For Sale4 Bedroom Detached House in Elphicks Place, Tunbridge Wells, Kent Tn2 5nb£1,150,000

We moved here some 24 years ago and we have thoroughly enjoyed everything about this home and it has been a great place to bring up our family however they have flown the next and we now want to move nearer our children and grandchildren. We have loved creating the garden, installing the cedar buildings and are very proud of the lovely extension where we can sit and enjoy the views. We bought the house originally because of the location. Not only is it easy to get into the centre of town or go for a country walk but it is also near good schools, we are on a bus route and there are two pubs nearby. 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. Tunbridge Wells Cricket & Tennis club are within a 5 minute walk. With regard to education there are a number of primary and secondary schools rated Outstanding by Ofsted including St James and St Peters’ C of E primary schools and the Bennett Memorial Diocesan School, the St Gregory’s Catholic School and Tunbridge Wells Girls and Boys Grammar Schools. There are delightful places to enjoy a walk including Grosvenor and Hilbert Park created by the renowned Victorian architect Robert Marnock who also designed many of the Victorian properties that abound alongside impressive residences from the Regency era.  Additional entertainment facilities include a nine-screen Odeon cinema, the Trinity cinema, the well-respected Assembly Theatre and exhibitions in the Amelia Scott cultural centre while for sports enthusiasts there are a variety of sports clubs including the Neville Golf Club and cricket, football, rugby and tennis as well as the indoor sports and tennis centre and a swimming pool.
