In a glorious, semi-rural location off a quiet access lane at the edge of the historic village of Lamberhurst, an enticing opportunity to acquire a country property with fascinating potential. Deliciously tranquil, enjoying privacy and seclusion yet with wonderful, far-reaching views across its own land and beyond, the current property is set up to provide a detached residential unit with various barns, stabling, outbuildings and a sand school which – subject to required planning permissions - could come together to form an exceptionally rare opportunity to create a stunning estate or equestrian property. Approached via a long tree-lined drive, the house itself dates probably from the 1960s and has accommodation laid out over two floors, extending to approximately 3,107 square feet. Very much a loved family home, the house is perfectly positioned to take full advantage of wonderful views over the gently undulating countryside and is flexibly arranged to include a ground floor annexe if required. Reception areas on the ground floor have large windows and glazed doors for taking in the outlook with the drawing room having a distinctive brick fireplace. The kitchen/breakfast/dining room has wall and base units with a central island and an oil-fired Aga and opens through to the boot room where there is a shower room and access to the family room/annexe.
Laid out over the upper level are four bedrooms that include the principal suite where there are two dressing rooms and an en-suite bathroom. A shower room services the remaining bedrooms.
Outside
The house is set at the head of a long, private access drive that spurs off to the house – allowing for ample parking and turning – and continues on to the stable yard. Gardens with herbaceous borders, terracing and lawns adjoin the house, while off to one side is the pool chalet where there is a good-sized pool (44’2” x 24’9”), changing facilities and a shower room. The yard is a series of barns and ten loose boxes with a tack room and office – power and water connected. Consisting of fenced paddocks and pasture along with beautiful deciduous woodland, the land is a haven for wildlife and includes ponds and a share of a large lake. Whilst at the same time providing excellent grazing and free from public footpaths or public bridleways, there is private hacking within the property and access via local, quiet country lanes to the thirteen mile circuit around Bewl Water.
Situation
In a tranquil yet not isolated location, while offering the serenity of a semi-rural setting with gorgeous views, the house is set at the edge of the popular village of Lamberhurst (1.4 miles to the village centre) where there are local amenities such as a convenience store, various public houses, primary school and St Mary’s church, whilst Lamberhurst vineyard and pub/restaurant is about 1 mile away by public road. Wadhurst is just over 3.5 miles with its collection of stores, cafes and restaurants, whilst the Royal Spa town of Tunbridge Wells has an excellent selection of nationally known and artisan stores, boutiques, bars, restaurants and cafes as well as centres for the arts and is about 7 miles to The Pantiles. For commuters trains to London and the south coast can be found at either Frant or Wadhurst stations – each just over 4 miles from the house – with access to the national motorway network via the A21 is just over 2 miles. The area is renowned for its excellent selection of state and private schools including local village primary schools, Tonbridge and Sevenoaks public schools, Kent grammar schools in Tunbridge Wells and Tonbridge and prep schools such as the Schools at Somerhill and Holmewood House. Sporting and riding opportunities abound with many golf, cricket, ruby, football and tennis clubs nearby.
