Description

This distinctive property, known as The Tower House, showcases a rich history dating back to the late 18th century, with an impressive castellated tower added in 1904. Nestled in the heart of Tenterden, this residence offers unique architectural features and ample potential for renovation or investment. The elevated vantage point of the tower provides remarkable views across the Kentish countryside, making it a standout element of the home. Inside, the Georgian section of the property boasts classic period details such as high ceilings, sizable rooms, and charming period fireplaces. The flexible living space is spread over four levels, allowing for creative reconfiguration. The grand drawing room can easily be restored to its original dual-reception format if desired. A formal dining area with bay window seating complements this space perfectly. The kitchen/breakfast room features vintage pine floorboards and offers modern conveniences alongside traditional charm, including an Aga range and direct access to a balcony overlooking the garden. A cozy family room resides in the basement level, along with a guest bedroom and modern bathroom that could serve visiting family or friends well. On the first floor, buyers will find a master suite complete with dressing room and en suite shower room, plus three additional bedrooms—two spacious doubles and a smaller nursery-sized room—ideal for families. The property's outdoor spaces are just as appealing. A beautifully maintained garden includes diverse flora such as ancient mulberry trees and climbing wisteria alongside well-established vegetable gardens designed for abundant harvests. Notably, there's also significant investment potential within the substantial outbuilding that houses integrated garaging; its versatile space could be converted into additional living areas or rental units, subject to necessary permissions. Conveniently located just moments from local amenities including supermarkets and restaurants, this home also offers easy access to recreational activities such as nearby gardens and historical sites. With reputable schools within walking distance and excellent transport links to London via Headcorn Station—and quick access to major roadways like the M20—The Tower House stands out not only as a character-rich residence but also as an exceptional opportunity for those looking to invest or create their dream home in Tenterden.
