A spacious six-bedroom detached house arranged with an unusual upside-down layout—bedrooms principally on the ground floor and the main living space above—offering flexible family living and scope for multi-generational use. The first-floor open-plan kitchen/sitting/dining room is bright and sociable, with French doors that connect the room to the garden and provide a generous entertaining footprint. Two garages and driveway parking add convenience for multiple cars or hobbies.
The ground floor contains five bedrooms, a utility, and a sizeable family bathroom with separate shower cubicle; the first floor adds two further rooms and a shower room, creating the potential for an integral annexe or independent living area. The private rear garden is mainly lawn with mature borders, a paved patio and good screening from hedging and trees—suitable for children and outdoor activities. Local amenities include highly regarded primary and secondary schools and Tenterden High Street’s shops and eateries. Fast broadband and easy road links to Headcorn and Ashford stations broaden the appeal for commuting.
Buyers should note material practical downsides: the property has an EPC rating of D and cavity walls are recorded without insulation (assumed), so energy-efficiency work may be required. It lies in Council Tax Band G, described as quite expensive. Constructed in the late 1960s–1970s, parts of the house may need updating or reconfiguration to suit modern tastes. Overall, the home will suit a growing or multi-generational family seeking space and reconfiguration potential in a well-served Kent town.
