Rusthall Place, Langton Road, Tunbridge Wells, Kent, TN4

Built by an Earl, home to a Mayor and over 150
years of history. Originally known as Stoneleigh,
this magnificent country residence was built in 1873 by the Earl of Abergavenny, when wealthy visitors flocked to Tunbridge Wells to ‘take the waters’ at The Pantiles. Its first resident was the town’s first Mayor, and the house played its part in history when it was requisitioned during the Second World War.
