Tudeley, Tonbridge, Kent, TN11

A charming character home in a superb rural location of the High Weald.

Description

Originally the Old Laundry for Somerhill, this property has been beautifully transformed into a contemporary family home, set within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Upon entering, you're welcomed into a spacious entrance hall with high ceilings and stone flooring. A captivating view through to the rear of the house draws you toward the heart of the home—the expansive open-plan kitchen and dining area.

With its vaulted ceiling, four skylights, and a full wall of floor-to-ceiling windows and bi-fold doors, this bright and airy space is bathed in natural light. It offers seamless access to the patio and garden beyond. The kitchen is thoughtfully designed with Neptune cabinetry, granite work surfaces, and a central island, complemented by a selection of high-quality appliances. Beneath the vaulted ceiling, there’s ample room for a large dining table, while the opposite side of the room offers a cozy sitting area.

From the hallway and the kitchen, two elegant reception rooms are accessible, both featuring high arched ceilings. The larger of the two rooms is distinguished by a striking Chinoiserie mural that adorns both the walls and ceiling. A third reception room offers the perfect space for a snug or playroom, while an internal hallway leads to a potential study area.

The ground floor also includes a practical separate utility room, two guest cloakrooms, and access to an integrated double garage that provides generous storage and secure parking.

The home boasts six well-sized bedrooms, spread across the ground and first floors. The principal bedroom is particularly spacious, with a bay window overlooking the rear garden, a separate dressing room, a walk-in closet, and a large en suite bathroom. Each of the other bedrooms is serviced by well-appointed family bathrooms.

The outdoor spaces of the property are truly exceptional. A large terrace overlooks a landscaped pond surrounded by hedges and shrubs, creating a serene focal point. Beyond the hedge, there's an additional circular garden area, planted with four mature specimen trees. The remainder of the garden is laid to lawn, with mature trees and shrubs framing the borders.

At the front of the property, a sweeping driveway leads to a spacious parking area, which continues along the side of the house, offering further parking and access to the double garage.
