Hartley Road, Cranbrook, TN17

An attractive Edwardian country house of considerable character, offering approximately 5,100 sq ft of accommodation, together with a detached coach house and established gardens, within walking distance of the historic market town of Cranbrook.

The house retains much of the architectural character associated with the Edwardian period, with generous ceiling heights, well-proportioned rooms, period fireplaces and large windows providing an abundance of natural light. The accommodation is arranged over several floors and offers considerable flexibility for both family living and entertaining.

An entrance hall provides access to three principal reception rooms, each with its own character, together with a conservatory overlooking the gardens. The kitchen/breakfast room forms an important part of the house, complemented by a separate larder and a practical utility/boot room.

The bedroom accommodation is equally generous, comprising eight double bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with en suite facilities. Four further bedrooms benefit from en suite facilities, while a family bath/shower room serves the remaining accommodation.

Outside, the house is surrounded by attractive, established gardens and grounds, providing a mature setting and a pleasing degree of privacy. A detached coach house/garage offers additional space and potential for conversion to ancillary accommodation, subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents. A glasshouse and garden store provide further useful outbuildings.

The property occupies a convenient position within walking distance of Cranbrook, one of the most appealing historic towns in the Weald. Known for its distinctive architecture, independent shops, cafés, restaurants and traditional High Street, Cranbrook offers an excellent range of everyday amenities while retaining the character of a small Kentish market town.

The town is particularly well regarded for its educational facilities, with the property situated within the Cranbrook School catchment area. Other notable independent schools in the surrounding area include Benenden School, Bethany School, St Ronan's and Dulwich Prep Cranbrook.

For commuters, Staplehurst mainline station provides regular rail services towards London, while the nearby A21 offers connections to Tunbridge Wells, the M25 and the wider motorway network.
