The design-led interior sets it apart from its neighbours

This gorgeous, design-led two bed cottage in Kent – which has been recently renovated and filled with big, bold, block colour – has just gone on the market.

Located in the historic village of Goudhurst, near the desirable town of Tunbridge Wells and a 10 minute drive from Sissinghurst, the cottage covers 676-square-feet of living space over three levels. It also sits on the edge of an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

The property is for sale for £330,000 via independent estate agents, Aucoot, who specialise in design-led renovations.

What the property may lack in square footage, it certainly makes up for with clever use of space, as well as impressive and bold design.

Featuring two bedrooms and one bathroom, the semi-detached cottage is described by the agents as making the perfect bolt hole.

Entering via the front door, you're greeted by the cozy lounge with a feature fireplace, stripped wooden floorboards and space for two sofas.

The kitchen has a fun red and white chequered flooring, with a contrasting lime green kitchenette, featuring a sink and storage above. The cooker has exposed brick above it.

On the other side of the kitchen is another counter worktop and cupboard. Next to this is the door to the stairs.

From the kitchen, there's also a door leading outside to the pretty walled courtyard. Without a lawn or any large beds, it's easy to maintain.

There's plenty of space for garden furniture to enjoy the sun during the summer months, and makes the perfect place for a drink or alfresco dining.

The main bedroom, on the second floor, benefits from a large skylight on one side, making it a very light room.

The second bedroom is currently used as another living space but is spacious enough to have a double bed.

The bathroom features a shower over a bath with a glass screen, stripped wooden floors, and panelling up to the dado rail painted a cheering lemon yellow.

The historic and picturesque village of Goudhurst features pubs, a tearoom and bakery, shops and a 12th century church. A little further afield is the village of Cranbrook, home to The Small Holding Michelin star restaurant.

If you think this cottage could be for you, it's on the market for £330,000 with Acoot.
