Description

Buckler’s Hard was designed in 1972 for the former Mayor of Tunbridge Wells. This strikingly different, light-filled property embraces a contemporary Scandinavian influence, blending modern elegance with a warm, inviting atmosphere. Predominantly arranged for single-storey living, with the potential for developing the vast undercroft area (subject to necessary consents), its design offers a balanced layout of privacy and social areas.

The expansive sitting room featuring a vaulted wooden ceiling is a highlight and offers a wonderful, tranquil setting, ideal for relaxing or entertaining guests. The well-appointed kitchen, with adjacent utility room, offers ample storage space, with walnut wood worktops and quality integrated appliances which include an oven, hob, dishwasher, brand new Bosch fridge / freezer and wine chiller. A breakfast bar overlooks the inner hallway and the garden beyond. The kitchen links to the dining room, another light-filled space, with a small study set to one side.

With three bedrooms and a tranquil garden room the property provides flexible accommodation, allowing the space to adapt to your needs – whether as additional living areas or home offices. Two beautifully appointed bathrooms complement the home's functional layout. Recent upgrades include the installation of new radiators and a new boiler, enhancing the home's energy efficiency and comfort throughout the year.

To the front, the gated driveway has ample space for several vehicles, with a ramp down to the carport and a large double garage with electric door. Three adjacent storerooms create a fabulous storage space, possibly for a home gym, and with the potential to be incorporated into the main living areas, subject to necessary consents.

A charming summerhouse, with power, overlooks the mature, tree-flanked garden which can be used as a home office, while a further external outbuilding and a shed provide extra practicality. The house has a fabulous setting in a generous plot approaching 0.4 of an acre, whilst being just a short walk from the town centre amenities, which include the mainline station and the town’s plentiful parks, shops and restaurants. It sits in the catchment area for St James Primary School (2026/7 intake).

About Maddisons Residential Ltd, Tunbridge Wells

Industry affiliations:Industry affiliation logo 0Industry affiliation logo 1

When Deborah Richards founded Maddisons Residential in 2013 she wanted to build an estate agency based on truly exceptional service, proactive and honest advice and an utter passion to sell a client's property for the best price, to the best buyer, in line with their timescales. She combined her many years of working in wealth management with renovating and selling numerous properties, to deliver the ultimate estate agency experience. Now, with an established team and a dominance in family properties in all core Tunbridge Wells' postcodes, this aspiration has become a reality. Maddisons Residential receive over 90% of their business from client referrals, have been voted to be an "Exceptional Agent" in 2025 in the Best Estate Agency Guide, have countless 5 star ratings on Google and consistently exceed industry averages in terms of % of asking price achieved and time to secure a sale. They also have a fierce reputation for holding a deal together once an offer is received, with an envied fall through rate of just 7%. In 2017, Maddisons branched into lettings, where this overriding objective to deliver truly exceptional service continued. Many landlords cite that Maddisons are their "trusted advisor" on their investment property portfolio. Maddisons' strapline that excellence is not a skillset, it's an attitude, are words that they live and breathe by, and they cannot wait to show you how.
