An opportunity to acquire a beautifully presented and thoughtfully updated, mid-terraced cottage in the heart of the village of Staplehurst

With stunning countryside views, this mid-terraced cottage in the heart of Staplehurst has been thoughtfully refurbished in recent years to a high, contemporary standard, while retaining its charming character. Believed to date from the late 1930s to 1940s, the property has been carefully enhanced by successive owners, blending sympathetic décor with modern updates. The current sellers have also installed an EV charging point to the front of the property. Arranged over three floors, the home features a principal bedroom on the top floor, complete with its own compact en-suite and views across the south-west facing garden, which backs onto Wimpey Fields in Staplehurst.

Ideally positioned on Bell Lane in central Staplehurst, the property offers easy access to countryside walks as well as local amenities, including village shops and Staplehurst Train Station, providing convenient links to London—ideal for commuters.

The property is set on the outskirts of the popular Wealden village of Staplehurst with its range of local amenities including post office, Sainsburys supermarket, primary school and mainline station providing commuter services to London Charing Cross, Waterloo, London Bridge and Cannon Street (approximately 55 minutes).  The County town of Maidstone is approximately 9 miles away providing a wider range of both shopping and leisure facilities.  The property falls within the Cranbrook School catchment area.

OUTSIDE

The garden is undoubtedly a standout feature of this already charming home. Its south-west facing aspect ensures it enjoys both afternoon and evening sun, making it ideal for outdoor living, especially when the French doors open from the Dining Room. A decked seating area is positioned at the far end of the generous garden, providing a perfect spot for entertaining; while there is no electricity at this point, it is well suited to a gas BBQ and relaxed evenings outdoors. The rear decking overlooks the Wimpey Fields, which does have a public footpath going through the fields but is mostly farmland. The back garden is also beautifully presented with rose bushes and well-maintained fences.

loser to the house, the garden features two well-sized sheds, both with electricity connected; the current owner uses these to house a tumble dryer and chest freezer. Stepping out through the dining room’s French doors, you are welcomed onto an attractive patio that enjoys the morning sun, helping to create a bright and airy feel throughout the home.

To the front of the property, there is a private parking space directly outside, complete with a modern EV charging point for electric vehicles.
