Set well back from the road on about 0.51 acre, this 1930s detached home delivers dramatic Rother Valley views and generous outdoor space. The house offers roomy, well-proportioned reception rooms, a bright landing and two large first-floor bedrooms that take full advantage of the elevated outlook — ideal for a growing family wanting rural privacy.
The layout includes three reception rooms, a kitchen and useful outbuildings: two single garages, a detached workshop, adjoining garden room, store and external WC. A sweeping private driveway provides ample parking and secluded approach. Nearby riverbank walks, a village pub and a riverside café/restaurant add lifestyle appeal while Tenterden, Hawkhurst and Rye are a short drive away for wider shopping and services.
The property requires general updating and modernisation throughout and presents clear potential for extension and remodelling subject to consents. Practical considerations: heating runs on oil to a boiler and radiators, drainage is via a private septic tank, double glazing predates 2002 and council tax is at a high band. These are factual drawbacks but also opportunities to modernise and add value.
For buyers seeking substantial outdoor space, panoramic rural views and a traditional family home to renovate and tailor, this plot and house offer significant scope. Investors or households planning an extensive refurbishment will find the layout and outbuildings a strong starting point.
