Property with pool and garden Tonbridge (United Kingdom)
Backing onto glorious countryside next to the High Weald National Landscape (formerly an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty) stands this beautifully updated four-bedroom chalet bungalow.

The property is approached along a spacious drive providing plenty of off-road parking and bordered by a delightful front garden with a lawn, a rose bed and mature trees. The front door opens into a useful lobby and leads to the hallway with oak wood flooring that flows through to the impressive sitting room.

However, it is the kitchen/breakfast room that is the ‘heart of the household’. It was redesigned about three years and includes attractive units with high-end appliances such as a five-ring gas hob and extractor, a built-in double oven and microwave as well as an integrated dishwasher and full-height larder fridge while a freezer is in the adjacent utility. In the breakfast area there are patio doors opening out onto the rear terrace, additional storage cabinets and shelving as well as a boiler cupboard. There is a relaxing family room/snug with a very wide archway to the dual aspect dining room that has a door to the terrace and is ideal for more formal entertaining or family celebrations. The rest of the ground floor incorporates a family bathroom, a separate cloakroom and three double bedrooms including one with an ensuite toilet. The smallest bedroom is currently set up as an office with fitted shelving and a day/occasional bed. The delightful principal suite is on the first floor and features a walk-in dressing room as well as bespoke fitted cupboards, a trendy ensuite shower room with a contemporary vanity basin and French doors to a wide balcony with a glass and chrome balustrade. Here you can sit and sip your morning coffee reveling in the stunning views and sun rises across the rear garden and the superb countryside beyond. Outside this property provides something to enjoy wherever you look. There is a spacious terrace for barbecues and outdoor entertaining that continues through an arched pergola and around the heating swimming pool with its attractive pool house. Vast swathes of lawn are ideal for a game of cricket or football and are bordered by specimen trees and plenty of shrubs that provide a colourful display at varying times of the year. You will also find a charming summerhouse with a patio/bistro area, a large vegetable and herb garden, an orchard, fruit cages, a chicken run and bee hives. While solar panels on the roof provide economic water heating, separate PV panels provide electricity and cover the cost of running the swimming pool in the summer. What the owners say: We bought this property some 19 years ago and it has been delightful. We have loved creating the garden and not only enjoying the swimming pool but also developing the ‘good life’ with our own fruit, chickens and bees. We have also taken great delight in updating the house to be the lovely home you see today. We like the space, the views and the countryside feel yet it is only eight minutes’ walk to the centre of Horsmonden This charming village is surrounded by farmland, orchards and vineyards. It is bordered by the River Teise and includes attractive artificial lakes for fishing and bird watching. There is a large village green, a convenience store, pharmacy and hairdresser as well as a doctor’s surgery, a good primary and kindergarten school and a village hall that offer a variety of activities to suit all age groups while popular pubs and restaurants nearby include The Halfway House and The Hopbine Inn. We are also in the catchment area for the numerous excellent state and private schools around Cranbrook and in Tonbridge and Tunbridge Wells. Regular bus services, including school buses, connect the village with neighbouring towns and schools, providing convenient access for families and commuters alike. They go to Cranbrook, Tunbridge Wells and Tonbridge while the nearest station is Paddock Wood where trains can whisk you to Charing Cross in 52 minutes and Cannon Street in 48 minutes or Tonbridge station where the fast train to London Bridge takes just over half an hour.

