Tanners House is an impressive and individual detached home, pleasantly set back from the road in the sought-after village of Saltwood and believed to date back to 1924. A fine example of inter-war architecture, the property features rendered elevations, geometric detailing and subtle Art Deco influences, giving it a unique character within the village.

The house has a fascinating history, having been associated with the Schwab family and their miniature railway, which once operated within the grounds. More recently, it has been home to a renowned international concert pianist and his artistic family, providing a setting for creativity and family life. Coming to the market for the first time in 50 years, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a home with a special place in Saltwood’s heritage.

Inside, the property retains a wealth of original features, including attractive arched doorways and an open-plan ground floor. The generously proportioned accommodation offers a variety of individual spaces, each with its own character and charm. The rear garden has been thoughtfully adapted to provide a generous yet more manageable outdoor space, while the front garden, accessed via a shared entrance, incorporates a private driveway with parking for at least four vehicles, in addition to the double garage.

With its striking architecture, intriguing history and individual character, Tanners House offers a wonderful opportunity for new owners to appreciate its unique qualities and make it their own. An individual home with much to offer, an internal viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate all that this special property has to offer.
