7 bed semi-detached house for sale

High Street, Tenterden TN30

A rare opportunity to acquire a substantial Victorian character property in a prime High Street position at the heart of Tenterden. Ideally suited to buyers seeking a live-work lifestyle, creative base or wellness-focused retreat property.

Arranged over three floors and extending to approximately 2,875 sq ft, this semi-detached Victorian building offers impressive proportions, high ceilings and a strong sense of presence. Formerly used for commercial purposes, the property provides exceptional flexibility to create a bespoke environment combining living, working and hosting, subject to planning.

Ideal for Live-Work & Wellness-Focused Buyers

This property is particularly attractive for buyers looking to create:

• A live-work home with clear separation between public and private spaces

• A creative studio or practice (art, design, writing, music, photography)

• A wellness or self-development base (yoga, meditation, therapy, coaching, consulting)

• A retreat-style second home for personal use, workshops or small group sessions

The scale and layout allow the building to be shaped around personal vision, calm flow and functionality, rather than a fixed residential format.

Space, Flow & Layout Potential

• Ground Floor

Ideal for reception, studio, treatment rooms, consultation space or client-facing areas, with excellent High Street presence.
