This is a great home for us and our children and we have been very happy here for the past six years but we need to move for family reasons. During our time here we have installed double glazed windows, put in the new kitchen and updated the bathrooms as well as having new block paving on the drive and terrace. It is in a great location as it is easy to get into the centre of town or go for a country walk and the house is also near good schools. We are on a bus route and there are two pubs nearby as well as the Neville Golf Club and Tunbridge Wells rugby and cricket clubs.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 and attractive 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 also 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 and a station with trains that will get you to London in three quarters of an hour.With regard to education there are a number of excellent primary and secondary schools rated Outstanding by Ofsted including St James and St Peters’ C of E primary schools and the Bennett Memorial Diocesan School, the St Gregory’s Catholic School, Tunbridge Wells Girls and Boys Grammar Schools and the Skinners’ School as well as The Judd School and the famous Tonbridge School. There are delightful places to enjoy a walk including Grosvenor and Hilbert Park created by the renowned Victorian architect Robert Marnock who also designed many of the Victorian properties that abound alongside impressive residences from the Regency era.  Additional entertainment facilities include a nine-screen Odeon cinema, the Trinity Theatre, the well-respected Assembly Theatre and exhibitions in the Amelia Scott cultural centre while, for sports enthusiasts, there are a variety of additional sports clubs including football and tennis as well as the indoor sports and tennis centre and a swimming pool.
