Steeped in history and character, Ravens House is a truly unique and substantial period residence occupying a prominent position within the sought-after village of Tilmanstone. Originally constructed in the 1600's as two separate cottages, the property was transformed into the village public house by the early 1700s and remained at the heart of the community for almost 300 years before being sympathetically converted into the exceptional family home it is today. The roadside frontage is Grade II listed, preserving the property’s rich heritage and timeless appeal.

The ground floor offers an impressive amount of versatile living space, with a flowing open-plan layout incorporating four reception areas that creates the perfect environment for both family life and entertaining. Character features abound throughout, including a magnificent inglenook fireplace within the dining room, alongside two further fireplaces, one housing a log burner and another a gas fire, adding warmth and charm to the home.

The kitchen-breakfast room is a wonderful space, offering ample room for a family dining table and benefiting from a walk-in pantry and separate laundry room. A ground-floor shower room and WC add further practicality and convenience.

A beautiful central oak staircase rises to the first floor, where a large understairs cloakroom and excellent storage solutions further enhance the accommodation. Upstairs, there are four bedrooms and a luxurious family bathroom. The principal bedroom is an impressive retreat, featuring a vaulted beamed ceiling, fitted Sharps wardrobes, a charming window seat, three windows flooding the room with natural light, access to a large illuminated loft space and a connecting door to the family bathroom. The second bedroom also enjoys a vaulted ceiling, fitted wardrobes and its own en-suite shower room, whilst the third bedroom is a generous double with fitted wardrobes and the fourth provides a comfortable single bedroom, nursery or home office.

The family bathroom is beautifully appointed and comprises a freestanding roll-top bath, a large walk-in shower and WC. Additional storage can be found on the landing, including useful eaves storage and a substantial linen cupboard.

Externally, the property continues to impress. The wrap-around gardens provide a wonderful outdoor setting, featuring three separate patio areas ideal for entertaining, a greenhouse and access to a substantial cellar complete with heating and electricity, offering excellent flexibility for storage, hobbies or additional recreational space.

A standout feature is the detached garden room/annexe, complete with its own Wi-Fi connection, two separate rooms and a WC. This versatile building lends itself perfectly to guest accommodation, a home office, studio or entertaining space.

To the front, a generous driveway provides parking for approximately nine vehicles, making the property ideal for larger families or those who regularly entertain guests.

Situated within the charming village of Tilmanstone, Ravens House enjoys the perfect balance of countryside living whilst remaining within easy reach of Deal, Sandwich, Dover and Canterbury. Combining centuries of history with practical modern living, this remarkable home presents a rare opportunity to acquire one of the area’s most distinctive and characterful residences.
