Located in a convenient and picturesque spot in Staplehurst, this Grade II listed terraced cottage dates back to the 1600s and is brimming with character. Positioned directly opposite a pretty village church and within walking distance of the mainline train station and local amenities.
As you step through the front door, you're welcomed into an internal porch – perfect for coats, shoes, and everyday essentials.

Clever storage options, including space beneath the stairs, help keep the space both practical and stylish.
To the rear, the well-equipped kitchen is tastefully finished and looks out over a sunny, west-facing courtyard garden — an ideal spot for relaxing or al fresco dining in the warmer months.
Upstairs, the cottage offers two bedrooms. The principal bedroom is impressively spacious with a vaulted ceiling, exposed timber beams, ample space for furniture and wardrobes, and even a wood burning stove in an inglenook fireplace for added charm and warmth. The second bedroom accommodates a double bed and wardrobe space and has views over to the front.
A modern bathroom is located on the third floor, blending contemporary design with the property's period features — the perfect mix of old and new.
