4 bed detached house for sale

Hadlow Park, Hadlow, Tonbridge, Kent TN11

The prestigious Hadlow Park is a private development of 35 detached houses with large gardens built in the early 1960s and set in about 18 acres. It is rare for properties here to come on the market and this detached family home has had the same owners since it was built in 1962 and still includes superb original features. It nestles in 0.62 acres of garden and woodlands and is approached along a private road leading to a drive for off road parking, a garage and the enclosed front porch. This opens into a lobby with a utility room/cloakroom and a door to the kitchen/breakfast room that has shaker style wood units and tiled worktops, various appliances and space for a breakfast table.

An alternative entrance is through French doors to the triple aspect garden room with tiled flooring, wood framed windows and a pine panelled ceiling. This opens into the impressive reception hall with original herringbone patterned teak flooring, the original open tread teak staircase with a wrought iron and teak bannister and views of the galleried landing.

There is direct access to the L shaped dual aspect sitting room/dining room with a stone fireplace and log burner plus patio doors to the garden. A wide arch leads through to the dining area with a door to the kitchen. There is also a separate playroom/snug/study.

Upstairs you will find a family bathroom and a separate shower room as well as a single bedroom with a fitted cupboard and three doubles including the nearly 20ft long, dual aspect principal bedroom with wood flooring. It is adjacent to the bathroom so that could be redesigned to create ensuite/dressing room facilities.

Outside there is a rear patio and a covered walkway adjacent to the back of the house and the garage that could be enclosed to provide additional accommodation, subject to planning. The rest of the garden includes lawned areas interspersed with trees and shrub beds and surrounded by woodland.

Please refer to the footnote regarding the services and appliances.

What the Owner says:
This has been a wonderful and happy family home for some 63 years and it is only for health reasons that it is now being sold. Although the house needs modernising it is in a great location, was solidly built, has delightful original features and large rooms as well as being on a private road so is very safe for children and pets, and is just waiting for new owners to make it their own.
We are only half a mile from the charming village of Hadlow, which is in a Conservation area and includes many attractive period properties such as the Hadlow Tower, a variety of shops, pubs, restaurants, hairdressers, church, library and a medical centre. For the more energetic there are cricket and bowls clubs as well as a good primary school and the renowned Hadlow College of Agriculture and Horticulture that includes the Broadview Gardens complex where you can enjoy wandering around 10 acres of grounds.

It is not far from the bustling market town of Tonbridge that lies alongside the River Medway and has its origins in the 10th century with the castle being built in the 11th century. Most of the shops can be found in the high street and include clothes shops, hair and beauty salons, banks, bakers, butchers and a fishmongers along with plenty of bars and restaurants with more retail outlets on the outskirts of the town. There are three medical centres in the town, four dental and three veterinary practices.
