What the owner says

This has been our home for the past 19 years and it has always been a very special place. It is extremely quiet and peaceful and when we close the outer gates behind us whenever we return to our home, we just feel the nature all around. However it is time to start a different chapter and pass it on to new owners who will hopefully love everything this cottage has to offer.

Although we are surrounded by nature and the countryside, we are only a couple of miles from the centre of Tunbridge Wells, while the A21/M25 and A26 are easily accessible for motorists wanting to go to Tonbridge or Sevenoaks, a trip to the countryside, the beach or the airport. We are also close to the Neville Golf Club for golfing aficionados.

Tunbridge Wells or, more formally Royal Tunbridge Wells, became a famous spa town in Regency times when it was frequented by the aristocracy who came to take the waters and enjoy the entertainment organised by Beau Nash. Much of this historic town was developed during that time including the famous Pantiles that now offers a delightful mix of independent shops, bars and restaurants, while the rest of the town also includes high street stores, a variety of eateries, individual shops, hair and beauty salons and a number of luxury and boutique hotels as well as retail parks and a station with trains that will get you to London within an hour. Additional entertainment facilities include a nine-screen Odeon cinema, the Trinity Theatre, the well-respected Assembly Theatre and exhibitions in the Amelia Scott cultural centre. Additional sports clubs offer cricket, football, rugby and tennis and there is also the indoor sports and tennis centre as well as a swimming pool.

With regard to education there are a number of primary and secondary schools rated Outstanding by Ofsted are St James and St Peters’ C of E primary schools and the Bennett Memorial Diocesan School, the St Gregory’s Catholic School, Skinners and Tunbridge Wells Girls Grammar School secondary schools. While the nearest primary is Claremont and this has been judged Outstanding in various categories.
