Positioned behind lush foliage and elegant wrought iron gates, this distinguished Victorian residence, built circa 1868, stands proudly within extensive private grounds (c.9.35 acres) encompassing formal gardens, paddock land, and woodland. A sweeping gravel driveway leads to a generous forecourt with ample parking, garaging, a car port, barn, and log store.
Inside, the house blends period character with refined family living. A wide, grand entrance hall with timber flooring and an elegant staircase forms the central axis of the ground floor.
To the east lies a magnificent dual aspect drawing room with high ceilings, a deep bay window, an ornate fireplace, and period style radiators. A peaceful study with direct garden access sits beyond, alongside a versatile snug or playroom which links back to the hallway. At the southern end, a spectacular triple aspect dining hall is bathed in natural light and opens directly onto the south facing terrace and garden ideal for entertaining or relaxed family gatherings.
The western wing houses practical amenities including a guest cloakroom, a boot/utility room with access to the cellar, and a creatively designed split level kitchen and dining space. Featuring granite worktops, integrated appliances, wooden flooring, and a partially glazed roof, the kitchen forms the sociable heart of the home, offering space for informal meals and lively hosting.
Upstairs, the first floor is arranged around a broad landing with under stairs storage. The principal bedroom enjoys dual aspects, a stylish en suite with a freestanding roll top bath and separate shower, and a connecting room currently used as a dressing room but equally suited to use as a nursery or sixth bedroom. A beautifully appointed family bathroom with a freestanding slipper tub and traditional fittings sits nearby. Three further generous double bedrooms and a contemporary shower room complete this level.
The top floor offers exceptional flexibility, comprising two further double bedrooms with a shared shower room, as well as two substantial south facing rooms. These impressive spaces could serve as teenage dens, home offices, studios, or even be configured into a self contained apartment for guests, extended family, or live in support.
Outside, the grounds are a true highlight. A wide flagstone terrace with a stone balustrade wraps around the house and leads onto beautifully kept lawns edged with mature trees, rhododendrons, and sculpted hedging. An enchanting tree lined path leads to the heated swimming pool, bordered by box hedging and accompanied by a fantastic pool house. To the western edge, a garden lodge offers an ideal retreat for summer use, remote working, creative studio, or teenage independence.
Beyond the formal garden, the land opens into a paddock with a charming lake and a large hardstanding, formerly tennis courts, now used as a mane ge and housing a discreetly positioned solar panel array. To the east, a beautifully maintained area of woodland offers winding trails, seasonal bluebells, and a gentle, tranquil stream.
This magnificent period home is situated just outside Edenbridge, with fast rail services to London Bridge in approximately 45 minutes. Lingfield also provides direct trains into London Victoria in around 50 minutes, while Sevenoaks, Tonbridge, and Tunbridge Wells offer alternative routes into London Bridge, Charing Cross, and Cannon Street.
The M25 (Junction 6) is just six miles away, providing easy access to Gatwick and Heathrow airports, the Channel ports via the M20, and the wider UK motorway network.
Families are particularly well served by a wide range of highly regarded schools, including Hazelwood in Oxted, Ardingly College, Lingfield College, and the excellent independent and grammar schools of Sevenoaks, Tonbridge, and Tunbridge Wells. Among them are The New Beacon, Sevenoaks Prep, Walthamstow Hall, Sevenoaks School, Tonbridge School, The Judd, Skinners', and both Tunbridge Wells Grammar Schools for boys and girls.
A rare opportunity to acquire a handsome and substantial Victorian home with exceptional living space and grounds, offering peace, privacy, and excellent connectivity in a sough after location.
