The Plain, Goudhurst, Cranbrook, Kent TN17

Introducing this charming and characterful ground floor, one-bedroom apartment, thoughtfully converted in 2000. Located in the highly sought-after village of Goudhurst, it offers a peaceful setting tucked away from the high street while remaining within walking distance to all the amenities the village has to offer.

The property is situated within a lovely brick-walled communal courtyard. A feature of this particular apartment is the designated section along the front of the property and its own private patio area within the courtyard.

The accommodation was modernised and improved in 2024, boasting notable features such as a recently decorated sitting room with an integrated wood burner-style flame effect fire, wood laminate flooring, recessed ceiling dimmable downlights and French doors that open onto the courtyard. Floor-to-ceiling triple windows on either side flood the space with natural light and enhance the sense of spaciousness. Recently added colonial-style horizontal blinds complement the aesthetic beautifully.

Designed for comfortable, spacious living, the apartment includes ample electrical and usb charging points, with recessed ceiling dimmable lights fitted in the kitchen, bedroom and living room. The open-plan kitchen is fully equipped with hardwood work surfaces, a tiled splashback, an integrated Bosch induction hob with a filter hood, oven, Zanussi combined washer/dryer, Lamona dishwasher, and integrated fridge/freezer.
From the entrance hall, which houses a built-in cupboard containing the Combi boiler, access leads to the double bedroom overlooking the private patio. The bathroom features a newly fitted large walk-in shower, a white suite, close-coupled WC, wash basin, heated towel rail, and slate flooring.

The apartment benefits from double glazing throughout, a regularly serviced oil boiler, and modern radiators for efficient heating and a large private loft area. The heating system is oil-fired. A new double bunded oil tank was installed in Spring 2025.

Outside, wooden double gates open into a shared courtyard for apartments 1-4. The oil tank and wheelie bins are stored within an enclosed communal area.
