A CHOCOLATE-BOX KENTISH COTTAGE WITH BREATHTAKING COUNTRYSIDE VIEWS

GRADE II LISTED • CIRCA 1650 • APPROX. 0.25 ACRE GARDENS • PANORAMIC TEISE VALLEY VIEWS • GOUDHURST VILLAGE SETTING • CRANBROOK SCHOOL CATCHMENT

Tucked away along a lengthy private drive on the outskirts of the picturesque hilltop village of Goudhurst, this enchanting Grade II Listed Kentish cottage, believed to date from around 1650, is a wonderful example of a quintessential country home.

Set within the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the property combines centuries of character, beautiful established gardens and spectacular panoramic views across the Teise Valley – all while remaining within easy reach of village amenities and commuter connections.

PERIOD CHARACTER AT EVERY TURN

Beautifully presented and arranged over three character-filled floors, the cottage retains a wealth of period charm, with traditional fireplaces, exposed character detailing and a wood-burning stove creating the warmth and atmosphere expected from a home of this age.

The welcoming hallway leads into a delightful living room, where the wood burner provides an inviting focal point and the cottage's historic character immediately comes to life.

A separate dining room offers an equally charming setting for entertaining, while the fitted kitchen features stone flooring and partial underfloor heating, successfully combining traditional styling with modern-day comfort.

CHARMING ACCOMMODATION OVER THREE FLOORS

The first floor provides the principal bedroom together with a modern shower room and WC, plus the convenience of an additional separate WC.

Continue to the second floor and you will find further bedroom accommodation complemented by useful eaves storage and shelving.

The arrangement creates an appealing and individual home that feels every bit as special inside as its beautiful setting suggests.

A GARDEN DESIGNED AROUND THE VIEW

Step outside and one of the property's greatest attractions becomes immediately apparent.

Set within mature gardens extending to approximately 0.25 acres, the grounds have been carefully landscaped to take full advantage of the stunning far-reaching countryside views across the Teise Valley.

Whether enjoying a morning coffee, summer entertaining or simply watching the landscape change with the seasons, this is an outdoor setting that perfectly complements the character of the cottage.

The gardens also offer excellent practical facilities, including an English Heritage timber garage/log store measuring approximately 5m x 2.8m, a substantial workshop measuring approximately 5.5m x 3.05m, greenhouse and composting areas.

PEACE, PRIVACY & COUNTRYSIDE ON YOUR DOORSTEP

Approached via a lengthy private driveway with no through traffic, the cottage enjoys a wonderfully peaceful position surrounded by the natural beauty of the High Weald AONB.

Despite its tranquil rural setting, the property is just over one mile from the historic village of Goudhurst, which can also be reached via a public footpath – making village life and countryside living natural companions.

THE TIMELESS APPEAL OF GOUDHURST

The highly regarded hilltop village of Goudhurst offers an excellent range of everyday amenities, including a village store and Post Office, bakery, traditional pubs including The Star and Eagle, and the historic Parish Church of St Mary's.

More extensive shopping, leisure and cultural facilities can be found in Cranbrook and Tunbridge Wells.

Families are particularly well served, with the property lying within the sought-after Cranbrook School catchment area and convenient for a selection of respected state and independent schools including Goudhurst & Kilndown Primary School, Bethany School and Dulwich Preparatory School.

COUNTRY LIVING WITH LONDON CONNECTIONS

For commuters, Marden mainline station is approximately six miles away, providing regular rail services to London Bridge, Cannon Street and Charing Cross from around 57 minutes.

The nearby A21 also provides convenient connections to the M20 and M25, placing London, the South Coast and major airports within reach.
