Farnham Lane, Langton Green, TN3

Surrounded by glorious Kentish countryside and enjoying marvellous views over its own grounds and beyond, an exceptional contemporary home, that has been designed to include many modernist architectural principles incorporating clean lines and sweeping curves. Employing energy saving techniques the property was conceived and constructed in 2011, however during their tenure, the present owners have carried out a programme of upgrading and restyling, injecting sophisticated styling techniques as well as upgrading some of the infrastructure. Complimenting existing features such as solar panels, air source heat pumps, air conditioning, programmable lighting, underfloor heating throughout and triple glazed windows, recently an extraordinarily chic principal bedroom suite has been created which includes a stunning dressing room bespoke designed and fitted by Kreider, two private balconies and a sumptuous en suite bath/shower room where there is a Japanese lavatory by Toto and taps by Inbani. The kitchen/breakfast area has also been refitted, again with sophistication in mind and now includes elegant, black fronted cabinetry with Laminam Anthracite work surfaces, Smeg and Samsung integrated appliances and a Blanco filtered chilled/hot/sparkling water tap. Extending to in excess of 7,400 square feet (excluding garaging and the home office), the spectacular accommodation is arranged over three floors with curved, floor to ceiling glazing on the ground level and double height ceilings allowing for natural light to flood the property and for taking in the views. The living areas flow easily from one space to the next and yet are clearly defined, enjoying sliding doors out to the balcony. There are polished wooden floors throughout the ground floor and a majestic, sweeping staircase rising to the galleried landing. For convenience, a lift has been installed with access to all three levels. The swimming pool is wonderful and has mood lighting and a Sonos sound system, whilst the cinema on the lower ground floor also has mood lighting and a Dolby sound system and could easily be used as an additional bedroom if required as there is a shower room alongside. Laid off from the first-floor landing, as well as the main suite, there are four bedrooms, that include a newly refurbished guest suite and a large, flexible room that is currently used as a gym but is easily arranged to form another bedroom or indeed a games room. This can also be accessed via a secondary staircase, allowing use also as an office.

Outside

The house is approached via a pair of electric gates opening on to a sweeping drive, which passes the pond and continues to a wide parking and turning area in front of the garaging and on to the secondary drive. A great deal of time, expense and thought has gone in to reimagining the outside space as planting schemes have been reworked creating a green, white and purple flow featuring agapanthus, allium and nepeta woodland as well as giant Annabelle hydrangeas with thousands of spring flowering bulbs planted throughout the woodland. A large paddock is well tended but is left mostly as a natural landscape, whilst a detached, home office sits beside the terracing that forms an ideal area for outdoor entertaining and cooking as it can be accessed from the open plan living area and indoor pool by way of wall to wall bi-folding doors and has a large pergola for summer shade.

Situation

Set in a semi-rural location at the edge of the sought-after village of Langton Green, the house occupies a commanding position on raised ground, thereby enjoying lovely local views. The village itself is popular and has local shops, church, pub, cricket/recreation ground, a primary school and the well-known Holmewood House Preparatory school for girls and boys. Tunbridge Wells is about 3 miles away where there are excellent shopping facilities including many national stores, individual shops and boutiques, two theatres, an arts centre, sports and leisure centre, two golf courses and numerous restaurants, bars and cafes. Schooling in the area is nationally renowned including separate grammar schools for girls and boys, sought-after primary schools, independent schools and further afield but easily reached by road or rail, Tonbridge and Sevenoaks public schools.
Train services from Tunbridge Wells to Charing Cross, London Bridge and Cannon Street in about 50/55 minutes, whilst the A21 is to the north of Tunbridge Wells provides a direct route to the M25 and the national motorway network.
