5 Bedrooms Detached house for sale in Spring Hill, Fordcombe, Tunbridge Wells TN3 | £ 1,150,000

Property Description

This is certainly one of those properties that please your eye straight away with its picturesque chocolate box look. Located in Fordcombe which is described as A Beautiful Village In The Garden of England which we equally feel is certainly an apt description. Not every village these days has a village pub however Fordcombe has a lovely period public house that fits in nicely with the area, it's called the Chafford Arms and also has a restaurant and garden with views over the local farm and fields. The property is a grade two listed black and white detached cottage (hence the name) and has 4 to 5 first floor bedrooms as well as 4 ground floor reception rooms (including the conservatory) and has extensive gardens to the front side and rear. The side section of the garden extends back to the top of the lane which gives you some idea of how large this plot is. This impressive home is located in the delightful village of Fordcombe which is just outside the historic Kent County of Royal Tunbridge Wells. This property is located in a private country lane and backs directly onto farmland. From just standing outside and looking up to the property you get a feel that this is something special. And once you are inside you will appreciate the space and character that is featured throughout which includes beams to various wall and ceilings as well as an impressive main reception room with a large inglenook fireplace and vaulted beamed ceiling. When we walked around this ourselves it is noticeable that there is a need for updating and modernisation to various parts of this home which has been reflected in the asking price. The kitchen has a large fitted pine dresser and also a large useful pantry as well as a further deep cupboard where the gas central heating boiler is located. The conservatory opens out to the rear garden and has views to the extensive side part of the garden. From the kitchen you can access the dining room and a further lounge with fireplace. This opens into the front hallway which in turn then has access to the principle reception room which has a staircase leading up to an atrium and the master bedroom suite that includes a dressing room and a bathroom. We could carry on with the list of features but we are sure you will want to see this for yourself when carry out your own viewing which we of course do recommend you book early as we do expect a lot of interest in this very exclusive property. Fordcombe as we have said is an attractive village yet is only around 4 miles from Tunbridge Wells and 3 miles from Penshurst. Eastbourne is around 35 miles away. Within this area are many places of interest to visit as well as the main historic Kent Town of Royal Tunbridge Wells with the impressive Pantiles area. Reeds Rains are joint sole selling agents with Bardens of Tunbridge Wells.