Property with garden Tonbridge (United Kingdom)
An attractive and beautifully presented detached family home, occupying a generous corner plot at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac of individual properties. Set within mature, established gardens with a desirable southerly aspect and adjoining Springwood Park, the property enjoys an enviable combination of privacy, space and convenience, while being approximately 2.6 miles from Tonbridge station and High Street. Coming to the market for the first time in 25 years, this much-loved family home offers spacious and versatile accommodation, complemented by beautifully landscaped gardens, a detached double garage and wine cellar. The ground floor accommodation is arranged around a welcoming central entrance hall, featuring a galleried landing, downstairs cloakroom and useful understairs storage. The impressive through lounge enjoys a dual aspect and features a characterful inglenook fireplace with log burner, creating an inviting focal point to the room. Double doors from the entrance hall lead into an elegant separate dining room, providing an ideal setting for both family dining and entertaining. The newly renovated kitchen provides generous preparation and storage space, together with a dual fuel double range oven, integrated appliances and bespoke display cabinetry. The kitchen opens into a well-proportioned home office, which offers excellent flexibility and could equally serve as a playroom, snug or additional breakfast room. A separate utility room provides further practicality, with direct access to the side patio and seating area, as well as convenient access to the detached double garage. To the rear of the property is a bespoke conservatory, thoughtfully designed to complement the original brickwork of the house. Providing additional seating and dining space while overlooking the gardens, it creates a wonderful connection between the home and its attractive surroundings. The galleried first-floor landing leads to four generous double bedrooms, all benefiting from fitted wardrobes, together with a well-appointed four-piece family bathroom. Bedroom two benefits from its own en-suite shower room, while the impressive principal suite has been thoughtfully created by incorporating the original fifth bedroom. This provides a particularly spacious and luxurious retreat, complete with fitted dressing room, private seating area and a newly appointed en-suite shower room. Gardens & Grounds A particular feature of the property is the beautifully established wrap-around garden, which enjoys a desirable southerly aspect and has been carefully landscaped to provide an attractive and secluded outdoor setting. Mature trees, shrubs and well-stocked borders provide excellent privacy, while an orchard area adds further character to the grounds. A bespoke greenhouse from Hartley Botanic, overlooks a substantial koi pond with water feature, creating an attractive focal point within the garden. A central seating area, mature borders and landscaped patio benefit from thoughtfully positioned lighting, allowing the gardens to be enjoyed and appreciated throughout the year. The combination of established planting, entertaining areas and secluded spaces makes the grounds particularly well suited to both family life and outdoor entertaining. To the front of the property is a detached double garage has remotely operated double doors, and useful storage within the pitched roof. The garage also provides access to the property’s wine cellar from Spiral Cellars. The property offers further potential to extend or adapt the existing accommodation, subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents. Location The property is conveniently positioned for Tonbridge and the surrounding area, with excellent access to shopping, schools, leisure facilities, transport links and the Kent countryside What the owners say. A wonderful family home and somewhere we have been incredibly fortunate to watch our family grow. One of the things we have always loved most is the sense of space and privacy. Being tucked away at the end of the cul-de-sac, with the garden wrapping around the house and Springwood Park alongside, gives the property a wonderfully peaceful feel. At the same time, Tonbridge is only a short drive away, so we have always felt close to everything we need. The part of the property we will miss most is its southerly aspect as this means there always seems to be somewhere to enjoy the sunshine, whether its spending time on the patio or simply enjoying the changing seasons. In the evenings, the garden lighting completely changes the atmosphere and has made it a lovely space for entertaining family and friends. Inside, the house has evolved with us over the years. The different reception rooms have given us the flexibility we needed as family life changed, while the conservatory has become a particularly enjoyable place to sit and look out over the garden. More recently, we have renovated the kitchen and utility room. There are also plenty of smaller things we have come to appreciate: the inglenook fireplace on a winter evening, having a proper double garage and plenty of storage, the wine cellar, and being able to step outside and enjoy such a mature and private garden. After a quarter of a century, leaving will undoubtedly be bittersweet. It has been a very happy home for us, filled with countless family occasions and memories, and we hope its next owners will enjoy living here every bit as much as we have.

