This handsome, unlisted Edwardian rectory combines period grandeur with flexible family accommodation across approximately 4,801 sq ft. High ceilings, cornicing and a large bay in the drawing room give authentic character, while formal reception rooms with French doors open directly onto a wide paved terrace and well-tended lawns — ideal for entertaining or family life.
Accommodation is arranged over three floors: five principal bedrooms and three bathrooms on the first floor, with a further three bedrooms, bathroom and a secondary kitchen on the second floor. That upper-floor suite and two loft rooms provide genuine scope for a self-contained annexe, teenager’s wing or rental income, subject to any required permissions.
Outside, the property sits on a very large plot adjoining open countryside, approached via a gated driveway and turning circle. A detached triple garage (one enclosed bay, two open) plus additional outbuilding space add practical value. The location in Wittersham village places good local schools and Tenterden’s amenities within easy reach; rail links to London are available from Headcorn and Ashford.
Practical points to note: the house is of solid pre-1900 brick construction with limited wall insulation assumed, main heating is electric boiler/radiators, broadband speeds are slow and council tax is very expensive. These are important factors for running costs and any planned upgrades, but they also mean there is clear potential to add insulation, improve services and tailor the house to modern living.
