“Bugglesden” is a distinguished Grade II Listed residence, believed to have its origins in the Tudor and Elizabethan periods. This property seamlessly blends historical character with modern conveniences, creating an inviting atmosphere surrounded by picturesque grounds and grazing paddocks. Although it evokes a sense of a bygone era, the property is conveniently located near vibrant towns and villages that offer essential amenities, good schools, and easy access to transport links, including the Headcorn mainline station just a short drive away and Ashford's International station providing high-speed services to London.
Spanning approximately 3,700 square feet, this substantial home features flexible living spaces that present numerous opportunities for reconfiguration or expansion. Potential areas for development include extending at the rear by the kitchen or converting the attic space into additional rooms—ideal for those looking to infuse their personal touch while enhancing value (subject to necessary permissions).
Adding to its appeal, Bugglesden includes a spacious detached one-bedroom cottage—currently utilized as a successful holiday let—which offers excellent rental yield potential. Additionally, there is a versatile outbuilding currently functioning as a gym but could easily serve as an office or creative studio. Notably, two shepherd's huts are also on the property; these have been configured as a self-contained holiday retreat and could be negotiated separately.
Set in a semi-rural locale on the edge of Biddenden village, this residence benefits from local conveniences such as shops, tearooms, and restaurants—including a Michelin-starred dining experience—as well as access to recreational attractions like Sissinghurst Gardens and local wineries. The nearby historic town of Tenterden expands the range of amenities further. Furthermore, families will appreciate being within reach of highly regarded schools across both state and independent sectors.
The home itself exudes charm with its distinctive exterior and thoughtfully designed interior that welcomes you with warmth. The dual reception rooms are particularly striking with large inglenook fireplaces ideal for family gatherings. The generous kitchen/breakfast room features bespoke storage solutions alongside an adjacent utility room—a layout designed for contemporary family life.
Upstairs reveals four well-proportioned bedrooms including a principal suite complete with an en-suite shower room and dressing area. There’s also potential within the second floor's expansive attic space for future conversion into additional living quarters.
Beyond the main house lies ample outdoor space with beautifully landscaped gardens that provide multiple tranquil spots for relaxation. An electronically operated gate ensures privacy as you enter via the sweeping gravel driveway which leads to plentiful parking options.
