Description
Charming Grade II Listed “Chocolate Box” Cottage with Panoramic Views, Gardens & Outbuildings
Tucked away along a lengthy private drive on the outskirts of the picturesque hilltop village of Goudhurst, this enchanting Grade II listed attached Kentish cottage, believed to date from around 1650, enjoys beautiful panoramic views across the Teise Valley and sits within the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Beautifully presented throughout and full of original character, the cottage is arranged over three floors and set within mature gardens of approximately 0.25 acres, offering a rare combination of historic charm, countryside tranquillity and modern comforts.
The ground floor accommodation comprises a welcoming hallway, leading to a charming living room with wood burner, a separate dining room, and a fitted kitchen with stone flooring and partial underfloor heating. The home retains a wealth of period features, including fireplaces and characterful detailing, which combine perfectly with tasteful improvements made by the current owners.
On the first floor, a landing leads to bedroom one, a modern shower room with WC and an additional separate WC.
The second floor provides further bedroom accommodation with useful eaves storage and shelving.
Externally, the property is surrounded by beautiful established gardens, which have been carefully landscaped to maximise the spectacular views over the surrounding countryside. The grounds include an English Heritage timber garage and log store, a large workshop, and additional garden features including greenhouse and composting areas.
The property enjoys a peaceful rural setting with no through traffic, while still being conveniently located just over a mile from the historic village of Goudhurst, accessible via a public footpath. Goudhurst offers a village store with post office, bakery, traditional pubs including the renowned Star and Eagle, and the historic Parish Church of St Mary’s.
Further shopping, leisure and cultural facilities can be found in Cranbrook and Tunbridge Wells. The property is located within the highly sought-after Cranbrook School catchment area and is well placed for a range of other respected state and private schools including Goudhurst & Kilndown Primary School, Bethany School and Dulwich Preparatory School. For commuters, Marden mainline station (approx. 6 miles) offers regular services to London Bridge, Cannon Street and Charing Cross from around 57 minutes. The nearby A21 provides convenient access to the M20, M25 and wider motorway network, connecting to London, the South Coast and major airports.
