In a prestigious location within the Conservation Area, tucked away and yet within easy reach of the historic High Street and station, a most handsome, detached house of quality set within lovely landscaped gardens and enjoying far-reaching views from the upper levels. With origins dating back to the mid-nineteenth century, the house bears all the external architectural features so popular during that era. Exteriors are of painted render with quoin detailing, under a tall, slate tiled roof and large sash windows. Internally the elegant period detailing includes high ceilings with ornate coving and ceiling roses, deep skirting boards, panelled internal doors some with original polished brass door furniture, some internal window shutters and a variety of fireplaces. The present owners have been careful to ensure the preservation of the marvellous features, whilst at the same time creating a warm and welcoming family home. Bespoke furniture by Chambers has been used to good effect particularly in the kitchen, principal bedroom and the annexe and light oak floors have been laid throughout the ground and lower ground levels. With a southerly aspect to the rear, there is an abundance of natural light flooding through the large windows and French doors that also allow for a fine prospect over the gardens. Reception rooms are gracious and have majestic fireplaces, whilst the kitchen opens through to the breakfast room and has been comprehensively furnished with bespoke light oak cabinetry by Chambers with appliances including a gas fired Aga. The addition of an excellent Orangery by Peter Edmondson provides a marvellous family room or entertaining space as well as the ideal spot for taking in the serenity of the gardens at all times of year as it has a gas fire and under floor heating. An easy rising staircase leads to the wide first floor landing laid off from which are three large bedrooms, supported by three bath/shower rooms with Duravit fixtures and fittings - two are en-suite - along with a further sitting room. The principal bedroom features an excellent range of bespoke wardrobes in black walnut, again by Chambers who also provided the cabinetry in the fabulous en-suite shower room. On the second floor are three further bedrooms or alternatively two bedrooms and a games room along with a bathroom. With its own private access, as well as connection with the main house via internal stairs, the lower ground floor can be used as a private annexe or equally as additional living space. This flexible accommodation has light oak flooring and good storage solutions. The four rooms are presently used as a games room with cloakroom, study, sitting room and a bedroom en-suite and there is a kitchen and utility room.
Outside
The house occupies a commanding position set back from the road, with a wide parking and turning area, along with access to the attached garage and workshop. The gardens to front and rear are expertly landscaped to provide both colour and architecturally interesting plantings. Backing south, to the rear is a stone terrace, traversing the full width of the house, providing a marvellous place for outdoor entertaining. There are large expanses of lawn, fine mature trees, specimen shrubs and colourful herbaceous borders. At the far end of the garden are two further terraces – one a covered eating area with an outdoor kitchen, the second with sunken seating around a fire pit. There is a large storage room and a cloakroom.
Situation
Situated within the Royal Tunbridge Wells Conservation Area of Tunbridge Wells, Camden Hill is one of the town’s premier locations and home to a number of impressive villas constructed in the mid-19th century. The town and station are less than a half-mile walk and the beautiful open spaces of Dunorlan Park less than a mile. Tunbridge Wells is a thriving and vibrant community where there are fabulous boutiques, nationally known stores, cafes, bars and restaurants as well as centres for the arts, theatres and sports establishments. The historic Pantiles are marvellously evocative of the seventeenth century and there are wonderful walks across The Common. Tunbridge Wells mainline station has regular services to the City of London and the West End and the A21 provides a direct route to the M25 and national motorway network. There are many highly regarded schools in the area including Holmewood House preparatory school (Langton Green), Rose Hill in Tunbridge Wells, Mayfield School for Girls, Kent grammar schools in Tunbridge Wells and Tonbridge and public schools in Tonbridge, Sevenoaks and Eastbourne
