“Not Perfect — But Packed With Potential: A Cottage You Can Truly Transform”
A Character Cottage With Parking & Serious Potential — For Buyers Who See Opportunity, Not Just Condition

This isn’t a polished, picture-perfect home.

And yes, it will require modernisation, it’s something far more valuable than that.

1 Jubilee Cottages is a home with genuine upside — the kind you don’t rush, the kind you evolve over time, and the kind that rewards the right buyer properly.

Set in a quiet, semi-rural stretch of Yalding, this cottage offers approximately 1,053 sq ft across three floors, with a layout that works today — but clearly has the scope to become something much more.

The current layout includes:

• A walk-through bedroom
• A downstairs bathroom
• For many buyers, that won’t work.

For the right buyer, it’s exactly the opportunity.

Because what sits underneath is a dry, solid, well-maintained home with:

• Modern electrics
• Gas boiler
• Structural footprint already in place
• This is not a risky project — it’s a controlled one with clear direction.

The Opportunity
This is where it separates itself.

• Approx. 1,053 sq ft already in place
• Side extension and rear space ready to be reimagined
• Clear scope to create a true 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home
• Potential to open up the ground floor into a modern kitchen/living space
• Flexibility to improve over time — not all at once
• You could spend heavily and transform it quickly.

Or you could live in it, understand it, and improve it step-by-step.

That flexibility is rare.

Character You Can’t Recreate
This isn’t a new build trying to look like a cottage.

This is the real thing.

• Original features including a historic bread oven
• A home that has been cared for over many years
• A genuine sense of warmth, history and practicality throughout
• A workshop and outbuildings with power already in place
• It’s the kind of property that, once improved, becomes something people hold onto for decades.

 Outside Space & Parking
This is where most cottages fall short — this one doesn’t.

• Off-road parking for up to 4 vehicles
• A generous garden that follows the sun throughout the day
• Space for entertaining, growing, or simply enjoying the setting
• Potential for further use — whether that’s garden design, workspace or additional structures

The Lifestyle
You’re buying more than the house.

• Walk to The Checkers and other local pubs
• Easy access to village (shops, tea rooms, post office)
• Train links via Yalding and Paddock Wood into London
• Excellent local schools nearby
• Surrounded by countryside walks, river paths and open space
• A genuinely friendly, established community
• This is semi-rural living without isolation.

Who This Is For
This is not for someone looking for perfection on day one.

This is for someone who wants:

• A home they can improve over time
• A property with clear upside and flexibility
• Space, character and long-term potential
• If that’s you — you’ll see it immediately.

 Viewings & Next Steps
Open Morning: Saturday 18th April
By appointment only between 10:00 – 12:00

Interest is expected to be strong. Viewings will be structured to allow buyers the time and space to fully explore the opportunity.

Homes like this don’t come up often — not because they’re perfect, but because they offer something better:

Control, flexibility, and the chance to create something exceptional.

If you’re waiting for a finished product, this isn’t for you.

If you’re looking for your next move — this might be exactly it.
