Beautifully renovated Tudor home with a striking modern kitchen extension
Swallows is a Grade II listed Tudor home dating back to the 15th century, offering an exceptional blend of period character and contemporary living. With origins spanning approximately 600 years, this beautifully presented property pairs historic charm with a thoughtfully designed modern extension and landscaped grounds.
The house presents an impressive timber-framed façade beneath a characterful tiled roof, creating a timeless first impression. A sweeping gravel driveway leads to the entrance with generous off-road parking.
Extensively renovated in recent years, Swallows seamlessly combines original features with modern comfort. At the heart of the home is a remarkable kitchen and dining space, completed in 2021 and linked to the original building through a glazed connection that enhances both light and flow. This space is designed for contemporary living, featuring two sets of bi-fold doors that open directly onto the terrace, creating a bright and airy environment and a natural connection between indoors and out.
The kitchen is fitted with sleek cabinetry, generous storage, and a large central island incorporating an integrated hob with a retractable extractor and pop-up charging points. A full suite of integrated appliances includes a coffee machine, double ovens, fridge/freezer, and dishwasher, while underfloor heating ensures comfort throughout the extension.
Within the original part of the house, the layout includes a sitting room, and a study, each rich in character and featuring inglenook fireplaces that reflect the home’s heritage. Additional ground floor accommodation includes a dining room, utility and laundry room and a cloakroom.
Upstairs, there are four well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from an en suite bathroom, while the remaining rooms are served by a stylish modern bathroom with both a bath and separate shower.
The gardens are a standout feature, carefully landscaped to complement the extension and provide a variety of outdoor spaces for relaxation and entertaining. A sunken seating area, dedicated barbecue space with lighting, and a heated swimming pool contribute to outdoor enjoyment. The pool is powered by a ground source heat pump, and nearby sits a remarkable 500-year-old olive tree, adding a truly unique focal point.
Accessed via electric gates, the property also includes a detached garage with power. Swallows offers generous proportions, timeless character, and modern convenience, all set within the charming village of Boughton Monchelsea.
