A B Welcome to Redcliffe Place Redcliffe Place is an exclusive collection of 26 elegant new homes, named after one of the 19th century’s great diplomats, Stratford Canning, 1st Viscount Stratford de Redcliffe, who lies buried in St Alban’s churchyard in nearby Frant. Created by Beechcroft’s Special Projects’ team and tucked away, just off Frant Road, Redcliffe Place is less than a mile from The Pantiles and all the delights that Tunbridge Wells has to offer. The stylish, energy-efficient and easily-maintained two bedroom houses and two and three-bedroom apartments, along with a three-bedroom lodge house, are set in mature, beautifully- landscaped gardens. Each house features a terrace, balcony and private garden and the apartments also offer a terrace or balcony – and every home has allocated parking. Choose a new home at Redcliffe Place and you’ll be able to relax knowing that an Estate Manager will be on hand to maintain the development, the landscaped setting and private gardens. The Estate Manager will also keep a watchful eye on your property when you’re away from home – leaving you free to travel, to lock up and leave or just to enjoy peace of mind whilst you’re on holiday. 1 Superb landscaped settings and careful attention to detail are the hallmarks of every Beechcroft development East Horsley − Surrey 2 BEECHCROFT Quality that speaks for itself 1 With more than 35 years’ experience of creating award-winning developments, you can be confident that your new Beechcroft home has been designed, 2 built and finished to the highest standards.

Royal Tunbridge Wells is a town famed for its glorious parks and common. Less than three miles from Redcliffe Place is one of the most attractive green spaces – the 78 acre Grade II listed Dunorlan Park. This Gold Medal* winning park offers a lovely boating lake, ponds and marshlands, a water garden and a Grecian temple. 3 It provides the backdrop for a free park run, held every Saturday as well as being the venue for a variety of events including a spectacular firework display on Guy Fawkes’ night. If you’re seeking a peaceful oasis in the town centre, Calverley Grounds is the perfect place to stroll or to enjoy a coffee. In summer, the gardens host live music events and festivals and in the winter, there’s an ice rink. The oldest of the parks, Grosvenor and Hilbert Park features lakes, grottoes and winding walks. 4 Of course, there’s the Common, only a few minutes’ walk from the town centre which is a perfect picnic spot, a wildlife haven and a great place to sit back and watch the world go by. For a day out, step back into the past at Scotney Castle, Lamberhurst, where the wooded estate houses an Elizabethan manor and a moated medieval castle set in romantic gardens. Following a walk around the parkland of Salomons Estate on Broomhill Road, you’ll be ready for afternoon tea at the historic 5 house, now a hotel – and the museum is worth a visit. One of the most famous local attractions must surely be historic Penshurst Place and Gardens, once owned by Henry VIII but home to the Sidney family for the last 460 years. Ashdown Forest, the inspiration for Winnie-the-Pooh’s Hundred-Acre Wood is the perfect place to walk, cycle or horse-ride – and it’s less than 15 miles from Tunbridge Wells. 6 1 Calverley Grounds 2 The Common 3 Scotney Castle 4 Penshurst Place 5 Salomons Estate 6 Ashdown Forest * Winner – South and Southeast in Bloom 5 The Pantiles Georgian colonnade in the centre of the town 6 TUNBRIDGE WELLS Stylish shops and fine dining 1 For over four centuries, people have been attracted to Tunbridge Wells, first by the waters of the Chalybeate Spring and then by the stylish shops and elegant, colonnaded walkways of The Pantiles. 2 Queen Henrietta Maria, wife of Charles I, stayed here after the birth 5 of her son, Prince Charles. Princess Anne, later Queen Anne, was a frequent visitor in the 18th century but it was King Edward VII who granted the town its ‘royal’ status in 1909. Georgian grandeur is still evident in The Pantiles, home to over 70 independent stores, art galleries, cafes, restaurants and bars – each offering something special. Listen to live music, relax 3 with a coffee in a pavement café or browse around the designer boutiques. Head to Hoopers on Mount Pleasant for fashion, furniture, beauty and homeware or to Victoria Road, where you’ll find the award-winning Royal Victoria Place Shopping Centre, home to Fenwick’s department store. When you’ve had your fill of shopping, there’s a vast array of places to eat and drink. Thackeray’s, set in a building once owned by the novelist, William Makepeace Thackeray, is popular as is Sankey’s The Old Fish Market Champagne & Seafood Bar in the 4 Pantiles. There are plenty of well-known chain restaurants in Tunbridge Wells including The Giggling Squid, Zizzi, Ask and Prezzo but for morning coffee and delicious cake, lunch or afternoon tea, sample the delights of The Pantiles Café or Juliet’s Café on the 5 5 High Street. For a special occasion, The Ivy is the talk of the town or there’s the Hotel du Vin, an architectural landmark, offering 5 fine wines, delicious food and a relaxing atmosphere. If you’re cooking – or entertaining at home – the twice-monthly 5 farmers’ markets offer an enticing array of fresh, local, seasonal produce.
