A rare opportunity to acquire an unlisted five-bedroom home set within more than five acres of gardens and grounds on the outskirts of the sought-after town of Tenterden. Dating in part from circa 1600, Arcadia beautifully combines the charm of a historic property with the comfort, efficiency and convenience of modern living. Over the years, the house has been carefully modernised and enhanced, most notably with a sympathetic extension in 2021, creating a wonderful balance between period features and contemporary design. Further benefits include solar panels and an air source heat pump, resulting in an impressively energy-efficient home for a property of this age.
The accommodation is both versatile and spacious. An entrance hall welcomes you into the home, with a useful ground floor shower room immediately off the hall. At the heart of the house is a beautifully appointed contemporary kitchen, fitted with sleek cabinetry, extensive work surfaces and integrated appliances including a double oven, hob with extractor, dishwasher and fridge. An exposed brick feature wall adds warmth and character, while a breakfast bar creates an informal gathering space. Adjoining the kitchen is a substantial utility room with ample storage and direct access to the garden.
The kitchen flows through to the dining room and onwards to the impressive garden room extension. Flooded with natural light from a roof lantern and bi-fold doors opening onto the terrace, this space provides an excellent setting for entertaining, seamlessly connecting the house with the surrounding gardens. Elsewhere on the ground floor are a characterful sitting room, a cosy snug with double-sided fireplace and log-burning stove, and a study overlooking the gardens.
On the first floor are five generous bedrooms, two of which benefit from en suite shower rooms, together with a beautifully presented family bathroom featuring a freestanding bath. Character features throughout the house provide a subtle reminder of the property's long history while blending effortlessly with the modern additions.
Outside, the grounds are a particular feature of the property, extending to over five acres and wrapping around the house on three sides. Mature gardens include established planting, ornamental beds, a pond and an array of fruit trees including pear, apple, plum and damson. There are also vegetable beds, a polytunnel, fruit cage and two greenhouses.
The land offers a variety of potential uses, with a paddock, three stables, tack room and several outbuildings providing excellent facilities for equestrian pursuits or other countryside interests. The property is approached via a gravel driveway providing ample parking and access to a double garage and car barn, complete with EV charging point.
Arcadia combining extensive grounds, period character, modern efficiency and a convenient position just over two miles from the excellent amenities of Tenterden.
