A charming character house and coach house, originally the village Butcher's shop in this popular Kent village
Listed Grade II, this character period property was originally the village butcher's shop and is thought to date from the 16th Century, with the Coach House to the side being a later, Victorian addition.
The accommodation is steeped in character, with an abundance of exposed beams and a large, inglenook double sided fireplace, as well as some later features, including attractive built-in cupboards to the study and parquet flooring in the sitting room.
Recently occupied as a long-term family home, this property offers lots of style and charm, but now requires updating and improvements. However, the layout itself is particularly good for modern day family living, with flowing reception rooms to a large, open-plan kitchen/dining room. Also, the principal bedroom is laid out with wardrobes and a good size en suite shower room.
The Coach House building to the side offers further potential as an annexe or as a separate dwelling with planning permission and listed buildings consent granted with the Tunbridge Wells Borough Council - reference 23/03116/LBC, with a sitting room pitched into the roof, and the option of an open-plan kitchen, with the bedroom and shower room below.
The parking is good for a central village house, complete with an electric car charger point and accessing a detached building combining a garage and workshop. This workshop has a high pitched ceiling, currently with storage, formerly being the abattoir for the butchers, so offering further potential.

This to me to has the feeling of quite a grand house, whilst on a modest scale. I think with the upgrading, this could be very special for someone looking to come into the village.
