THE HOLLONDS is a stunning Grade II listed country villa, built in 1835-1836 to the designs of Decimus Burton, the renowned Victorian architect, who was of seminal importance to the history of Tunbridge Wells in the 1820s and 1830s, establishing the architectural and landscape character that remains prominent today. The house retains the character of the period, with abundant well-preserved period features including a magnificent staircase with turned balusters and a wreathed handrail, marble chimney-pieces, ornate moulded ceiling roses and cornices, sash windows with shutters, and polished floorboards.

The owners have taken great care to preserve the grandeur and presence of Decimus Burton’s design, whilst carrying out sympathetic renovations and improvements, to create a wonderful family home.

The Hollonds is privately set, approached over its long, sweeping drive, and surrounded by its garden, grounds and exstensive woodlands. The property enjoys outstanding, southerly unspoilt views over its grounds and the surrounding countryside.
