Palmeira Cottage, Main Street, Charlton

Palmeira Cottage is a beautifully renovated two-bedroom semi-detached character cottage, believed to date from around 1900 or earlier and offering an appealing blend of period charm and contemporary styling.

Arranged over three floors, the property has undergone an extensive programme of improvements during 2026, thoughtfully modernising the accommodation while retaining the original features that give the cottage its character.

The ground floor comprises a generous living room, kitchen and bathroom. Exposed beams add warmth and personality to the living space, while the well-proportioned rooms create a greater sense of space than may be expected from a traditional cottage.

The kitchen has been significantly reconfigured, with the former dividing walls between the kitchen, dining area and utility room removed to create a much larger and more practical space. A new Howdens kitchen has been installed, complete with an integrated washing machine and tumble dryer, alongside a new oven and hob.

The bathroom was replaced in January 2026, creating a smart and contemporary space, while the ground floor has also benefited from newly levelled floors and new flooring throughout. Lighting has been upgraded across the property, with new carpets fitted to the stairs and bedroom as part of the renovation.

The first floor is home to one of the two well-proportioned bedrooms, while the second bedroom occupies the top floor, giving each sleeping space a lovely sense of separation.

Further improvements include a boiler installed in March 2024, which benefits from a seven-year warranty and was most recently serviced in February 2026.

To the front of the cottage is a lovely garden with an area of lawn and a patio, providing an attractive outdoor space for seating, dining and enjoying the village surroundings.

A useful outdoor shed provides additional storage.

There is shared access with the adjoining property to reach both the front and rear of the cottage, while parking is available on street.

Palmeira Cottage sits within the picturesque village of Charlton, offering an attractive setting with a welcoming community feel.

The village is home to a popular pub and has a traditional rural character, making it an appealing setting for those looking to enjoy village life.

With its characterful surroundings, friendly atmosphere and combination of countryside living with accessibility to the surrounding area, Charlton provides a lovely backdrop for this beautifully renovated cottage.
