Over the past five years, Tall Trees has undergone a comprehensive programme of renovation. The property has been fully rewired and re plumbed, a new gas central heating system has been installed, and the kitchen, bathroom and cloakroom have all been replaced. Oak internal doors and new floor coverings have been fitted throughout, and the large picture windows have been upgraded to maximise the countryside views. These improvements combine to create a home that feels fresh, welcoming and ready to enjoy from the moment you step inside.

A further advantage of Tall Trees is the planning potential it offers. In June 2021, Ashford Borough Council granted permission (now lapsed) for a substantial scheme including a two storey front extension with a new crown roof, a rear extension, a new garage with dormer windows and storage above, and a detached two bedroom log built annexe positioned to the rear of the garage. Although the permission has expired, it provides a clear precedent for any buyer wishing to re apply and unlock the full potential of this generous plot.

Outside, Tall Trees sits within a plot of approximately a quarter of an acre, framed by mature planting and established shrubs that create a peaceful and private setting. The gardens offer ample space for outdoor enjoyment, while extensive off road parking adds practicality. The rural views from the house and garden are a standout feature, offering a sense of space and serenity that is quintessentially Kentish.
