This quaint building, known locally as “The Old Corner House”, has a double fronted quintessentially English country property set back on on side and attached on the other, a heavy oak timber structure, which in Victorian times was the local village store, “Neves”, selling groceries and millinery. In more recent years, it has been a well known antique shop. Not only is the property located in a very visible position on the main thoroughfare through the village should anyone wish to reinstate it as a commercial business, but it has well-proportioned spaces and many original period features, a lovely cottage garden and off-street parking to the front and rear which would combine to make an attractive package should anyone wish to convert it into one large family home (subject of course to planning).
This property, which is situated in the beautiful High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, also benefits from being a short drive from the historic Cinque Port towns of Tenterden and Rye and their superb array of shops and amenities. The wild and wonderful Romney Marshes, Rother levels and coast are also just a short drive away.
