Property Description

A beautiful Arts and Crafts property, exquisitely refurbished and with planning permission to extend, situated just a short drive from Tunbridge Wells, yet with a real sense of peace and calm from its elevated position and exceptional open views across the surrounding countryside.

Description

Rose Cottage is a very fine Victorian detached property, sitting just outside Groombridge and a five minute drive away from The Pantiles, and Tunbridge Wells station. The property presents a light and contemporary space whilst retaining attractive period features. The rooms on both floors are of very good size and outside the beautiful garden has the most exceptional views, offering a rare sense of peace and calm, despite its extremely convenient location. The current owner has improved the property both internally and externally, to include a new roof, refurbished fascias and restored window frames. The garden has also been recently landscaped to take advantage of this property’s exceptional setting, with a large terrace that is bathed in sunshine throughout the day. In addition there is planning permission granted to extend the ground floor living accommodation (to create a large open plan kitchen / diner / sitting room), to convert the garage into a self contained annexe and install an outside swimming pool (planning ref: Wd/2018/1549/F).

A utility room to the front of the house and a well-appointed cloakroom complete the ground floor accommodation of this lovely residence.

First Floor Accommodation
