Mayfield Road, Tunbridge Wells, Kent, TN4

A very rare opportunity to build a new family house in a very desirable, tucked-away, town location, about one mile from the mainline railway station.

Description

Our selling clients have this year obtained planning permission for a single building plot within their large garden, which is tucked-away off Mayfield Road, a no-through road off Boyne Park.

The planning permission is for a single detached dwelling over two and a half stories, with accommodation of approximately 2631 sq ft and a total plot of approximately 0.26 acres, providing for a mature front and rear lawn garden. The approach is via the existing driveway serving Westover, which will become a shared drive for the two homes. The existing garage for Westover will be included in this plot sale and the planning permission confirms the creation of an adjacent parking space to the side. The location is a conservation area and the style of the new build looks to the substantial Edwardian houses forming the original Boyne Park Estate.

Our clients are now selling the plot as a development opportunity, considered to be ideal for an 'end-user’, looking for their own unique home, both quietly and conveniently located within the town.

Location

Westover enjoys a tucked away position, within the Tunbridge Wells Conservation Area, lying between Boyne Park, Summerfield Road, Mayfield Road and Molyneaux Park Road on the north-westerly side of the town.

This one-off home is secluded and ideally placed with the town centre, Pantiles and the mainline station with regular commuter services to London all within about a mile, making it an ideal base for family life.

The town’s extensive amenities include the Royal Victoria Place shopping centre with Fenwicks Department Store and other major stores, two theatres, many pubs, cafes and restaurants, the High Street, well known for its specialist shops and Hoopers Department Store, the historic Pantiles area with summer Jazz evenings and an out-of-town retail park.

In addition, the area is well placed for several well regarded schools including Bishops Down primary school and the Wells Free school at Royal Wells Park, reached within about 0.9 miles and 0.6 miles respectively.

At secondary level there are the Boys’ and Girls’ Grammar Schools and Skinners in the St John’s area, as well as Bennett Memorial (about 1.1 miles), St Gregory’s RC about 1.6 miles) and independent preparatories including Rose Hill, The Mead and Holmewood House in Langton Green. Independent senior schools include Mayfield, Sevenoaks, Tonbridge, Eastbourne and Bedes in Upper Dicker.

Finally, there is great dog walking available, with the extensive open spaces and woods of the Tunbridge Wells Common, which is en route to the town centre and delightful villages and countryside which lie in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty which surrounds the town in all directions.

Communications: The A21, accessible just north of Tunbridge Wells, links directly to the M25 (junction 5) and thereby to London and the national motorway network. Gatwick Airport is about 22 miles to the West via the A264.
