Cottage for sale in Winser Road, Rolvenden Layne TN17

Grade II Listed, this 3 double bedroom property can only be described as the epitome of a quintessentially charming Kentish cottage. Downstairs, there is a good size cosy sitting room with snug area and wood burner, a bespoke country style kitchen with Rayburn, lovely dining area with huge inglenook fireplace and a useful boot room, which links the main part of the house to a separate outbuilding currently used as a home office, utility area and store. In the past, this useful additional area, which has a shower room, has been used for a home beauty business, and it certainly offers the potential as garage space, an annexe, holiday let or for dual occupancy, subject of course to any necessary permissions. This property also benefits from parking to the front and cottage gardens that are in perfect harmony with the character of the house.
