Inside massive £1.5m 18th century home that’s part house and part castle

A massive 18th century home that's part house and part castle has gone on the market at a cool £1.5 million.

The Tower House in Ashford, Kent, is a Grade II listed Georgian property that comes complete with its own castle tower.

Its iconic three-storey castellated tower was an addition made in 1904, Kent Live reports.

With a guide price of £1,595,000, you’ll certainly be getting a lot for your money.

This unique property comes with five bedrooms across the first and second floors, several of which come with period fireplaces.

Plus the main bedroom is complete with a dressing room and shower room, alongside the family bathroom and additional shower room.

The family home boasts a number of additional striking features including high ceilings, sash windows and a separate orangery.

A double drawing and sitting room will lead you out onto a terrace with some great views of the garden perfect for some al fresco entertaining.

There is also the kitchen/breakfast room which incorporates pine flooring and French doors that bring you to the west-facing decked balcony, overlooking the garden. Adjoining the kitchen is the formal dining room.

You will also find a cloakroom, laundry room, family playroom and modern bathroom on the ground floor.

The aforementioned walled garden has deep planted borders, and also incorporates a rockery and a gazebo.

At the end of the lawn there is a gate leading to a rather impressive vegetable garden.

Not to mention, there are a number of outbuildings to be utilised, one of which incorporates a studio/home office and has potential for development, subject to any planning requirements.

Further outbuildings include a period-style greenhouse and summerhouse. Electric gates lead to adequate parking space for a number of vehicles and a double garage.

Sarah Hunt of Savills Cranbrook, says: “This iconic Georgian family home has so much to offer, including great accommodation with views, a delightful walled garden and even a fairy-tale tower.”
