Description
We really loved the feel of this house and with some modifications we have created our ideal home. It is in a perfect position being quiet and peaceful yet close to town. The extension and patio areas have made this house perfect for entertaining and the newly built garage with mezzanine floor has made best use of the space for our car and for the garden and workshop. It is in a great location as the property is on a small cul-de-sac so it is very quiet and safe for children and pets, yet we are only a short walk from the centre of town. We are close to the A26 and not far from the A21/M25 for motorists wanting to go to Tonbridge, Sevenoaks or London.
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 excellent 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.
With regard to education there are also schools within easy walking distance including the popular Claremont Primary. There are a number of primary and secondary schools rated Outstanding by Ofsted including St Peters’ C of E primary and the Bennett Memorial Diocesan School, the St Gregory’s Catholic School and Tunbridge Wells Girls Grammar School. You will also find excellent private schools in the area including Rosehill, The Mead, Holmewood House and Beechwood prep and secondary school as well as the famous Tonbridge School founded in 1553.
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. For sports enthusiasts there are a variety of sports facilities available including the Neville golf club, cricket, football and rugby clubs as well as the indoor sports and a swimming pool while the tennis club is one of the oldest in the country with 21 courts including 8 grass courts.
