Description

The property comprises an unlisted detached family house, dating back to the 1800's, and was originally two cottages now converted into one. It has attractive facades of red brick with sash windows under a slate tiled roof and offers well-proportioned reception rooms and family accommodation. Some particular features include a spacious kitchen/breakfast room with a range of fitted cupboards and integrated appliances. From the kitchen, stairs lead down to a useful cellar/basement currently used as store rooms.

The principal reception rooms are west facing and both the drawing room and dining room have fireplaces and bay windows overlooking the garden. From the drawing room, double doors open into the conservatory which is south facing and also enjoys views over the garden.

To one end of the drawing room there is a study area and a door leading into the snooker room which is ideal as a games room but we understand has previously been used as an annexe.

On the first floor there are four bedrooms and three bathrooms, two of which are en suite.

Outside, the property is approached via Sand Road over a driveway leading to the double garage. A wrought iron gate and a long York stone path lead to the front door. The gardens are a particular feature of the property and have been thoughtfully and beautifully designed and maintained. They comprise various sections including formal lawned areas, well stocked flower borders, topiary hedging, various seating areas and a vegetable garden with greenhouse. There is also a large detached store room as well as a smaller outbuilding. In all the property extends to just over half an acre.


The property is located in a convenient position overlooking Lamberhurst Down. The village of Lamberhurst has a picturesque central village green, local shop, primary school, pubs/restaurants, church and golf course. Nearby Tunbridge Wells provides a more comprehensive choice of shopping, leisure, cultural and commercial facilities including health clubs, theatres and multi-screen cinema complex. The A21 is easily accessible providing connections to the M25 motorway network, London Heathrow and Gatwick airports and the Ashford International railway station with its trains to the continent. There are a number of mainline stations within close proximity to the property with regular services to London. The area is well known for its excellent choice of schooling within both the state and private sectors including Holmewood House Preparatory School at Langton Green, Rose Hill School and Mead School in Tunbridge Wells and Kent College (girls) at Pembury.
