4 bed detached house for sale

Harbourne Lane, Tenterden TN30

Originally a pair of farm workers' cottages dating from before 1843, combined in 1966 and extended since, Little Harbourne is an unlisted period house approached by a private drive through mature trees.

The entrance hall has an open fireplace with a cloakroom set discreetly off it. The kitchen is a large, sociable room built around an Aga, looking out across the property's own land to farmland beyond, with an adjoining boot room giving everyday access to the parking, double garage and garden. The drawing room is dual aspect with a wood-burning stove, the dining room exceptionally light with far-reaching views, and a third reception, currently a study, would make an excellent snug or playroom.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom is a generous dual aspect room with a walk-in wardrobe and en-suite. There are three further double bedrooms, one en-suite and two served by a large family bathroom.

The gardens extend to approximately 1.25 acres and wrap around the house on three sides. A sweeping driveway from Swain Road passes a small orchard and opens to a lawned area with a pond; to the side and rear, further lawn adjoins a generous terrace, with a second sunny patio and pergola making the most of the afternoon and evening sun. A double garage, secondary driveway and range of outbuildings provide extensive parking and storage.

Land by separate negotiation

Approximately 2.2 acres of adjoining paddock land is available by separate negotiation. Divided into three fields with a mains water connection from the road, it includes stabling built in 2021 comprising two loose boxes, a tack room and a large hay shed, together with a lean-to at the rear of the main field.

Little Harbourne sits on a quiet country lane in open Wealden farmland, with countryside views and real privacy, yet within walking distance of St Michaels and its shops, pubs and primary school. Tenterden is minutes away, with a wide tree-lined High Street, Waitrose, Tesco and an excellent range of independents; Homewood School serves the secondary range. Ashford International reaches St Pancras in around thirty-eight minutes, with direct mainline services from Headcorn to Cannon Street and Charing Cross. Rye is twenty-five minutes, Camber Sands beyond it, and the Channel Tunnel around thirty.
