Pembury Road, Tunbridge Wells, Kent

Situated within the beautiful Dunorlan Park, this unique contemporary house with its gambrel roof lines has been extended and renovated with no expense spared. It nestles in about 0.7 of an acre of grounds and is approached down a gravelled drive, bordered by front lawns, hedges, trees and shrubs.

The awe inspiring reception hall has oak flooring, a contemporary spiral wine cellar in the centre and access to a double bedroom with air conditioning, bi-folds doors to the terrace and an ensuite shower. An inner hall area includes the oak staircase and access to a fitted study, a dual aspect TV room/gym with bi-fold doors to the garden, a cloakroom and the stunning open plan living space with porcelain tiled flooring and underfloor heating that is also in the bathrooms.

The sitting area has windows or bi-fold doors on all sides and a large modern log burner, while the spacious dining area features a glass wine wall and four bi-fold windows. The gorgeous kitchen includes a gas Aga and hand-crafted Harvey Jones units with indestructible worktops housing various appliances and a central island with an oak breakfast bar and an adjacent utility room.

The vaulted galleried landing has a seating area, fitted cupboards and French doors to a Juliette balcony. There are four air conditioned double bedrooms with fitted cupboards and ensuite facilities including one with access to a balcony and the principal with a dressing room and a contemporary bath in the bedroom.

Above the garage is a studio apartment with a fitted kitchen, ensuite shower and utility room while in the rear garden there is a cedar clad building with four bi-fold doors, internet and air conditioning.

Roger Platts, winner of five gold medals at the Chelsea Flower Show, designed and constructed the garden around many of the existing mature trees and plantings. There is a large upper terrace bordered by a dwarf wall, shrubs and trees and a lower terrace with a hot tub and a pond flanked by sweeping lawns interspersed with trees, shrubs and hedging. The front garden also includes a tree-lined area and a pergola covered walkway.

The property benefits from a home automation system and all the fitted bedroom and office furniture is made by Neville Johnson.

What the Owner says:

What the owners say: We bought the property over 10 years ago when we were still living abroad as we felt that it was such a wonderful location. We then spent a great deal of time and effort extending and renovating the property and moved in about six years ago. We have been extremely delighted with the results and hope that new owners will enjoy it as much as we have. It is very special living in Dunorlan Park with the lake and the beautiful parkland while the dogs just think it is their very own back garden.
We can easily walk to the Pantiles, the town centre and the station where trains to London Bridge only take 44 minutes. We are close to good schools, a bus route and not far from the Neville Golf Club and Tunbridge Wells rugby, tennis and cricket clubs. There is also the indoor sports and tennis centre and a swimming pool.
Tunbridge Wells or, more formally Royal Tunbridge Wells, became a famous spa town in Regency times when it was frequented by the aristocracy who came to take the waters and enjoy the entertainment organised by Beau Nash. Much of this historic town was developed during that time including the Pantiles that now offers a delightful mix of independent shops, bars and restaurants. While the rest of the town includes high street stores, a variety of eateries, individual shops, hair and beauty salons and a number of hotels as well as retail parks. Entertainment facilities include a nine-screen Odeon cinema, the Trinity theatre, the well-respected Assembly
