Silver Hill Road, Willesborough, TN24

Welcome to this beautifully presented, two-bedroom Grade II listed cottage - brimming with charm and character, tucked away on a quiet road on the edge of Willesborough Lees.

From the moment you step inside, you’re greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere. Dating back to the Georgian era, the home reflects a time when distinct, well-proportioned rooms were created with everyday living in mind. The first space you encounter is the dining room. Generously sized and rarely found in modern homes, it comfortably accommodates a large table for up to eight guests, making it perfect for both everyday meals and entertaining.

Just beyond, the sitting room offers a cosy yet elegant retreat at the front of the house. A large sash window frames views of the garden, filling the space with natural light, while the fireplace — currently decorative — offers exciting potential for a log burner, further enhancing the cottage’s character.

Also on the ground floor is the shower room, tastefully refurbished within the past two years. It blends modern convenience with subtle nods to the home’s heritage, delivering comfort without compromising its period charm.

Completing the ground floor is the L-shaped kitchen/breakfast room — a space that balances practicality with style. Cleverly arranged and full of character, it offers ample room for cooking, dining, and gathering. In the warmer months, it truly comes into its own, opening seamlessly onto a large, sun-drenched patio. This private and secluded outdoor area creates a natural indoor-outdoor flow, and is your “go to” space for entertaining or simply unwinding at the end of the day.

Upstairs, the first floor offers two well-proportioned double bedrooms, positioned at the front and rear of the house respectively, each providing comfortable and peaceful spaces.

Externally, the garden is located at the front of the property — an unconventional yet highly effective arrangement. Generous in size, it enjoys sunlight for most of the day and offers a surprising level of privacy. There is also right of access to the rear for maintenance purposes. A driveway provides off-road parking for two vehicles, with potential for additional parking if required.

The location is equally appealing. Just a two-minute drive from Junction 10 of the M20 and within easy walking distance of local pubs, shops, a supermarket, and the William Harvey Hospital, everything you need is close at hand. With countryside and woodland walks nearby, the setting offers the perfect balance between convenience and rural tranquillity.

While period homes are often admired for their romance and charm, they don’t always deliver on practicality. Many can feel dark, compact, or require compromise — but this home is refreshingly different. It offers generous space, particularly on the ground floor, along with the everyday conveniences modern living demands.

This is more than just another property — it’s a home with individuality, warmth, and a lifestyle to match. A rare opportunity to own something truly special, where character and comfort come together beautifully.
