Description

This unlisted character cottage offers potential to restore with a thoughtful upgrade -- Sue Savva, Tenterden Homes

#TheGardenOfEngland

Originally three cottages and built around 1840, this unlisted character cottage requires some updating and a great opportunity to improve. Located in the quiet picturesque village of Iden within easy reach of the cinque ports town of Rye

Originally three separate cottages, built around 1840 which the current owners have made into one, Readers Cottage has the added benefit of not being listed. Located along a quiet country lane just outside this desirable village, Iden is a quintessential English village with a rich history and a tranquil rural setting. It offers a glimpse into traditional village life while being close enough to larger towns to provide additional amenities and attractions. The community spirit, historical landmarks, and natural beauty make Iden a charming place to live. Like many English villages, Iden has a village green that often serves as a gathering point for community events and also a pub, The Bell. Located on the Royal Military Canal, Iden Lock is a point of interest for those exploring the canal, which was built during the Napoleonic Wars for defense purposes.

Rye town is just over 2 miles away and is a popular tourist destination known for its medieval history and well-preserved architecture together with a variety of shops and restaurants.

Rail services run from Rye to Ashford International station with connections to London St Pancras in about 37 minutes.

The area is well served by a selection of schools, both state and private, for children of all ages, including, Vinehall at Robertsbridge, Claremont at Bodiam, Marlborough House and Saint Ronans at Hawkhurst, Benenden, Ashford and Battle Abbey Schools.

The M20 can be joined at Ashford with links to London, the coast and other motorway networks.

Readers Cottage is an attractive four bedroom detached property with feature white cladding above brickwork. The cottage is now in need of modernisation and refurbishment and comes with garage, off road parking for two vehicles and good size private enclosed garden. The house is situated in the picturesque village of Iden, about 10 minutes from the historical town of Rye.

On the ground floor there is a utility area, kitchen, snug and separate dining room and spacious living room and open fireplaces as well as a woodburning stove. Garden access is from the dining room and utility room.

Upstairs there are four bedrooms, and a shower room. The main bedroom has a dressing room and ensuite. The fourth bedroom is currently used as a study.

A real feature of the property are the private enclosed gardens to both the front and rear.
