Nevill Park, Tunbridge Wells, TN4 8NW

The House. The property began life as a coach house and has been extended and adapted over the years to create a very individual home with just under 2,600 sq ft of flexible accommodation.

At the heart of the house is the Kitchen/Dining Room, a large and sociable space with grey units, unusually deep dark stone worktops, a central island and a bright yellow AGA which gives the room real personality. There is plenty of room for a large dining table, while glazed doors open directly onto the garden.

The main living rooms connect particularly well. The Drawing Room extends to almost 25 feet, with the Snug tucked around the corner and partially open to it. Beyond, the Sitting Room can either remain part of the wider living space or be closed off with a substantial sliding door.

A wide internal window between the Drawing Room and Sitting Room maintains a visual connection between the two rooms even when separated. Herringbone wood flooring with a neat border detail continues through the principal reception spaces and helps tie them together, while the Snug has a wood-burning stove set within a simple brick fireplace.

There is also a separate Study, giving somewhere quieter to work away from the main living areas.

Upstairs are four bedrooms, three with fitted wardrobes. The main bedroom has a vaulted ceiling which adds to the sense of space, and there are two well-finished bath/shower rooms.

The house is in very good order throughout and is offered with no onward chain.

Outside. The gardens extend to just over 0.3 acres and are a real feature of the house, with far more space and privacy than might first be expected from such a central position.

Old brick walls form much of the boundary, combining with mature trees, established hedging and planting to create a wonderfully enclosed setting. Areas of lawn sit amongst flowering trees, shrubs and deep borders, while a broad paved terrace runs alongside the house with direct access from several of the ground-floor rooms.

There are various seating areas around the garden, while the mature planting and walls add to the sense of seclusion.

The gravel drive provides generous parking, with an electric car charging point, and there is also a garden shed with power and lighting.

For a house this close to central Tunbridge Wells, the combination of space, privacy and mature walled gardens is particularly unusual.

Nevill Park. Nevill Park is one of Tunbridge Wells' most highly regarded private roads, known for its substantial individual houses, mature trees and established gardens. Tunbridge Wells Common lies close by, adding to the greenery and sense of space around this part of town.

Its appeal is the combination of privacy and convenience, with a setting that feels removed from the centre of town yet remains very much part of Tunbridge Wells.

Situation. The property is particularly well placed for central Tunbridge Wells, with The Pantiles, High Street and mainline station all less than a mile away. The town offers an excellent mix of independent shops, cafés and restaurants, while the station provides regular services to London.

Tunbridge Wells Common is also close by and is one of the town’s great assets, with its open spaces, woodland and network of paths providing a beautiful contrast to the town centre. There is also an excellent choice of both state and independent schooling locally, including Holmewood House and the highly regarded grammar schools.
