A very special family home ideally placed for the town, schools and station.
Description
Westover is a most attractive family home, originally built in 1937 and later extended and re-modelled.
The property is tucked away in a secluded setting in the Mount Ephraim area of Tunbridge Wells at the end of a long, private entrance drive.
The accommodation is well presented throughout, with a crisp contemporary finish and includes a light and spacious bespoke-designed kitchen/dining room with oak flooring, an island unit, a large L-shaped breakfast bar and a four oven Aga as a traditional contrast to the contemporary theme.
The two generously proportioned formal reception rooms are inter-inked to provide adaptable space, one featuring a stone fireplace and one with direct access via a spiral staircase to the principal bedroom suite upstairs. The principal ground floor rooms all open out to an extensive rear terrace and the garden on the south-easterly side, which creates excellent outdoor space for entertaining, with a secluded aspect.
Upstairs, there are 5/6 bedrooms (two en suite and one currently being used as a study) and a family bathroom. The principal bedroom suite is most impressive, with a striking en suite bath/shower room, a fitted dressing room and private access via a spiral staircase.
The setting of the property within its delightful mature gardens and grounds is a real feature, with distinctive areas of outside space and a south easterly aspect to the rear.
To the front, there is space for parking on the drive and access to the garage. A path leads up to the front door and curves around an extensive rockery with mature planting and then continues round to the rear. To the side are two good areas of well maintained lawn, the first having raised vegetable beds, next to the garage. Beyond the second lawn, there is an area of wooded garden with pathways and access to the compost bins. The path culminates with a generous rear entertaining terrace, which is nicely sheltered, has good access from the house and a path leading to a large summerhouse with heater, TV point and alarm system. There are steps from the terrace up to a further raised sun deck looking down to the house, yet still with seclusion, being shielded by trees and a large bank of rhododendron. The total plot extends in all to about 0.70 acres.
Location
Westover enjoys a tucked away position, within the Tunbridge Wells Conservation Area, lying between Boyne Park, Summerfield Road, Mayfield Road and Molyneaux Park Road on the north-westerly side of the town.
This one-off home is secluded and ideally placed with the town centre, Pantiles and the mainline station with regular commuter services to London all within about a mile, making it an ideal base for family life.
The town’s extensive amenities include the Royal Victoria Place shopping centre with Fenwicks Department Store and other major stores, two theatres, many pubs, cafes and restaurants, the High Street, well known for its specialist shops and Hoopers Department Store, the historic Pantiles area with summer Jazz evenings and an out-of-town retail park.
In addition, the area is well placed for several well regarded schools including Bishops Down primary school and the Wells Free school at Royal Wells Park, reached within about 0.9 miles and 0.6 miles respectively.
At secondary level there are the Boys’ and Girls’ Grammar Schools and Skinners in the St John’s area, as well as Bennett Memorial (about 1.1 miles), St Gregory’s RC about 1.6 miles) and independent preparatories including Rose Hill, The Mead and Holmewood House in Langton Green. Independent senior schools include Mayfield, Sevenoaks, Tonbridge, Eastbourne and Bedes in Upper Dicker.
Finally, there is great dog walking available, with the extensive open spaces and woods of the Tunbridge Wells Common, which is en route to the town centre and delightful villages and countryside which lie in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty which surrounds the town in all directions.
Communications: The A21, accessible just north of Tunbridge Wells, links directly to the M25 (junction 5) and thereby to London and the national motorway network. Gatwick Airport is about 22 miles to the West via the A264.
