Tudeley, Tonbridge, Kent, TN11

An impressive Regency Vicarage house with Victorian additions and a separate adjoining cottage (being sold Chain Free) , set within private gardens and grounds, together with an unconverted coach house, a studio/office/garage complex, further outbuildings, and well placed for schools and commuting.

Ground floor
The noticeable front door opens into a grand yet welcoming central hall with an impressive staircase and historic working fireplace. The main reception rooms and the cloakroom run off the hallway together with access through the house to the kitchen. The elegant drawing room benefits from windows on both the north and south sides, whilst a side door to the vestry acts in supplication to the drawing room and provides further access outside. The reception room on the immediate left of the entrance hallway, with the large facing bay window, is now being used as a working office but has had historical use as a morning room and reception room for the clergy. A delightful flow through this room leads into a grand and beautifully appointed formal dining room which then sits alongside the kitchen, breakfast room and utility room (together with a large and cool original larder with marble shelving). A staircase leads down to a well-sized cellar.


First floor
The central staircase leads up to the first-floor landing, which provides ideal access to the vicarage's four main bedrooms; the dual-aspect master bedroom enjoys views over the manicured garden and offers an en suite bathroom and dressing room and sits alongside three additional double bedrooms together with a family bathroom. On the second floor, a fifth bedroom, bathroom and additional relaxation area provides excellent views of the North Downs, together with access to ample storage space in the attic.

The Cottage
Accessed through its own separate entrance (but also benefiting from access through the main house), the cottage provides either a separate independent domicile alongside the main vicarage or an easily-encompassed living space to become part of the house itself. A separate kitchen (also with a sizeable larder) and a newly refurbished bathroom sit on the ground floor alongside a sitting room full of character. Stairs lead up to a pair of bedrooms on the first floor, which sit alongside an additional study/storage space.

The property is approached via timber gates which lead to a large shingle parking area to the front of the house. There is a double garage with an integrated studio/home office complex with a shower room. The gardens wrap around the house and are mostly laid to lawn with manicured borders around the property which are well stocked with mature shrubs and plants. There is a separate coach house and stables, a tree house, a tractor store and a tennis court.
