Chancery House is an impressive Grade II Listed Georgian townhouse occupying a prime position at the western end of Tenterden’s High Street. Light-filled reception rooms, high ceilings and abundant period detail — sash and bay windows, panelling, open fireplaces and exposed boards — create elegant family spaces across three storeys. The property extends to six bedrooms, four bathrooms and multiple reception rooms, offering flexibility for family living or formal entertaining.
Outside, mature, landscaped wrap-around gardens, terraces and a walled paved area surround a heated swimming pool for private outdoor entertaining. A substantial former coach house provides double garaging, workshop space and a first-floor studio ideal for a home office, hobbies or guest accommodation. A 33' cellar adds practical storage and character.
This house will particularly suit buyers seeking historic character with generous internal and external space in a small‑town setting close to local schools and amenities. Important practical notes: the Grade II listing means any alterations require listed‑building consent and may complicate refurbishment. The property also attracts quite expensive council tax; local crime levels are above average and some ongoing maintenance should be expected in a house of this age.
A buyer prepared to work with conservation constraints will find a rare combination of scale, period charm and outdoor privacy in the heart of Tenterden — a home with scope to update sympathetically while retaining strong historic appeal.
