Description

As you enter this beautiful home, you are immediately struck by the high ceilings, classic period features, generous proportions and solid grandeur of the Victorian era in which it was built. While the original house of which it forms a substantial part is Georgian, this wing was a later addition, sympathetically added and updated over the years to make what is now a very comfortable and elegant home, with all the conveniences required for modern family living.

But it is not just the house itself that excites. The incredibly secret south facing gardens and outside space, which extends over a very large area to the rear of the property, are also very special, offering different unique areas of meadow, woodland, borders and lawn to suit gardeners, children, pets, nature lovers and sun worshippers alike. In addition, this property has a good size gravel driveway to the front for parking and turning.

Occupying a tucked away, peaceful location along a country lane between the historic Cinque Port town of Tenterden and the pretty village of Biddenden, Dashmonden Grange is a rare find indeed, and would make the ideal home for anyone wishing to live a quieter life, while still needing to be close to excellent local facilities, schools and transport systems.

The first is a courtyard style area to the rear of the house, ideal for al fresco dining and entertaining. This leads through to a walled hidden garden where an abundance of cottage plants fill the space and provide sheltered places to sit.
