Detached house for sale in Ashford Road, Tenterden TN30

Although this property has much kerb appeal to the front, it is the stunning architect designed bespoke glazed extension to the back of the property which has the real “wow” factor. Added by the current vendors, this wonderfully spacious and light kitchen / dining / family room with its panoramic views of the garden, is ideal for modern living and truly the heart of this beautiful home. Explore further and you will find a welcoming entrance hall, a large sitting room with open fire, utility and cloakroom, and to the first floor, a generous family bathroom and three good size bedrooms, two of which have en-suite shower rooms.

Outside, what was originally the garage, has been converted into a bonus studio space, consisting of an open plan living area, separate shower room and mezzanine storage area. This useful additional outbuilding has in the past been used for Bed and Breakfast accommodation, however, more recently it has served as guest accommodation to the main house. For anyone looking to work from home, it would certainly make an ideal home office and could also provide potential as an annexe, subject of course to any necessary consents. The lovely enclosed south east facing garden to the rear is landscaped and very well maintained, as is the garden to the front which borders the studio and extensive driveway.

Set well back, this unique property would suit anyone looking to live a more peaceful life while still benefitting from having all the many amenities that the coveted town of Tenterden has to offer on the doorstep. Internal viewing is highly recommended.
