A striking modernist home designed by acclaimed architect Brian Peake FRIBA. Set against a backdrop of woodland and sandstone rock, this unique five-bedroom, three bath/shower room 1960s house offers seclusion, light-filled interiors, and captivating design, all just moments from the heart of Tunbridge Wells.

A truly rare opportunity to acquire a home of such architectural integrity and serenity. Designed in the early 1960s by respected London architect Brian Peake FRIBA, this exceptional five-bedroom property is nestled into the landscape and built around a striking outcrop of natural sandstone rock. Offering both seclusion and proximity to town, the house invites a sense of calm, privacy and connection to nature from every angle.

The home’s orientation on an east/south axis ensures abundant light throughout the day. Floor-to-ceiling windows across the split-level layout showcase mature woodland views that shift with the seasons, creating a timeless and inspiring living environment.

On entering, you’re welcomed into an entrance lobby with built-in storage, leading to an impressive open-plan dining area. This space flows naturally into the kitchen and looks onto the lower ground floor sitting room, allowing light to move freely and drawing the outdoors in. The dining area opens to a large rear decked terrace overlooking the rock and garden, perfect for morning coffee or warm evenings with friends. There is also a versatile room on this level, currently used as a bedroom, which could equally serve as a study or playroom.

The kitchen is thoughtfully designed with granite worktops, a smoked glass breakfast bar and integrated appliances, including a Stoves range-style cooker and concealed fridge and dishwasher. Practicality and elegance sit comfortably side by side here.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom is a true retreat. Large picture windows make the garden feel like a natural extension of the room. An en-suite bathroom and fitted wardrobes complete the space. Two further bedrooms on this level all enjoy peaceful views and generous proportions, while a modern family bathroom is finished with warm tones and natural textures.

The lower ground floor is another standout feature, home to a tranquil, light-filled sitting room with wood-panelled ceilings, a Stovax fireplace, and direct garden views. A snug and a generous double bedroom with en-suite shower room are also found here, ideal for guests or multi-generational living. A walk-in utility cupboard and garden access make this level both functional and flexible, and it could serve well as annexe accommodation.

Outside, the property is surrounded by lush, established gardens that blend effortlessly with the woodland beyond. A terrace wraps around the rear of the house, offering several peaceful spots to sit and watch the landscape shift through the year. A garage and driveway add to the practicality of this special home.

The total plot extends to 0.31 of an acre.

This is more than just a property. It’s a home with soul, architectural presence and an unmatched setting. For those seeking a house that’s both beautiful and truly individual, this rare offering delivers on every level.
