Description
• For Sale by Auction – T & C’s apply
• Subject to an undisclosed Reserve Price
• Reservation Fee applicable
• The Modern Method of Auction
This 1950s three-bedroom end of terrace cottage sits back from the lane in a wonderfully unspoilt semi-rural setting, looking out across open farmland that reinforces its believed origins as accommodation for local farm workers. Coming to the market for the first time since 1975, the property offers an increasingly rare opportunity to take on a full renovation project with enormous scope to reimagine, modernise and potentially extend, subject to the usual consents. The existing layout provides an entrance hall leading to a separate sitting room and dining room, a kitchen/breakfast room, rear lobby and ground-floor shower room, with three bedrooms arranged on the first floor.
The rear garden extends to over eighty feet and, though currently overgrown, offers a fantastic canvas for landscaping, along with an outbuilding tucked to the far end. To the front, there is an additional garden area with potential for a driveway. With open fields both ahead and behind that are occasionally home to grazing livestock from the surrounding farmland, adding to the charm and tranquillity of the setting.
Despite its peaceful position on the outskirts of Fairseat, the cottage remains well connected. The neighbouring villages of Vigo, Culverstone and Meopham are all within easy reach for day-to-day amenities, while Borough Green mainline station provides services to London Bridge, Charing Cross and Victoria. The M20 and M26 are only a short drive away, making wider travel highly convenient.
This vacant possession property is ideal for anyone seeking a characterful countryside home to update, reconfigure or enlarge to their own design. With generous outside space, delightful views and a calm, rural atmosphere, it presents the chance to create a truly idyllic retreat away from the pressures of everyday life. Families will also appreciate that the surrounding area is served by a choice of well-regarded primary schools in neighbouring villages, along with a range of secondary, academy and grammar school options within a short drive, offering practicality alongside the peaceful rural setting. We highly recommend viewing to appreciate the location, potential and serenity of this unique opportunity.
