Bluebell cottage, formerly a National Trust Property, is a newly renovated 3 bedroom semi-detached cottage on Sissinghurst High Street. Sissinghurst, ideally situated within the Cranbrook Grammar school Catchment Area is a beautiful and historic village with a church, an independent local grocery shop, restaurant and pub.

The house has been modernised with an incredible open plan reception room with ample space for a dining table and sitting room, flooded with light from the velux windows above and the paned wall to the rear with a ‘stable’ door leading to the private courtyard and the annexe and garage.
There are two double bedrooms, the family bathroom and an office/ nursery within the main house. Through the brick courtyard there is entry into the outbuilding, converted to offer an extra bedroom/ living room and bathroom with roll top bath. This also gives access to the large garage with electric doors and access via the side path.

A pretty garden gate leads you through a brick paved entrance and the front garden with bright purple alliums, rose bushes and a red creeping rose growing over the brick porch. To the left of the entrance hallway is the large open plan living room with its woodburner. This leads onto a dining area and the kitchen. The fitted kitchen boasts light granite worktop and breakfast bar built in a u-shape making the most of the light afforded by the velux windows above and the back windows, looking out onto the private courtyard. The later extension of the kitchen and its fully fitted modern kitchen with Villeroy and Both ceramic sink and Quooker tap amongst many other sleek modern touches, gives this traditional cottage the space and light and comfort suited for modern living.

The stairs in the entrance lead up to the 1st floor where there is the main bedroom to the rear with its bespoke fitted oak wardrobes. In the middle of this floor is the family bathroom with its panelled bath, a central mixer tap and hand held shower attachment, built in shower controls with an over head rain shower and glass shower screen. Currently used as the home office the last room on this floor, with views to the front of the cottage could also be used as a nursery.
Climbing the stairs to the last floor is the 2nd bedroom with built in oak cupboards and shelving echoing those (by the same master carpenter) found in the Master Bedroom on the 1st floor.

The courtyard, to the rear of the kitchen has plenty of space for a table and chairs, ideal for making the most of outside living and entertaining. There is a side double gate which leads onto the side path. Rising a few steps takes you into the glazed patio doors of the outbuilding. The first room has been converted into a smart living room/ bedroom with timber flooring with its underfloor heating throughout. To the side of this room is a large bathroom with a roll top, claw-footed bath WC and sink. A door to the rear leads directly into the garage, which features plenty of built-in storage shelves. This space also houses the washing machine and dryer, along with an electric door providing access to the side path of the house. The garage offers ample off-street, secure parking, with enough room to comfortably accommodate a family-sized car, such as a Mini Countryman.

Subject to planning, the garage/ annexe offers excellent potential for conversion into a fully independent living space - ideal as a self-contained annexe for guests, a granny flat, or a lucrative Airbnb rental.
