If you’ve always wondered what it would be like to live like a royal, now is your chance to find out.
Not many houses come fit for royalty with their very own castle attached, but this six-bedroom detached house in Tenterden does - or at least the next best thing.
This Grade II listed Georgian property and its iconic turreted three-storey tower stand proudly in the quaint town and have become a well-known sight for locals on country walks.
The house is believed to date back to the late 18th century and, although the tower might look like part of a historic Kentish castle, it was added only just over 100 years ago in 1904.
The tower itself holds a laundry room on the ground floor, along with a cosy bedroom on each of the first and second floors, which could easily be used as guest rooms or home studies.
Overall, the house boasts six bedrooms, including en-suite bathrooms and period fireplaces, a kitchen with a gas fired Aga and French doors leading onto a decked balcony, and a double drawing and sitting room with fitted bookcases, open fireplaces and garden views.
While the home has plenty of traditional features such as high ceilings, sash windows and charming fireplaces, it has also been renovated into a modern family home.
The playroom is perfect for young children, while the family bathrooms and cloakroom provide practicality for busy families.
For those who love the outside of a house as much as the inside, the garden is a starring feature of this £1.59m property.
The separate orangery, which has bi-fold doors opening up into a bright, spacious garden room, looks out onto the large terrace, perfect for al fresco dining and summer entertaining.
As you stroll beyond the terrace, you will find the lawn and vegetable garden, which includes raised beds and is lined with cherry, apple, pear and olive trees.
To top it all off, the garden also holds a detached two storey outbuilding with its own home office and double garage, period-style greenhouse and pretty summerhouse.
Live like a king or queen with this unique twist on a family home.
