Arranged over three floors, the house has an easy, practical flow that works particularly well for family living, with generous reception rooms, a large kitchen/breakfast room and five bedrooms, including an impressive principal bedroom suite. The house is presented in very good order, with excellent natural light and a strong connection to its surroundings throughout. Its position is a real highlight, with views across the private garden, shared paddocks and the surrounding countryside, together with direct access into the land beyond.

The ground floor is arranged around a welcoming entrance hall, with the main reception spaces leading naturally from here. The drawing room is an excellent size, measuring over 26 ft in length, with a calm, comfortable feel and doors opening to the garden. It has real volume, helped by the proportions and ceiling height, and works well for both family life and entertaining. There is also a dining room and a family room, giving useful flexibility for working from home, quieter spaces or different generations. The kitchen/breakfast room is bright, spacious and sociable, with a vaulted ceiling, rooflight, central island and space for informal dining. It has a warm, relaxed feel, with timber flooring, painted cabinetry and views out to the garden. The adjoining breakfast and dining areas create a natural heart to the house, with doors outside and an easy connection to the garden. Practical space includes a utility room, cloakroom and study area. The first floor includes an impressive principal bedroom, extending to over 24 ft and enjoying lovely views. It has its own dressing and bathroom areas, creating a generous private suite. There are two further bedrooms on this floor, together with bathrooms and access to the second floor. Upstairs, the top floor provides excellent additional accommodation, including two further bedrooms, a play room or dressing room, a loft room and shower facilities, giving the house great flexibility.

Outside

The private garden measures just over 0.3 acres and is beautifully kept, with broad lawns, mature planting and lovely places to sit and enjoy the views. A private gate opens directly into the communal paddocks, which extend to just over 5 acres and are shared between the four houses that make up The Old Riding School. This home enjoys arguably the best position, with direct access, wonderful outlooks and a peaceful setting. There is also a shared tennis court, private stables, a garage, shed and further useful outbuildings.

Situation

The setting is a major part of the appeal. The house sits within the grounds of the Leyswood Estate, approached by a long tree-lined drive passing open fields and rocky outcrops. It feels wonderfully peaceful and tucked away, yet remains on the edge of Groombridge, a highly regarded village with pubs, a shop, bakery and strong local community. The surrounding countryside is especially attractive, with excellent walks, riding routes and a relaxed village lifestyle close at hand, while nearby Tunbridge Wells offers a wider choice of amenities.
