The Tower House is a truly iconic property and has been part of the history of Tenterden for the last couple of centuries; the main house dates from the late 18th century with the addition of the castellated tower completed in 1904. From atop the tower the views across the surrounding Kentish countryside are outstanding.

The Georgian part of the house exhibits period features that would be expected of a property from this era, such as high ceilings, excellent room proportions, period fireplaces, bay windows to the front façade, sash windows and picture rails. The versatile accommodation is set across four levels and is accompanied by a wonderful garden room with bi-folding doors adjacent to the garden terrace, a substantial outbuilding with integrated garaging, an Edwardian greenhouse, a timber framed gazebo and garden shed.

The gardens are something to admire and a real surprise considering the property’s central town location. They have been beautifully maintained by the current owner and include many wonderful specimens such as a majestic ancient mulberry tree, a medlar, silver birch and a ginkgo biloba. The garden has been designed and expertly planted with climbing and rambling wisteria, rose beds, box hedging, evergreen shrubs and perennials. A walled vegetable garden is well positioned to experience wonderful levels of sunlight for growing an abundance of fruit and vegetables.

The outbuilding incorporates a garage, open log storage along the full length of the building and rooms above. The outbuilding could be utilised in a number of ways, and offers potential for conversion subject to any necessary planning consents.

As well as the garaging in the outbuilding the property also benefits from two further off-road parking spaces accessed through electric gates and along a private driveway.

The Tower House is a wonderfully charming family home.
