6 bed detached house for sale

Claremont Gardens, Tunbridge Wells TN2

In the ‘village area’ of Tunbridge Wells, at the head of a quiet, sought-after cul-de-sac and perfectly positioned for access to both the station, High Street, The Pantiles and Grove Park, an exceptionally well-crafted house of distinction sitting within a double plot of landscaped gardens, backing south. Conceived and constructed by the current owners, the project was completed in 2022 and was designed to create a contemporary but comfortable family house, that is ideal for entertaining friends and family alike. With distinctive stone exteriors to the front and painted render elsewhere, architectural notes include coated zinc detailing to the porch that complement the stone as well as the painted render to the rear, whilst the uv filtered double-glazed windows and sliding doors are all powder coated. Styled with sophistication, internally the specification is again very high and includes a Control 4 home automative system, air conditioning to the second floor, under floor heating to the ground and lower ground floors - as well as in all bath/shower rooms and a custom designed wine wall. Extending to 4,828 square feet (excluding 896 square feet of under croft storage areas) the accommodation is laid out over four floors. Due to the expansive glazing, natural light floods through the property and also allows for a very fine outlook over the gardens. Large porcelain floor tiles throughout the ground floor connect the one space seamlessly with the next. The stunning open plan/living/dining/kitchen/breakfast room is a wonderful area with floor to ceiling glazing to two sides and sliding doors to the balcony, as well as a glazed staircase to the lower ground floor and double doors to the family room. With direct access to the garden, the lower level features a wine wall, a gym with shower room and a games/media room with a fitted bar. Laid out across the upper two floors are five spacious bedrooms, supported by four bath/shower rooms, two of which are en-suite. The principal suite has a fully fitted dressing room and a dual aspect that highlights views of the gardens and beyond.

Outside

The secluded and mature gardens have been superbly landscaped by Sue Blakeley, whose scheme strives to employ colour, sophistication and fun into all elements. To one side a large terrace has been laid where a marvellous outdoor kitchen has been installed with ample space for a large dining table that continues to the fully fitted seating area with a water feature and gas fire pit. Large lawned areas have some mature trees and shrubs, whilst herbaceous borders have luxuriant, fragrant planting. To the front of the house is a large parking and turning area with space for five vehicles.
