The Tower House is a historic property that offers significant renovation and investment potential. Dating back to the late 18th century with an eye-catching castellated tower added in 1904, this residence has deep roots in Tenterden’s heritage. The elevated position of the tower provides remarkable views over the picturesque Kent landscape, making it a distinctive feature that emphasizes both charm and character.
Inside, the Georgian architecture presents classic period details including high ceilings, spacious room layouts, period fireplaces, bay windows, sash windows, and picture rails. The home features versatile accommodation spread across four levels, allowing for various reconfiguration options to suit modern living. Notably, the original dual-aspect drawing room could easily be reverted to two separate reception rooms if desired. There is also a sizeable garden room featuring bi-folding doors that seamlessly connect indoor and outdoor spaces.
The property sits on beautifully landscaped grounds that serve as a tranquil retreat despite its central location. Current owners have maintained the gardens meticulously, showcasing an array of mature plants and trees including a noteworthy ancient mulberry tree and other specimens that add character to the outdoor space. The carefully planned layout incorporates designated areas for vegetables and flowers alike.
A substantial outbuilding offers additional flexibility with integrated garaging and storage options, while also providing possible avenues for conversion (subject to planning consent) into further living space or even a home office. The property includes off-road parking accessible via electric gates along a private driveway.
Tenterden itself is known for its vibrant community atmosphere and convenient amenities, such as supermarkets, shops, restaurants, and leisure facilities. Proximity to attractions like the Kent & East Sussex Railway or Great Dixter Gardens adds to its appeal—making it not just a family home but also an attractive option for investment given the area's potential for growth.
Nearby educational institutions cater to families with children of all ages, offering both local schools within walking distance and access to grammar schools in Ashford. Transport links are robust; Headcorn Station provides direct services to London within under an hour while nearby roadways link seamlessly to major routes including the M20.
In summary, The Tower House represents not only an opportunity to own a piece of Tenterden’s history but also serves as a canvas for future renovations or expansions tailored to individual preferences—perfectly positioned amidst both natural beauty and urban conveniences.
