The Old Laundry, Tudeley, Tonbridge, TN11

A characterful Victorian home in an idyllic countryside setting, the Old Laundry was commissioned by Sir Julian Goldsmid as a laundry to serve Somerhill, which is within walking distance over the neighbouring fields. It was converted and extended to the highest standards into a stunning house in the 1980s.

Nestled in the heart of Park Farm, Tudeley, this striking property dates back to the 19th century and offers almost 5,300 sq ft of versatile living space - ideal for families, multigenerational living, or those seeking a peaceful rural retreat.

From the moment you enter, the sense of space and light is striking. The welcoming reception hallway leads you to two elegant reception rooms, each featuring generous proportions, high ceilings, and characterful period details.

At the heart of the home lies an impressive open-plan Neptune kitchen and dining room - a true centrepiece for family life and entertaining. Extensively extended and fitted with an oven, hob and extractor, this contemporary space is perfectly positioned to enjoy views across the terrace and gardens.

The ground floor also features a study, a practical separate utility or laundry room, a guest cloakroom, and access to the integrated double garage, offering plentiful storage and secure parking.

In one wing, the principal bedroom suite is a sanctuary, complete with a generous dressing room or study, fitted dressing room and en suite bathroom.
