Originally three cottages and built around 1840, this unlisted character cottage requires some updating and a great opportunity to improve. Located in the quiet picturesque village of Iden within easy reach of the cinque ports town of Rye
Originally three separate cottages, built around 1840 which the current owners have made into one, Readers Cottage has the added benefit of not being listed. Located along a quiet country lane just outside this desirable village, Iden is a quintessential English village with a rich history and a tranquil rural setting. It offers a glimpse into traditional village life while being close enough to larger towns to provide additional amenities and attractions. The community spirit, historical landmarks, and natural beauty make Iden a charming place to live. Like many English villages, Iden has a village green that often serves as a gathering point for community events and also a pub, The Bell. Located on the Royal Military Canal, Iden Lock is a point of interest for those exploring the canal, which was built during the Napoleonic Wars for defense purposes.
Rye town is just over 2 miles away and is a popular tourist destination known for its medieval history and well-preserved architecture together with a variety of shops and restaurants.
Rail services run from Rye to Ashford International station with connections to London St Pancras in about 37 minutes.

The M20 can be joined at Ashford with links to London, the coast and other motorway networks.
