It is a room for all seasons, a place that becomes an extension to the garden in the summer with the doors rolled back, but also somewhere to sit and relax in the winter, hunkered down enjoying the underfloor heating. It is a perfect room for parties and gatherings and a great place from which to enjoy much of the charm of the house and garden.Who do you think would be the next ideal owner? This house really could suit any family dynamic. Our children have enjoyed growing up in the house, but it would work for an extended family, or a couple who want to put their stamp on things. Whoever buys the house would ideally be able to see the potential within the property as well as having an appreciation of living in an historic farmhouse with all its character and quirks.What do you love most about the house and why?It is a very spacious property, yet has a wonderful, homely feel. We will miss the extensive garden, which, with its different areas, offers a great deal of privacy, peace and tranquillity.What do you love about the local community?There are plenty of good village pubs and there are opportunities to involve yourself as much or as little as you like in village life.

Oxford is also only 40 minutes from the house.What made you choose this property over others that were available at the time?The house has been in the family for well over 100 years. When we had the opportunity to move here, we thought it would only be for a few years, but we have stayed for nearly 27.Ground Floor: Upon entering the property, you are warmly welcomed into the entrance hall with access to both principal reception rooms.

It was here, beneath a great oak tree in 1787, that Pitt famously encouraged William Wilberforce to begin the parliamentary campaign to abolish the slave trade. The house was later rebuilt in its current classical Georgian form by the celebrated architect Decimus Burton in 1827. Over the centuries, Holwood has welcomed an extraordinary roll call of visitors and residents, including Charles Darwin, who conducted experiments in the grounds, and Winston Churchill, who dined here regularly during the Second World War.

What the owners say: We love this beautiful house as it is in such a special location so close to the station, the Pantiles and excellent local schools including the popular Claremont primary which can be seen from the house and is the only location that is ‘definitely’ in the catchment area. It is also quiet and peaceful with no road noise, it being situated on the bend of Poona Road, away from main arterial routes and, because it is a private road, it is very secure for both children and pets. The verge outside the house is partially owned by the property and represents a fun gathering place for the road’s community to gather and have a bonfire of for the children to play safely. We have designed the interior to be luxurious and individual but still practical including the underfloor heating system that can be controlled from your phone and thermostatically control each room independently. Even the two Velux windows in the kitchen can be controlled from your phone and include rain sensors so they automatically shut. As the house was originally built in 1837 we felt strongly that it should be restored to its former glory and have paid attention to every single detail with no expense spared. As a result it has been given the highest accolade by the town’s ‘Civic Society,’ which looks out for excellence in development and conversion and was awarded by the Mayor. This house has been a wonderful place to live with a real community feel but also being detached with its own off road parking area has also been a godsend, giving us the best of both worlds. We have poured our heart and soul into every part of the design and, while we have loved living here, it’s now ready for someone new to enjoy it and the close-knit local community where we have made many friends. 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 town was developed during that time including the famous Pantiles that now offers a delightful mix of independent shops, bars and restaurants, including the number one rated ‘Boutique’ in the UK, while the rest of the town also includes high street stores, a variety of excellent 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 within an hour. With regard to education there are a number of primary and secondary schools rated Outstanding by Ofsted including St Peters’ C of E primary and the Bennett Memorial Diocesan School, the St Gregory’s Catholic School and Tunbridge Wells Girls Grammar School. You will also find excellent private schools in the area including Rosehill, The Mead, Holmewood House and Beechwood prep and secondary school as well as the famous Tonbridge School founded in 1553. Additional entertainment facilities include a nine-screen Odeon cinema, the Trinity theatre, the wellrespected Assembly Theatre and exhibitions in the Amelia Scott cultural centre. For sports enthusiasts there are a variety of sports facilities available including the Neville golf club, cricket, football and rugby clubs as well as the indoor sports and a swimming pool while the tennis club is one of the oldest in the country with 21 courts including 8 grass courts. Sprint and summer brings plenty of festivals for adults and children alike. One not to be missed is the ‘Jazz on the Pantiles’ where people can enjoy al fresco dining while listening to some of the best live music in the Southeast while eating a range of wonderful food at the same time.
