Kings Toll Road, Pembury, Tunbridge Wells

Tucked away off a peaceful single-track country lane and backing onto open farmland, Cottleston Farm occupies an enviable position in one of Pembury’s most desirable areas. Offering a tranquil rural setting with the convenience of nearby amenities, the property is within close reach of the picturesque villages of Pembury and Matfield. It also benefits from excellent access to the vibrant town centre of Royal Tunbridge Wells, the retail and transport hub of Tonbridge, and falls within the catchment area for a number of highly regarded grammar schools.

Owned by the same family for over 30 years, this elegant and expansive detached bungalow offers over 2,500 sq ft of beautifully arranged accommodation, set within approximately two acres of mature, well-tended gardens. The layout provides excellent flexibility and can accommodate multigenerational living, with a generous footprint and a number of adaptable rooms.

The original plot is being split (with the current owners retaining the two barn conversions) and a new driveway is being installed approaching the property from the lower boundary to provide discrete access with ample parking for multiple vehicles. At the main entrance, a covered porch offers a practical area for storing outdoor footwear and includes a convenient log store.

Inside, a wide and welcoming entrance hall sets the tone for the space and light that flows throughout the home. At the heart of the property lies the kitchen – a thoughtfully designed space combining traditional character with modern finishes. Sleek cabinetry, integrated appliances, and generous counter space are complemented by slate flooring and two large windows that bring in an abundance of natural light.

Adjacent to the kitchen is a spacious utility room offering practical storage and laundry facilities, along with direct access to the garden.

Bifold doors from the kitchen open into a stunning open-plan reception and dining area – a truly impressive space designed for both everyday living and entertaining. Beautiful oak flooring runs throughout, while a feature exposed brick wall houses a wood-burning stove, adding warmth and character. Three sets of French doors – two south-facing and one west-facing – open onto the garden, creating a strong connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces.

The bedroom accommodation is arranged in the right wing of the property and accessed via a generous internal hallway, complete with a double-height ceiling, Velux windows for natural ventilation, and access to extensive loft storage.

The principal bedroom is a peaceful and spacious retreat, with built-in wardrobes and French doors that open onto the rear garden. The accompanying en-suite bathroom is finished to a high standard, featuring a vaulted ceiling, large walk-in shower, and a bath.

Two further generous double bedrooms with integrated storage, a comfortable single bedroom, a fifth bedroom that can accommodate a small double or serve as a guest room, and a sixth flexible space – ideal as a dressing room, study, or playroom – complete the sleeping accommodation.

A stylish family bathroom with contemporary tiling, a modern wash basin, bath and WC serves the remaining bedrooms.

The garden is a true highlight – tranquil and established, with well-stocked borders that offer colour and interest for much of the year. A patio area laid with reclaimed pavers provides an ideal spot for al fresco dining and entertaining during the warmer months.

The property also benefits from approved planning permission for a triple garage and a substantial extension, including the incorporation of the courtyard into the internal footprint and the addition of a first-floor bedroom with en-suite and extensive loft storage.
