In a wonderful location, tucked away yet perfectly situated in one of the most sought-after villages close to Tunbridge Wells and romantically adjoining The Spa Valley Steam Railway, a handsome period, detached house of stature surrounded by landscaped gardens of just over two acres. Grade II Listed as a property of historical note, the house is a perfect ‘marriage’ of a seventeenth century property that was significantly altered and extended in the early nineteenth in line with the principles of Georgian architecture. As a result, the elegance of the Georgian period is reflected in the symmetrical exteriors, large multi-pane sash windows that include two magnificent bays to the front, handsome fireplaces throughout. During the present owners’ period of ownership, they have ensured to maintain the property to a very high standard and added a fine sense of colour and sophistication to the interior styling. Apart from total re-decoration, works have included the installation of new bath/shower rooms and commissioning Tom Howley to fit out a walk-in pantry. The accommodation is laid out over three floors, together with cellars and extends to 4,759 square feet (including the cellars) together with a further 960 square feet of outbuildings. Elegant reception rooms lead off from the reception hall with each having large bay windows and fireplaces, whilst in the older part of the house, the atmospheric dining room has exposed ceiling beams and a magnificent inglenook fireplace. The kitchen/breakfast room is separated from the casual dining room by a double-sided wood burning stove and is comprehensively furnished with a range of hand-crafted cabinetry by Woodwork and integrated appliance such as a Quooker hot tap and a range cooker by Rangemaster. With glazing on three sides, the dining area has a lovely outlook over the gardens and countryside beyond. Bedrooms are arranged over the upper two levels – five on the first floor and the sixth on the second – and are supported by three bath/shower rooms, one en-suite to the guest bedroom. The principal bedroom enjoys a dual aspect and sits alongside a bathroom with separate shower cabinet and roll-top bath. Also on the second floor is a large attic space with the potential to create additional accommodation if needed, subject to listed building and planning controls.
