    About this property

    • 54 Madeira Park is one of the earlier, more substantial, detached houses in this very popular road. Having benefitted from up-dating over time in a sympathetic style, the property now provides excellent family accommodation, including two fine traditional reception rooms and a well-appointed study, all featuring period fireplaces, high ceilings, and decorative mouldings. In addition, there is the all-important, spacious, modern open-plan kitchen/breakfast/family room, with timber flooring and a wood burning stove, incorporating a large orangery extension, which adds extra light and opens out to the garden. This is well planned, with paved terracing, a lawned area and rose borders with tall laurel hedging along the boundaries. The kitchen is modern and minimalist in style with Corian worktops, AEG ovens, an integrated Bosch dishwasher and a Smeg five burner gas hob.

      Upstairs there are six bedrooms arranged over two floors, together with three modern bath/shower rooms, with one being en suite to one of the first floor bedrooms.

    I lived opposite this house for about two years when I first got married and I have nothing but fond memories of spending time here. It's a really great location, surely one of the best. The houses all speak for themselves and this one is no exception.

    Local information

    • Madeira Park is a pleasant walk from the Pantiles, High Street, Tennis Club and Cricket Club, as well as the mainline railway station, using the Cumberland Walk and Upper Cumberland Walk pedestrian walkways. All these attractions are within approximately a half a mile and the station provides a regular commuter service to London Charing Cross and Cannon Street (via London Bridge & Waterloo East).
    • The town's Common is also within a similar distance, providing an almost ‘countrylike' atmosphere within the town, extending to about 75 acres, ideal for dog walking and with the famous Wellington Rocks, where generations of children have played over the years.
    • The southern end of the town, in particular, offers a variety of specialist shops, cafés, bars and restaurants and the town is generally well served by supermarkets and national retailers, as well and has two theatres, with one of them also serving as an arts cinema. The multi-plex Odeon cinema is out of town at Knights Park, where there is also further retail shopping. For sporting amenities, there are a number of private health clubs in the town and golf at The Nevill members' club, along with country pursuits around the Ashdown Forest to the west and Bewl Water reservoir to the south east.
    • State and private schools: Well-regarded schools in the area include Claremont Primary School, The Mead, Rose Hill and Holmewood House preparatory schools, Bennett Memorial and St Gregory's secondaries and the boys' and girls' grammars in Tunbridge Wells and Tonbridge. There are Independent senior schools in Tonbridge, Sevenoaks, Mayfield, Upper Dicker (Bedes), Brighton and Eastbourne.
    • Communications: The recently upgraded A21 from Tunbridge Wells links to the M25 at Junction 5 to the north,
    • London, the south coast, the national motorway network, Gatwick and Heathrow airports and the Channel Tunnel terminus.
