Description

This beautifully extended end-of-terrace Victorian cottage is set in a peaceful rural position on the edge of Goudhurst. With charming views across open countryside, this characterful home has been tastefully modernised and extended to offer stylish and flexible accommodation arranged over three floors. The result is a perfect blend of period features and high-quality contemporary finishes, ideal for modern family living.The ground floor is centred around a welcoming triple-aspect reception hall, which leads to a oak-balustraded staircase.

The heart of the home is the open-plan sitting room and kitchen, with underfloor heating . The kitchen is particularly impressive, with chic cabinetry, timber worktops, a matching breakfast bar, and a stainless steel range cooker. Skylights allow natural light to pour in, creating a bright and inviting atmosphere, while practical ceramic floor tiles complete the modern look. Sound-proofed walls also ensure peace and quiet.

Upstairs, the property offers three well-proportioned double bedrooms, each with its own luxuriously appointed en-suite bathroom. Two of the bedrooms feature original fireplaces, adding a touch of historic charm. All bathrooms have been fitted to an exceptional standard by Porcelanosa, incorporating contemporary tiling, rainfall showers, and chrome heated towel rails. A well-designed utility room is conveniently located on the first floor, complete with built-in storage.

Outside, the gardens have been thoughtfully landscaped to make the most of the gently sloping plot. A paved courtyard lies directly off the kitchen, providing a secluded spot for al-fresco dining. Steps lead up through planted borders to a further patio and a timber-decked seating area, perfectly placed to enjoy views across the surrounding countryside. The garden is enclosed by mature hedging and also features a wooden shed for storage.

To the front of the property, a newly gravelled driveway provides parking for two vehicles, with further space available along the quiet lane opposite. Additional external buildings include a brick-built former privy and boiler.

Located well away from main roads, 1 The Retreat enjoys a tranquil setting on the rural periphery of Goudhurst village, nestled within the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The village itself offers a range of amenities including local shops, traditional pubs, an Ofsted Outstanding primary school, and the historic Parish Church of St Mary's. There are a number of local attractions nearby such as Scotney Castle, Sissinghurst Gardens, Bedgebury Pinetum, and Bewl Water, offering everything from walking and cycling to sailing and cultural events.

Transport links are excellent, with Marden Station offering regular services to London Bridge, Cannon Street, Waterloo and Charing Cross in under an hour. The A21 provides quick access to the M25, Gatwick and Heathrow Airports, as well as routes to the Channel ports and Eurotunnel. The property also sits within the highly regarded Cranbrook School catchment area, with further reputable state and independent schools nearby, including Bethany School and Dulwich Prep at Cranbrook.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a stunning period home in a highly desirable countryside location, combining timeless character with exceptional modern comfort.
