An exceptional detached family house in this sought after location on the south side of town.
14 Claremont Gardens occupies a highly convenient position on Claremont Road, located on the south side of Tunbridge Wells, specifically within the 'village area' of the town. This striking, detached family home comprises over 4,800 sq ft of accommodation, designed and crafted to the highest calibre. The internal accommodation is harmoniously complemented by the large and secluded rear garden, with the total double plot amounting to approximately 0.44 acres. The garden features a large and versatile patio terrace with an integrated outdoor kitchen and lounge seating, ideal for summer entertaining on a large scale. The patio terrace is paired with a well-screened, lawned garden, which is bordered by lush shrubbery for added seclusion, having been landscaped by Sue Blakeley. To the front of the house, a large driveway provides off-street parking for up to five cars, given its corner-plot position, with residential permits available offering additional nearby parking if needed.
The ground floor encompasses an entrance hall, family room, laundry and utility room as well as the vast open-plan kitchen/dining/sitting room, encouraging hosting on a large scale. The focal point of the house is the open-plan space, with sliding doors providing access to the balcony, overlooking the garden and access to the lower ground floor. The kitchen's sleek cabinetry, integrated appliances and large, central island are complemented by the abundance of light, with thanks to the south-facing aspect. The nature of the layout allows for a flexible configuration.
The lower ground floor, which can be accessed from the garden or the ground floor, offers a bar/lounge overlooking the garden, and gym with skylight to the front of the floor, and shower room. There is just under 900 sq ft of undercroft storage.
The bedrooms upstairs are sleek in design, well balanced and spread across two upper floors, with the principal suite overlooking the garden and configured to include a generous dressing room with fitted wardrobes, leading to the en suite bath/shower room. The upper floors encompass a further five bedrooms which are served by three bath/shower rooms. The bedrooms and bathrooms are contemporary in design, reflecting the intensive redesign and modernisation of the house which our clients have undertaken in recent years.

For me, this house is made special by the exceptional size of the plot, especially given its central town location.
