What the Owner says:
I really love this location and have lived in this area since the early 1960s as it has everything I need. I had this fascinating property built in 1991 as my dream home and have been thrilled to live in it ever since. It is bright and spacious and a great place for entertaining friends and family, but sadly health issues mean I have to pass the baton on to new owners. Because the house is set so far back off the road it is very quiet and peaceful. However there is easy access to Tonbridge town centre and also to the countryside with Higham Wood just a minute away, so I feel I have the best of all worlds.
It is also only four minutes from Poult Wood and the golf course while Tonbridge station is just seven minutes away. Here trains to London Bridge take just half an hour so you can be in the City or the West End, door to door, within an hour. Higham Lane also leads to the A26 for easy access to the A21 and the M20/M25 motorways.
The historic town of Tonbridge includes a Norman castle built in the 13th century on the banks of the River Medway. This adjoins Tonbridge Park with its swimming pool, tennis courts, miniature railway, putting green and children's play area. While the mainline station is a junction for two railway lines so, not only can you easily get to London, but also to a variety of places in Kent and Sussex.
The vibrant town includes a plethora of independent shops, hair and beauty salons.
