What the Owner says:

We moved here about 10 years ago because we fell in love with the wonderful location and the character of the property. It is very quiet, peaceful and private with fabulous views. During our time here we have extended the property and completely refurbished and updated the house to provide everything needed for contemporary living. We also created the annex and built the swimming pool as well as planting the vineyard and developed a highly successful winery.
Although we live in a country paradise, we are not far from the delightful Eridge village with a mainline station where the direct train to London Bridge takes just under an hour or you can drive to Tunbridge Wells for faster trains to London. There is also a gothic style church, a village hall with a variety of activities as well as two good pub/restaurants. The village grew up around the Grade II Listed Eridge Park and mansion, which has been the seat of the Earl and Marquess of Abergevenny since 1448. We are also only 2.5 miles from the famous Pantiles in Tunbridge Wells as well as the town centre and the station where trains to London Bridge only take 44 minutes.

Agent's note: The vineyard and additional acreage is available by separate negotiation.
