  • The Old Dutch Barn Tong Road | Brenchley | Tonbridge | TN12
    The Old Dutch Barn LAND AND Tong Road | Brenchley | Tonbridge | TN12 7HT NEW HOMES Developers Insight Situated in the heart of the glorious Kent countryside, not far from the picturesque village of Brenchley is The Old Dutch Barn, a very stylish contemporary family home that blends beautifully with its spectacular rural surroundings. The property sits on around one-and-a-half acres of rolling land and is surrounded by apple orchards for as far as the eye can see, so it’s an idyllic location, but at the same time, within a matter of minutes you can be in either Tonbridge or Tunbridge Wells, both of which have all of the shops and amenities you could possibly wish for. It’s a location that offers the best of both.” “The building has been clad with rustic timbers, so it has the look of a period barn conversion and therefore melds beautifully with it’s surroundings, but internally it has the layout, look and feel of a much more contemporary home, so it’s perfect for modern family living. An array of gorgeous natural materials have been used, lots of glass to bring in light and enhance the feeling of space, and a neutral colour palette to create a blank canvass for the barn’s new owners. The building was initially completely stripped back we’ve been able to incorporate a wealth of modern technology such as under-floor heating, a Sonos sound system and an intercom system that is operated via a smart phone. The design of the house and each of these extra elements combine to make it a very comfortable family home.” “The barn sits on an old apple orchard, which was cleared, dug over and then re- seeded.” “Outside the sliding doors that lead from the kitchen lead to a huge patio, the rest of the grounds are laid to grass, so again they are a bit of a blank canvass.

Tunbridge Wells Borough Landscape Character Assessment 104 Character Area 10: Kilndown Wooded Farmland Key Characteristics 1) An intricate topography with a rolling sandstone plateau that forms a series of high ridges which are regularly incised by the thin narrow tributary valleys of the River Teise. The basic underlying geological structure of the Local Character Area is of Tunbridge Wells Sandstone forming high ridges, with Wadhurst Clay and localised thin belts of alluvium deposits in the valleys. A higher proportion of Wadhurst Clay and Ashdown Beds occur to the north and north-east of the area within the network of tributary valleys of the Teise. The three tributaries of the River Teise, the largest of which is the River Bewl, flow in a general south to north direction through the area and have a great influence on its character.

THE WALDEN LANDSCAPE IN THE EARLY SEVENTEENTH CENTERS AND ITS ANTECELENTS Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of London by John Louis Mnkk Gulley 1960 ABSTRACT This study attempts to describe the historical geography of a confined region, the Weald, before 1650 on the basis of factual research; it is also a methodological experiment, since the results are organised in a consistently retrospective sequence. After defining the region and surveying its regional geography at the beginning of the seventeenth century, the antecedents and origins of various elements in the landscape-woodlands, parks, settlement and field patterns, industry and towns - are sought by retrospective enquiry. At two stages in this sequence the regional geography at a particular period (the early fourteenth century, 1086) is , outlined, so that the interconnections between the different elements in the region should not be forgotten.
