An enchanting Grade II listed Victorian cottage, formerly the schoolmaster’s residence when the adjacent Old School was in use. Beautifully restored and sympathetically enhanced, this attached period home now offers an inviting living space of approximately 1,300 sq ft. The Old School House occupies a generous plot, featuring a landscaped private garden and a gated driveway.
Dating back to the early 19th century, the property showcases an attractive flint façade that complements the neighbouring former village school - now a private residence - and reflects the distinctive character of this historic Kentish setting.
The formal oak front door opens into a welcoming entrance hall. To the left lies a charming dining room with a wood-burning stove and timber-framed window to the front. A second reception room mirrors this space and also features a wood burner, creating an ideal setting for relaxation.
The kitchen/breakfast room offers an array of painted wall and base units topped with oak work surfaces and finished with classic metro tiles. This space is further complemented by a utility/cloakroom with ample room for laundry appliances.
Upstairs, the first-floor hosts three generously proportioned double bedrooms, each rich in character with ornate fireplaces and attractive windows. The main family bathroom includes a roll-top bath, separate basin and WC.
Outside:
The cottage enjoys an appealing plot, mainly laid to lawn and fully enclosed with attractive fencing. A gated driveway provides parking for several vehicles, while a patio area offers an ideal spot for alfresco dining.
