Rustwick, Tunbridge Wells, TN4

Occupying a privileged tucked-away position along a private road, adjoining the old golf course and on the edge of Tunbridge Wells, a unique and very impressive detached 1930’s house; superbly designed and styled for modern living with aspects of the original architecture blending seamlessly with countless contemporary design features. With wonderful outlooks to the rear in a desirable quiet location, this fabulous property offers contemporary accommodation yet with a lovely homely feel. Extended and re-modelled in recent years, the present owners have carried out a comprehensive programme of works resulting in a fabulous and impressive individual home.

The accommodation, which is arranged across two floors, is superb with areas of open plan space and private living areas extending to just under 2,000 sq ft; all beautifully styled and presented. Of particular note is the Kitchen/Dining/Family room - a stunning open and part-vaulted space with tall sliding and bi-folding doors combining with feature windows and roof-lights to create a very special area full of natural light. The kitchen is beautifully fitted with extensive floor and wall mounted units including a wide island incorporating a breakfast bar. There are a range of integrated appliances, ample space for a dining table and chairs as well as more relaxed furniture and the aforementioned doors make the most of the views and open directly to the garden. At the front of the house, the drawing room is a double reception space with windows, including a wonderful wide bay looking out to the private garden, beautifully crafted cabinetry to one wall creating a study/library area and a limestone fireplace with contemporary cast iron wood-burning stove. A separate snug/study has been cleverly created and all rooms are accessed from the entrance hall which, with further impressive storage including seating and engineered oak flooring creates an excellent first impression. A cloakroom and fitted utility room with sink, cupboards and space/plumbing for a washing machine and tumble drier complete the ground floor accommodation.

On the first floor the principal bedroom, with wide bay window and feature panelling, is a lovely room and has a private shower room and walk-in dressing room. The remaining three bedrooms are all beautifully styled with the two at the rear enjoying the fine views and all are very well served by an excellent family bathroom.

Outside

To the front of the house the gardens are private and very well screened with modern fencing with a herringbone brick laid pathway with lawns and planting to either side leading to the front door. To the rear the garden has been professionally landscaped with a terrace, tiled to match the kitchen, providing a fine area in which to sit, dine, entertain and enjoy the view and an area of artificial lawn. Side access provides a useful space for sheds and well-planned outdoor lighting creates a superb ambience after dark.

Situation

Overlooking the old Tunbridge Wells golf course to the rear and forming part of this exclusive private road, the property enjoys an enviable peaceful position with a semi-rural feel yet is within easy reach of local amenities. Tunbridge Wells itself is walking distance with the famous Pantiles about 1.2 miles and the train station a little further and the area is incredibly well served in terms of educational facilities with schools for boys and girls of all ages.