Property Tonbridge (United Kingdom)
The position of this delightful, detached period home is quite superb and offers the best of both worlds in that it is tucked away and yet provides good access into the village and to the popular station to London with the additional benefit of backing onto open fields. A long driveway from the Tonbridge Road leads up hill to the large block paved parking and turning area and a detached double garage and your first glimpse of this delightful home surrounded by gardens that lend a feeling of calm that comes with being far from the madding crowded. A few steps up past a fabulous pond takes you to the terrace which makes the most of its elevated position and affords you far reaching views beyond the village to the distant horizon. In order to make use of this sunny aspect and delightful view a large conservatory has been added to the front elevation of the house to create a much used and much-loved space for sitting or entertaining whilst maximising the benefit of the view. From here a large reception hall makes a superb study area or reading nook with its pretty bay window, brick fireplace and parquet floor. A large single storey addition has created a very generous living room, maximising the natural light with its triple aspect and views out over the gardens. The charming kitchen is linked to the dining room via a conservatory that currently serves as a utility area and would make a fine breakfast room. A doorway leads past the wine store to a traditional dining room with a fireplace and pretty side bay window. This is another large room and is ideal for seating large gatherings and makes a superb entertaining space. Upstairs there are four double bedrooms, two of which are en-suite to shower rooms, with a family bathroom and separate toilet. A formal garden fronts the property with a large terrace, a pond garden and lawn. A further large lawn wraps around the house and is ideal for garden sports or if you prefer to be left as a natural wildflower garden. To the rear of the house is a pretty little painted brick outbuilding under a pitched tiled roof that has plenty of scope to be your home office, children’s den summerhouse or potting shed. This has been an amazing house in a brilliant location. We always loved the fact that you come up a long driveway before you get to the house, so you feel like you are so tucked away and as the driveway is uphill you have a lovely, elevated position with superb far-reaching views. Having said that you are perfectly situated for easy access to Hildenborough village, the station with services into London, as well as to Tonbridge Town and Sevenoaks. The village has two state primary schools, Stocks Green School, and Hildenborough cep school as well as the independent Fosse Bank, and the independent Sackville school. Tonbridge, Tunbridge Wells and Sevenoaks offer a brilliant choice of schooling in both the state sector including superb grammar schools like The Judd School and TOGGS, and the private sector including Tonbridge and Sevenoaks schools, Hilden Grange and the schools at Somerhill.

Property with garden Etchingham (United Kingdom)
The first thing that strikes you as you send your way down the driveway past the house is the glorious position in which it sits in an area of outstanding natural beauty. Surrounded by its gardens and paddocks the house enjoys the most delightful views over the valley and up towards the gorgeous hilltop village of Mayfield. Stepping into the house itself you are greeted by a generous reception hall replete with a large brick fireplace (now fitted with a wood burning stove which has a back-boiler, which heats the hot water and the radiator on the landing on the first floor) with an oak Bressummer above and true to its country heritage an ancient rifle (not included). The kitchen/breakfast room is the cosy heart of the home with its country style units, classic red Rangemaster, traditional white painted beams and unusual Venetian window. The kitchen has a built-in fridge and separate built-in freezer, and a built-in dishwasher. The front window offers a calming view out past a glorious old sycamore tree and beyond to the paddocks. The French Doors at the rear lead out onto the formal gardens and enjoy from your breakfast table the most delightful and far-reaching views. Step out onto the patio to enjoy the same view al fresco whilst remaining shaded by the charming, tiled roof. The living room is a more modern addition beautifully in keeping with the style and character of the original farmhouse, retaining all its charm. There is an inglenook-style fireplace with an Aga stove and exposed timbers, and the room benefits from superb natural light from its triple aspect windows, including French Doors opening on to the patio and garden and the fabulous views. A dining room, study, utility room and cloakroom complete the downstairs space and add plenty of flexibility whether you need two home offices, a playroom/den or separate entertaining space. Upstairs you are blessed with a principal bedroom with a large en-suite bathroom; a modern must have that is often lacking in period farmhouses. This bright light room with its vaulted ceiling and triple aspect is a beautiful space to retire to at the end of the day. Three further double bedrooms, one of which has an en-suite shower room, and a good size family bathroom makes room for friends and family alike. That mixture of practicality and charm continues outside with a generous driveway and triple garage with a large storage room over. The brick potting shed (with gardeners’ toilet) and wood store are charming and the wooden Summerhouse on the upper terrace makes the best of the views. The gardens are truly delightful; well planted around a central lawn with beautiful space in trees to create all year-round interest and summer shade, and there is a charming vegetable area down by the potting shed. The paddocks are easily accessed from the driveway as is the four bay pole barn. The whole is deemed ideal for equestrian use and measuring 3.155 acres in total. What the owner says; This has been such a beautiful location to live in surrounded by gorgeous rolling countryside and enjoying the delightful gardens and open fields. The views up towards Mayfield are incredible and make living here very special. I have loved creating an idyllic garden with the inspiration of the National trust’s Batemans ( the family home of Rudyard Kipling) just up the road. There iis plenty odf space for a weel stocked vegetable garden and the various outbuildings are incredibly useful. Heathfield Town is just up the road and caters for all your every day needs. Popping up to Royal Tunbridge Wells or down to the coast to visit Hastings, Brighton or Rye, or simply popping out to any number of pretty villages with local pubs and restaurants or up to London on the train gives you so much choice. Whatever you plan to do returning home to such a delightful, peaceful and calming environment is a true blessing
