffsend, CT12

Beautifully Renovated Grade II Listed 18th Century Cottage in Cliffsend

OFFERED WITH NO FORWARD CHAIN - Welcome to Foads Lane and this exquisitely renovated cottage in the picturesque village of Cliffsend. Having previously marketed this property, we've had the privilege of witnessing its remarkable transformation under the careful stewardship of the current owners, who purchased it through our agency.

Dating back to 1737, this characterful property, once part of 'Laburnum Cottages', has been lovingly restored to blend period charm with modern comfort. Originally built as a tied cottage for farm workers owned by the Yates family, it stands as one of the oldest dwellings in Cliffsend, steeped in local history and tales of smugglers utilising its cellars.

The renovation has breathed new life into this historic home while preserving its unique features. Entering through the welcoming porch, you're greeted by a spacious living room showcasing a beautifully restored inglenook fireplace. The stunning dining room features a beamed ceiling and open fire, perfectly balancing rustic charm with contemporary elegance. The kitchen has been completely modernised with sleek units, wooden worktops, and integrated appliances, making it both stylish and functional.

The ground floor also boasts a fully refurbished bathroom with contemporary fittings and stylish pink tiling, adding a touch of luxury to this historic home. For additional storage, the property benefits from a cellar, maintaining the cottage's connection to its intriguing past.

Ascending the stairs, you'll find two generously sized bedrooms and a landing area, all beautifully renovated to provide comfortable and serene sleeping spaces. Throughout the property, the renovation has enhanced its charm while improving functionality for modern living, with features like exposed wooden beams and a blend of traditional quarry tile and wooden flooring.

Outside, the property offers a gravelled driveway providing off-road parking, and an extensive rear garden extending approximately 110 feet in length, presenting a wealth of opportunities for green-fingered enthusiasts or those dreaming of a private oasis.

Situated less than a mile from Pegwell Bay, this property offers the perfect blend of rural tranquillity and coastal proximity. It's an ideal home for those seeking to embrace the rich tapestry of Kentish village life while enjoying the comforts of a thoughtfully modernised period property.

With its fascinating history and sympathetic renovation, this cottage offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of local heritage, reimagined for contemporary living.
