An impressive 7 bedroom detached period village house, with beautifully presented accommodation, set in wonderful gardens and grounds of approximately 1.2 acres, situated off a lane on the outskirts of Wadhurst within walking distance of the village High Street.

Situation: Primmers is situated in a commanding elevated position, off a lane, on the outskirts of Wadhurst, in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is within walking distance of the village High Street. Wadhurst was named the best place to live in the UK in 2023 by The Times and The Sunday Times and offers an excellent range of shops and services for everyday needs including a Jempson’s Local store and post office, cafés, delicatessen, greengrocer, butcher, pharmacy, bookshop, florist, off licence, public houses, as well as a doctor’s surgery and dentist.

There is an excellent choice of schools in the area, in both the state and private sectors, including Wadhurst Primary, Sacred Heart School and the well-regarded Uplands Community College and Sports Centre in the village. Other schools in the area include primary schools in Ticehurst, Lamberhurst and Frant and Skippers Hill, The Mead, Rose Hill, Holmewood House, Marlborough House and St Ronan’s prep schools with senior schools including Tonbridge, Mayfield, Claremont and Bede’s.

For the commuter, Wadhurst mainline station is 1¼ miles distant and provides a regular service to London Charing Cross/Cannon Street in an hour. The A21 is also within easy reach providing a direct link to the M25 (junction 5) and the coast. Gatwick Airport is about 40 miles to the west, the Eurotunnel terminal at Folkestone is about 45 miles to the east and central London is about 50 miles away.

The regional centre of Tunbridge Wells is 6 miles distant and provides a comprehensive range of amenities including the Pantiles, cinema complex and theatres.

Bewl Water Reservoir, reputedly the largest area of inland water in the South East, is close by and offers a range of leisure activities and water sports including an Aqua Park, walking and cycling trails, sailing, paddleboarding, rowing and fishing.

Description: Primmers is a substantial Georgian village house dating back to the late 18th century, with significant later additions during the Victorian period and most recently by the current owners, with exterior elevations of brick and tile hanging at first floor level under a pitched tiled roof with some imposing chimneys.

Providing a light, beautifully presented and very comfortable living space, the house benefits from well-proportioned rooms, with high ceilings and some lovely period features including exposed mellow timbers, fireplaces, latch doors and cornicing in some of the rooms.

Having been sympathetically and extensively refurbished by the current owners, including a new roof and first floor tile hanging, upgraded and substantial wall and roof insulation, new double glazed windows, a new pressurised hot and cold water central heating system, and a complete re-wire including Cat 6 wiring and 3 phase electricity, as well as the inclusion of other 21st century technologies, no expense has been spared in creating this wonderful family home, with all fixtures and fittings being of the highest standard.

Arranged over three floors, the house provides in excess of 6,500 square feet of spacious accommodation. Of note on the ground floor, there is a welcoming and spacious reception hall with polished oak flooring and an easy rising oak staircase, elegant reception rooms with polished oak floors, a superb kitchen/breakfast/casual dining room with a large central lantern light and floor to ceiling windows which flood the room with light, furnished with handcrafted cabinets with granite work surfaces, an Aga including a companion, integrated Miele appliances and under floor heating.

On the first floor there is a wide and spacious landing, 5 double bedrooms which includes the Master bedroom suite with a fully fitted dressing room and a spacious and well-appointed en-suite bath/shower room, a shower room and a family bathroom.

On the second floor there are 2 further double bedrooms, a shower room and a dressing/store room.

Throughout the house there is plenty of spacious storage, from the two cellars, a dedicated store room on the ground floor and wardrobe cupboards in the bedrooms, to the loft and eaves spaces.

Gardens and grounds: On arriving at Primmers, a pair of hardwood automated gates open up to a sweeping gravel drive which leads to a large parking and turning area and to the oak framed, heritage style garaging, which provides open bay parking for two cars with an electric charging point, a secure workshop/store room and a large log and bin store.

Extending to approximately 1.2 acres, the gardens and grounds surround the property and are a wonderful feature and backdrop to the house.

With extensive Indian sandstone terracing adjoining the house and expansive areas of lawn bordered by well stocked, colourful herbaceous borders, and a rose garden, the gardens provide a lovely setting for entertaining and with the majority of the gardens being flat, they are ideal for croquet, badminton and for enjoying many other outdoor pursuits.

There is also an area of light woodland with mature trees and rhododendrons and there is fencing, hedging and a feature brick wall enclosing the gardens and grounds on all sides.

Services: Mains water and electricity. Klargester, shared private drainage treatment plant. Gas central heating.

Places of interest

    Aren't all estate agents the same? We don't think so. Since February 2005 when we first opened our doors, we have built an unrivalled reputation for our service-led approach to successfully selling town and country property. We pride ourselves on the level of service we offer. Key to this is the fact we only ever market up to twenty properties at one time enabling us to provide the highest level of service at all times. Our professionalism, sound advice and level of expertise is second to none, with each aspect of the selling and buying process being handled by one of our directors.  With clear and relevant communication being key to a successful move, we like to be involved at each stage from the very first point of contact through to the completion of a sale.   Our personal tailor-made approach to selling town and country property has seen continued success in Tunbridge Wells and this has also led to an increasing demand for our services outside town. Due to this we are pleased to have opened our second branch in Wadhurst in February 2015.  We continue to provide the level of service both sellers and buyers have come to expect from us and testament to this is the number of recommendations we consistently receive from our clients. So get in touch and see how we can help with your move. Our approach is different, it’s working and it will work for you.
