The £1.59 million home and its iconic turreted three-storey tower stands proudly in the quaint town and is a well-known sight for locals on country walks.

Believed to date back to the late 18th century, the home itself is far older than the tower.

Although the tower might look like part of a historic Kentish castle, it was added just over 100 years ago in 1904.

While the home has plenty of traditional features such as high ceilings, sash windows and fireplaces, it has also been renovated into a modern family home to keep up with the times.

The playroom is perfect for young children, while there are family bathrooms and a cloakroom.

And for those who love to spend some quality time outdoors as well as inside, the garden is a star feature.

The separate orangery has bi-fold doors opening up into a bright, spacious garden room, looks out onto the large terrace.

While a stroll beyond the terrace will see prospective owners find the lawn and vegetable garden.

Those with green thumbs will love the raised beds with the garden 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.
