Property description & features

  • Tenure: Freehold

  • Arts & Crafts style detached property
  • Over 6,000 sq ft
  • 7 Bedrooms
  • 5 Reception Rooms
  • Underground Parking
  • Lovely Established Gardens
  • Superb location
Designed by award winning architect, Simon Beck, this fine 7 bedroom Arts and Craft style detached house extends to over 6,000 sq ft and was inspired by the work of George Devey, an Arts and Crafts architect famous for the Leicester Square development at nearby Penshurst.

Set in magnificent established gardens with underground parking the property enjoys a private position. The property is approached off Holden Road via automatic gates to a private driveway. At the entrance is a small wildlife sanctuary with groups of protected trees, shrubs and a natural pond.

A magnificent oak front double door leads into the entrance hall and then into the main hall with doors leading to a series of beautiful, well proportioned reception rooms. The drawing room with elegant cornicing opens onto the large terrace to the rear and the dining room is a grand double height space with large bay windows letting the light flood into the room. The study / library is a generously proportioned room with a bay window over looking the front gardens. Each of these rooms features a large stone or wooden fireplace.

The kitchen and breakfast rooms are linked to form a wonderful space which opens via double doors to the rear garden and links down to the utility room in the basement. The basement also provides underground parking for two cars, a separate W.C and a games room / cinema.

The oak staircase sits in an atrium and ascends to the first floor where there are five bedrooms all with ensuites. The master suite also benefits from a separate dressing room. The second bedroom has built in wardrobes and overlooks the front garden and could be incorporated into the master suite if required.

The galleried landing looks up over the Common and internally down to the dining room, three further generous bedrooms complete the accommodation on this floor.

A secondary staircase leads up to the second floor where there are two large rooms and adjacent areas for either storage or potentially a bathroom. Alternatively the space could be used for additional living / play areas.

The established grounds extend to about 0.8 of an acre including a large lawned garden to the rear, with mature trees adding to the privacy of the property and large stone terrace ideal for outside entertaining which leads onto a gravel pathway with pergola over.

Grove House is located adjacent to Southborough Common and away from the A26 London Road on the northern outskirts of the Spa town of Tunbridge Wells and within about 2.7 miles of the High Street. Tonbridge is fractionally further in distance to the north and offers excellent train services into London from two lines (London Bridge, Charing Cross, Cannon Street, Waterloo East and Victoria). The A26 gives access to the M25 at Junction 5 within about 2.5 miles.

There are excellent state and private schools in the area, including a number of preparatory and primary schools, the Tunbridge Wells and Tonbridge Girls and Boys Grammar schools, including Skinners and Judd and public schools at senior level in Tonbridge and Sevenoaks. Tunbridge Wells is the key shopping town for the area with a wide selection of shops including antiques, specialist delicatessens and independent fashion retailers. There are numerous cafes and restaurants and many places of historical interest including the Pantiles.

The local surrounding countryside offers numerous interesting pubs and walks and the property is close to the three Commons of Tunbridge Wells, Rusthall and Southborough.

There are golf courses at the Nevill in Tunbridge Wells and at Hever and cricket and tennis at the Nevill grounds in Tunbridge Wells.

Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on January 5, 2022

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
