Detached house for sale in Tunbridge Wells TN3, 5 Bedroom

Set at the head of a sweeping drive, Spray Hill House is an imposing and handsome, detached country house of quality which was originally built towards the end of the nineteenth century for the local doctor. The present owners have recently carried out a comprehensive programme of refurbishment and extension, resulting in a large family house which blends together the atmosphere of a period property with the space and technology of the twenty first century. Features such as tall ceilings with cornicing, wall panelling in the hall and a mix of fireplace styles, marry together well with modern glazing by Heritage Windows, an integrated sound system and LED lighting. External elevations are of painted render under a slate tiled roof, whilst internally the accommodation is laid out over two floors together with cellarage. Reception areas are gracious whilst the newly added kitchen/breakfast/family room is a superb and bright space enjoying a triple aspect, furnished with contemporary style cabinetry and rough-hewn granite work surfaces, over-sized porcelain floor tiles and an LED lighting system. In total there are five bedrooms arranged over the upper level, serviced by three bathrooms, two of which are en-suite. The principal suite spaciously provides a fully fitted dressing room and an en-suite bathroom, which has floor and wall tiles by Mandarin stone and contemporary styled sanitary ware.

Situation
Spray Hill House is situated in a wonderful location at the edge of the popular village of Lamberhurst, the centre of which is approximately 0.2 miles stroll. The village has a vibrant and thriving community with local shops including butcher, baker, general store and public houses. The Royal Spa Town of Tunbridge Wells is about eight miles away with its marvellous selection of stores, artisan shops, antiques, restaurants, cafes, theatres and sporting venues.
West Kent is renowned for the excellent selection of schools in both the state and private sectors, at primary and secondary levels including primary schools in Lamberhurst and the surrounding villages, grammar schools in Tunbridge Wells and Tonbridge, public schools such as Tonbridge, Sevenoaks and Benenden and preparatory schools including the schools at Somerhill, Marlborough House, St Ronans, Holmewood House and Hilden Grange.

Outside
Approached via a pair of solid, electric gates and a sweeping gravel drive leading to a large parking and turning area in front of the house, the gardens surround the house and are landscaped to provide seclusion. Mature trees and mixed hedging give way to lawned areas and a paved terrace. Behind a low, retaining wall is the swimming pool and a timber chalet. A further area of land has been left as a natural space and has the potential to be landscaped by a new owner.
