Eridge Road, Groombridge, TN3

Occupying a privileged semi-rural position surrounded by wonderful countryside on the edge of the village, this unique house, converted from a Victorian stable block, is full of character and charm which needs to be visited in person to be fully appreciated.

Presented very well throughout with generous ceiling heights, the entrance hall is welcoming with polished parquet flooring that continues into the principal rooms of the property and is in excellent condition. The drawing room and dining room at either end of the house both enjoy a double aspect with windows to the front and rear and the dining room, which is part open to the kitchen, has a lovely wood burner set within a brick fireplace. The kitchen is very well fitted with floor and wall mounted units under stone worksurfaces and has a range of appliances with a useful utility room having a door out to the garden and a cloakroom.

On the first floor there are four good size bedrooms all accessed from the long landing and enjoying pleasant outlooks across the gardens. The principal bedroom has a private shower room whilst the remaining three are very well served by a family bathroom and separate W.C.

Outside

Electric gates open to a long driveway shared with two other properties that leads to a parking area to the side of the house and passed brick built stables to a double garage which has an attached workshop.

The outside space is delightful with formal gardens to the front including well-stocked beds, croquet lawn and shingle paths. To the rear, large park-like gardens are mainly laid to lawn with extensive established plants, shrubs and trees – many of which are specimen examples and nestled within is a small summer house in the form of a Kentish oast house – ideal as a unique children’s play house.

There is a paddock to the side measuring about 2.1 acres and in all the gardens and grounds extend to just over 4.8 acres.

Situation

Situated towards the eastern edge of Groombridge, the house occupies a tucked-away, but not isolated, position within walking distance of the village and with some beautiful countryside on the doorstep. Groombridge is a sought-after village in the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with a number of amenities including a general store and Post Office, bakery, two pubs and the Spa Valley Steam Railway. The sought-after town of Royal Tunbridge Wells is about 4 miles (The Pantiles) where there are fabulous boutique stores, nationally known shopping such as Fenwicks, Hoopers and M&S and a wide range of cafes, bars and restaurants, theatres and art centres. Tunbridge Wells mainline rail station has services to London in under an hour and there are many highly regarded schools in the area for boys and girls of all ages including the popular village primary – St Thomas’.
