Court Cottage, Postling

Court Cottage is a gardener’s delight with half an acre of gardens. Homes & Living took a look at the home, at the foot of the North Downs.

When the owners of Court Cottage moved down from London they couldn’t believe their luck. And it’s easy to see why.

The pretty-as-a-picture three-bedroom cottage, in half an acre of gardens, was once a timber-framed hall house, which was later given a Flemish brick exterior and a Kent peg tiled roof. Just opposite the church, it has lovely gardens and a charming catslide roof sweeping down almost to the ground on one part of the back of the house.

There is a sewing room with heavy exposed beam, vaulted ceiling and a panel window to the front overlooking the gardens and church.

The drawing room has an inglenook fireplace, bressummer beam and wood burner and through the drawing room is a 12ft square study which could be used as a dining room.

An oak framed, exposed brick and glazed conservatory has double doors leading out on to a patio. There is a utility room, a downstairs cloakroom and an internal door leads into a garage with two sets of double doors.

On the first floor is a bedroom with stripped wooden flooring, original medieval windows and a red brick feature fireplace. There are two further double bedrooms, also with stripped flooring.

Also on the first floor are the fitted shower room with walk-in shower and mosaic tiling and the family bathroom, with roll-top bath and separate shower unit.

The central heating system is oil-fired and there is electric underfloor heating to the ground floor and the two bathrooms.
