This has been a wonderful family home for the past 25 years however we feel the time has come to downsize. We love the views, the privacy and the peace and tranquility of the area. During our time here we have, extended into the attic and built the large terrace as well as adding en suite facilities to create a truly special family home.
We can easily walk to the station and the shops and we are close to good schools, a bus route, two pubs, the Neville Golf Club and Tunbridge Wells rugby, tennis and cricket clubs. There is also the indoor sports and tennis centre and a swimming pool. If you enjoy a good walk there are a number of delightful parks including Dunorlan and the Hawkenbury Recreation Ground. The A21/M25 is nearby for motorists wanting to go to Tonbridge, Sevenoaks, London or the coast.
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 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. Entertainment facilities include a nine-screen Odeon cinema, the Trinity theatre, the well-respected Assembly Hall Theatre and exhibitions in the Amelia Scott cultural centre.
