Etherington Hill, Tunbridge Wells, TN3

There is an immediate sense of warmth and character as you step inside this beautifully extended home. Thoughtfully enlarged to create generous family accommodation, the property has retained the charm that makes a cottage so appealing whilst providing the space and flexibility modern life demands.

What really sets the house apart, however, is the feeling of light and the connection with the countryside. From the principal living spaces, the garden and several of the bedrooms, there are wonderful views across the surrounding landscape, giving the home an enviable sense of peace and openness.

Set within the sought-after village of Speldhurst, this is a home that offers something increasingly difficult to find; a genuine country setting, whilst remaining remarkably convenient for Tunbridge Wells, Tonbridge and the A21.


The Living Accommodation

The kitchen has a lovely country feel, with its characterful cabinetry, tiled detailing and charming Rayburn taking centre stage. There is plenty of room for appliances, together with a useful utility area tucked alongside. A door leads directly out to the garden, making the kitchen particularly practical for family life and days spent enjoying the outdoors.

From here, the home flows beautifully into the dining room, where a large bay window draws in an abundance of natural light. A feature fireplace adds warmth and character, creating a lovely setting for everything from relaxed family meals to entertaining friends.

The dining room leads naturally through to the impressive extended lounge. This is a wonderfully sociable room, with the property's extension creating generous space for relaxing and entertaining. The bi-fold doors are a particular highlight, opening the room directly onto the terrace and allowing the garden and countryside beyond to become part of the living space.

There is also a useful downstairs WC.

Bedrooms and Bathrooms

Upstairs, the accommodation continues to impress, with four bedrooms providing plenty of flexibility for family life, guests or working from home. The principal bedroom feels particularly generous, with a useful dressing area leading through to the sleeping space. It also benefits from its own en-suite, creating a lovely private retreat.

The second bedroom is a comfortable double with built-in wardrobe space, whilst the third bedroom is another excellent double with dual-aspect windows, built-in wardrobes and wonderful countryside views. There is also access to the loft from here, providing useful additional storage. The fourth bedroom is currently arranged as a home office and is an excellent example of the flexibility this home provides. It could equally work beautifully as a child's bedroom, nursery or guest room.

The family bathroom is finished with elegant floor-to-ceiling tiling and features a bath with shower over, creating a practical yet attractive space for the household.

Garden and External Space

Step outside and the setting really comes into its own.

Immediately outside the lounge is a generous paved terrace, designed as an extension of the living space and perfectly suited to summer entertaining. The bi-fold doors open directly onto this area, whilst an awning provides welcome shade when required. Beyond the terrace is a level area of garden, providing space for outdoor dining, relaxing and family activities. But it is the outlook beyond that is perhaps the garden's greatest feature.

The view stretches beautifully across the surrounding countryside, creating a wonderfully peaceful backdrop and a real sense of being immersed in the landscape. The church tower of Speldhurst can be seen in the distance, with the village centre approximately a ten-minute walk away.

For those who enjoy walking, the surrounding countryside and woodland provide plenty of opportunity to step straight out and enjoy the landscape. The property is approached via a private area providing space for approximately four vehicles.
