Get startedPear Tree Cottage is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Eastry, Sandwich, Sandwich (CT13 0DR). It has a recorded floor area of 126 m² (around 1356 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D.

At 126 m² the property is well over the postcode median (83 m² across 7 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2022.
