About this property

SOLD BY HAMPTONS. Set in an elevated position on the rural outskirts of Groombridge, a substantial family home with excellent proportions throughout and secluded wrap around gardens.

Built in 2017 to an exacting standard, this family home has 21st century technologies including underfloor heating and double glazing throughout making it very energy efficient but is balanced with the character and features of a country house with an inglenook fireplace, part tile hanging and attractive gables. Every room has excellent proportions from the spacious entrance hall with all the rooms leading off it, to the charming living room with double doors leading to the study. The double aspect kitchen/breakfast room with shaker style cabinetry and a large island unit leads through to the most dramatic family/reception room with its vaulted ceiling, velux windows and bi-fold doors to the rear and French doors to the front making it incredibly light and bright.

On the first floor are five excellent bedrooms all leading off the wide galleried landing. The principal bedroom has views to the front, a walk-in dressing area and high specification bath/shower room. There is a second guest suite to the front and three further bedrooms, all well served by the family bath/shower room.

Outside
In an elevated position, the house is approached up a sweeping block-paved driveway with the double garage conveniently positioned under the banked and elevated garden with parking for several vehicles. The gardens are a particular feature with a large swathe of lawn and terrace area to the front, well-screened by mature laurel hedging. Ideal as a children’s play area and an excellent spot to enjoy the afternoon sun as it is west facing. The rear garden has been cleverly designed with a mixture of soft and hard landscaping to provide a Mediterranean style built-in seating area around a firepit with rendered walls, inset lighting, slate tiles and a raised dining area with contemporary screening; perfect for evening entertaining. Accessed from the bi-fold doors of the family/reception room, the whole area makes for great inside/outside living and relaxing.

Situation
Situated towards the southern edge of Groombridge, the house is perfectly positioned for all that village life has to offer as well as for access to the lovely Ashdown Forest and local countryside via the network of public footpaths nearby. The thriving village of Groombridge has an active community with a local store, bakery, various hostelries including The Crown in Old Groombridge and the village hall, which adjoins the village cricket ground. The sought after town of Royal Tunbridge Wells is about 4.6 miles (The Pantiles) where there are fabulous boutique stores, nationally known shopping such as Fenwicks, Hoopers and M&S, cafés, bars and restaurants, theatres and art centres. Tunbridge Wells mainline rail station has services to London Cannon Street, Charing Cross and London Bridge in under an hour. There are many highly regarded schools in the area including the village primary – St Thomas’, Holmewood House preparatory school, Rose Hill, Brambletye in East Grinstead, the Michael Hall School in Forest Row, Kent grammar schools in Tunbridge Wells and Tonbridge and public schools in Tonbridge, Sevenoaks and Eastbourne.
