2 bed cottage for sale

Winser Road, Rolvenden Layne TN17

This delightful three storey, two double bedroom cottage, brimming with character, would make the most wonderful permanent or second home, holiday cottage or investment opportunity. The stylish accommodation includes a warm and welcoming sitting room with wood burner, a charming bespoke country style kitchen, a cosy breakfast room that opens onto the garden, two good size double bedrooms with built-in storage and a very generous traditional style bathroom with claw foot bath.

This property also benefits from a surprisingly long, pretty, cottage style garden, at the end of which is a purpose built timber outbuilding. Although currently used as a hobby room, this useful additional space could be utilised in a number of different ways, including as a home office, artist studio, writing retreat or for the more active, a gym.

Viewing is highly recommended in order to appreciate this lovely period cottage and its superb location.

Location

Situation: The pretty rural hamlet of Rolvenden Layne, with its renowned gastro pub, is in the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, surrounded by wonderful unspoilt countryside, and only 13 miles from the coast. The village of Rolvenden is 1 mile away and has a general store and post office, a weekly farmers’ market, a number of active clubs, a church and two public houses. Tenterden (4 miles) and Rye (10 miles) provide extensive shopping, health and leisure facilities. A wide selection of educational opportunities exist locally at both primary and secondary levels in the state and private sectors. Railway stations at Staplehurst, Headcorn and Ashford provide good commuter links into London with the high speed link from Ashford to London.

Sitting Room (3.71m x 3.10m)

The welcoming, deceptively spacious sitting room with its oak floor, exposed brick fireplace and wood burner exudes warmth, and is a delightful place to spend cosy evenings. A large built-in cupboard to side of the fireplace houses the boiler. Exposed beams have been cleverly used to divide and connect this lounge space from the kitchen behind.

Kitchen (4.24m x 2.41m)

The country style kitchen with slate floor, butler sink, Range cooker and cream coloured bespoke units with woodblock worktops, fits perfectly with the character of the cottage. A window to the rear gives lovely views over the pretty garden to the rear. Integrated dishwasher. Underneath the staircase to the first floor, is space for a washing machine and free standing fridge/freezer. Door to breakfast room.

Breakfast Room (3.05m x 1.55m)

This cosy space is perfect as a breakfast area or dining room. Stable door onto patio and garden.

Landing

Stairs from the kitchen lead up to a small landing which gives access to the main bedroom and family bathroom. A further set of stairs leads up to the second bedroom in the attic.

Bedroom 1 (4.11m x 3.10m)

This charming double bedroom is a very calming place to relax at the end of a long day. Exposed brick fireplace with built-in cupboards to both sides, one of which houses the hot water cylinder.

Bathroom (2.57m x 2.49m)

A most generous, traditional style bathroom comprising: Free standing claw foot bath; pedestal wash basin; low level WC. Room for free standing storage and furniture. Oak floor.

Bedroom 2 Second Floor (3.78m x 3.51m)

A surprisingly spacious bedroom, currently set up with twin beds. Built-in wardrobe. A window to the side gives lovely views over the lane in which the cottage sits. Nb: Some restricted head height to this floor.

Outside

A white picket fence with hinged gate takes you through to the front of the property where there is a pretty garden area. To the side of the house, a path leads you through to a beautiful, mature, south west facing cottage garden which is enclosed by natural hedging and is completely in keeping with the character of the house. A patio at the back of the cottage makes a lovely place to sit, eat and relax. To the end of the garden is a purpose built timber outbuilding with storage area, power and light, currently used as a hobby room. This would, however, make the perfect home office for anyone needing to work from home. To the front of the outbuildings is a further gravelled patio area and to the side, raised beds for growing fruit and vegetables.
