An Opportunity To Purchase A Superb High Wealdon Country House

 

12 ACRES (stms) - An enchanting small country estate situated in a stunning elevated position with panoramic unspoilt views of farmland and woodlands down a peaceful country lane within the locally known  ‘golden triangle’. This superb estate is just 10 minutes from Royal Tunbridge Wells with all the facilities of a Spa Town including regular train services to London. This medieval unlisted 5 bedroomed home was re-erected in 1983 to very high specifications and amounts to around 5,500 sq ft with further planning to convert the nine stables into 3 bedroom detached holiday accommodation. We believe the property can still be extended greatly and that the planning on the stables could be converted to staff accommodation (stpp). Outside, the property is approached over a long gravel driveway opening up to a large parking area and three bay hipped cart barn. Until very recently there was a very large agricultural building on site which we believe may be re-instated as an indoor school/arena (stp). There are three acres of formal landscaped gardens, orchard, ornamental pond, vegetable garden and lawn tennis court. Most of the acreage is prime grassland with an area of oak woodlands. Kent is well served for some of the best schools/education in England and both Heathrow Airport and Knightsbridge are just 1 hour away.
