Pickhill House is a substantial Tudor Revival family home set on about 1 acre of mature gardens, quietly positioned on the edge of Tenterden within the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The house offers more than 3,600 sq ft of well-proportioned accommodation including six bedrooms, four reception rooms, a triple-aspect garden room and generous entertaining terraces with views over adjoining fields. The layout suits multi-generational living or regular entertaining, with a double garage and gated in-and-out gravel drive providing private parking.
The property blends period character with practical living: fireplaces, bay windows and a wood burner feature throughout, while the fitted kitchen with island and adjacent utility deliver everyday convenience. Two bedrooms benefit from en suite facilities and all bedrooms have fitted wardrobes. The rear terrace and lawned gardens open onto a fenced adjoining field; an additional 2.84 acres is available separately if more land is required.
Practical points to note: the house dates from the 1930s–40s, has solid brick walls (assumed no cavity insulation) and is heated by an oil-fired boiler to radiators. Council tax is described as quite expensive. These factors may influence running costs and potential retrofit work — for example adding insulation or updating heating.
This home will suit a family seeking space, privacy and rural character with good local schooling and transport links to Ashford and Headcorn. It also offers scope for improvement or phased updating for buyers wanting to increase energy efficiency or personalise the interior.
