DESCRIPTION

An elegant and beautifully-appointed unlisted former rectory, dating back to the 19th century and enjoying a lovely outlook to all sides over established gardens and -like grounds, with a tucked away position on the eastern side of Tunbridge Wells.

There is an excellent choice of junior and senior schools in the area, including near-by Kent College Pembury (for girls) and grammar schools in Tunbridge Wells, Tonbridge and Sevenoaks, all of which are easily accessible via the A21.

The property exudes charm and warmth, with canopied front porch festooned with rambling roses and many characterful period features including oak flooring and pretty fireplaces. A welcoming reception hall in the centre of the house gives access to a study and two high-ceilinged formal reception rooms. These have huge sash picture windows and working folding shutters with ‘door bases’ allowing direct access to the garden on the southerly side. This creates lovely space for entertaining and one of the fireplaces features a backboard inscribed 1757 and some interesting aged porcelain hearth tiles depicting everyday scenes.

The spacious contemporary country-style kitchen/breakfast room, complete with electric Aga, provides excellent family space and links to a practical domestic area, which includes a substantial bricked cellar below. A delightful sheltered courtyard lies on this side of the house, being the footprint of a previous wing demolished by fire in the 1940s, and featuring the remnants of an old fireplace to one wall.

Completing the ground floor accommodation is a huge family/games room, with its own private door out to the front forecourt and a shower room off, lending itself for use as ancillary accommodation if required.

Six light and beautifully presented bedrooms are arranged over the second floor, each with an attractive outlook over the grounds and individual character features, and four with well-appointed en suite facilities, including a charming master bedroom suite.

THE COACH HOUSE

The handsome period detached coach house lies to the front of the main house, offering self-contained two-bedroom ancillary accommodation on the first floor, with the original traditional cobbled stable area below, now used for garaging and storage. GARDENS AND GROUNDS

The established grounds surrounding the house extend to about 3.35 acres and provide an attractive setting. The sheltered lawns to the eastern-most side are accessed from the principal living areas. A superb architect-designed glazed pool room, together with an outdoor heated swimming pool lie beyond.

A part-walled garden lies to the other side of the house, with an all-weather tennis court, timber outbuilding and a greenhouse.

The property is approached to the front via a private driveway with automatic gates from a narrow lane off Old Church Road which gives access to three other properties.

The majority of the land-holding lies opposite Pembury Hall to the south, comprising an attractive block of fields, mixed woodland and two ponds, amounting to about 24.3 acres, making a total of about 27.65 acres in all.

It is possible to walk through the woods to Pembury village, whilst Kent College junior and senior schools, and the historic Norman Old Pembury Church are a short walk via the ‘Vicar’s path’ from the house.
