East Weald Drive, Tenterden, Kent, TN30

Elegant 1930s home set in over an acre in the heart of Tenterden

Description

East Weald occupies a tucked away position within the charming town of Tenterden, while remaining conveniently close to the town’s excellent amenities. This handsome and imposing 1930's brick built home sits within a plot of over an acre, set well back from the road and surrounded by mature gardens.

The front door opens into a welcoming hallway where the feeling of space and light is immediately apparent, with access to the rear garden. The generous proportions typical of a 1930s property are evident throughout, with elegant architectural features such as sash windows.

To the left of the hallway lies a double aspect dining room, enjoying attractive views over the front garden. In keeping with the period, a charming serving hatch connects seamlessly through to the kitchen beyond. The kitchen itself is a modern, L shaped space fitted with white wooden cabinetry, a built in oven and a breakfast area positioned beside a window overlooking the front gardens. A walk in larder and a substantial utility and laundry room sit just off the kitchen, providing excellent storage and practical space.

To the right of the hall are two generous interconnecting reception rooms, each benefitting from dual aspects and feature fireplaces. These versatile rooms offer flexibility for family living and entertaining, with lovely views across both the front and rear gardens and an abundance of natural light throughout the day. A cloakroom completes the ground floor accommodation.

The staircase leads to a light filled first floor landing, from which four generous bedrooms and a well appointed family bathroom are accessed. The principal bedroom suite offers built in storage and a generous en suite featuring a raised bath, separate shower and dressing area.

Further enhancing the property is a separate garage block with electric doors providing space for two vehicles, alongside a tool room and stairs leading to additional accommodation above. This upper space includes a room with a shower room and ample storage, presenting excellent potential for a home office, studio or guest accommodation.

The gardens are a true delight and offer abundant space for outdoor living, entertaining and gardening. To the rear of the house, a wide brick terrace spans the length of the property with a pretty pergola that creates a shaded dining area. A recently built Victorian-style greenhouse sits adjacent to a productive vegetable garden. The grounds are predominantly laid to lawn and complemented by mature trees, well stocked beds and attractive planting, extending to over an acre. East Weald is approached via a private gravel driveway that provides parking for several vehicles.

This is a wonderful opportunity to acquire a substantial and characterful home set within a generous plot in the heart of Tenterden.
