5 bed detached house for sale

Station Road, Stonegate TN5

Occupying an enviable convenient position with farmland to both front and rear, this individual detached house was built in 2000 by Silver Homes - renowned local builders of luxury homes - and provides superbly arranged accommodation across two excellent floors. Available to buy for the first time since new, the house is presented very well throughout and, quite unusually for a relatively modern property, contains many period features including tall corniced ceilings, high skirting boards and sash windows.

The reception hall provides a fabulous first impression with a wide central staircase and doors leading to all the principal rooms including the double aspect drawing room with open fireplace and the well proportioned dining room with doors opening directly to the gardens.

A separate sitting room and good size study are positioned at the front of the house and provide a great deal of flexibility in terms of layout. The double aspect kitchen/ breakfast room which is part open to the family area is an excellent light-filled space. The kitchen is very well fitted with floor and mounted units including a central island under granite worksurfaces and there is a good-size adjacent utility/laundry room with a door to outside.

On the first floor an impressive galleried landing with windows looking out across fields to the front gives access to all bedrooms with the principal suite, which enjoys lovely outlooks across the gardens, having the benefit of a private bathroom. The guest bedroom also has an en suite whilst the remaining three bedrooms are very well served by the family bathroom.

Outside

The gardens and grounds are an absolute delight and are made up of several components. Timber five-bar gates open to a spacious driveway which provides parking for a number of vehicles and leads to the double garage.

To the rear, the gardens have been professionally landscaped and are delightful with a wide terrace with stone balustrade adjoining the house providing some lovely areas in which to sit, dine and entertain. The well tended lawn is interspersed with a wide range of established plants, shrubs and trees and there is an area of productive kitchen garden with greenhouse. A pathway meanders around the entire garden and nestled in one corner, with a striking semi circular water feature fed by a gentle waterfall, is a Japanese inspired summer house. All in all, with glimpses of the farmer’s fields through the trees to the rear, the gardens are delightful and a wonderful place in which to spend time.

Situation

In an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the property is located within the High Weald National Landscape just a short walk from Stonegate station which has a regular service to London Bridge with a journey time of approximately 60 minutes. The popular, small and vibrant town of Wadhurst (3.5 miles) has an excellent range of shops, whilst Tunbridge Wells (about 10 miles) offers many varieties of stores and specialist shops, bars, cafes and restaurants, theatres and sports facilities. There is an excellent choice of good schools in the area at primary and secondary levels, in both the state and private sectors including primary schools in Stonegate, Lamberhurst and Wadhurst, Sacred Heart at Wadhurst, Holmewood House, Vinehall and St Ronan’s prep schools with senior schools including Uplands Academy in Wadhurst, Mayfield and Bede’s in Lower Dicker.
