Marine House is 'one of three especially nice houses circa 1830 in this location' according to Nicholas Pevsner in his Architectural Guide. The original listing refers to the house as Harecroft School 'a curious house of about 1840-1850, probably also designed by Amon Henry Wilds'. The double-fronted property offers a wealth of character and period features including working shutters, fireplaces, exposed original timber floors, panelled doors, brass door furniture and a fine original staircase with painted balusters and polished mahogany rail. These features blend seamlessly with modern-day touches such as five-amp lighting in the drawing room and recessed ceiling down-lighters in key areas. The classical main facade is thought to have been finished with pebbles from Brighton Beach and features a magnificent main entrance. The house is partially attached to its neighbour along one side, up to first floor level.

On the ground floor, there is a formal drawing room and dining room, both beautifully presented and with wonderful outlooks over the town.

The lower ground floor offers a beautifully appointed kitchen/breakfast room with bespoke cabinetry and marble worktops, leading into a generous utility room. Also on this level is a snug, currently used as an informal dining space, with a small wood-burning stove.

The principal bedroom is located on the first floor with a very well-appointed en suite complete with free-standing bath and shower. Arranged over the first and second floors, there are 7 further bedrooms and 2 family bathrooms - one of which includes a sauna.

Outside, there is a secluded private garden including space for seating and an area of level lawn. There are two private parking spaces accessed from the rear courtyard and a garage held on a separate lease which can be purchased by separate negotiation.


Marine House occupies an excellent location on the southern side of the town, within 0.1 of a mile from the historic High Street and famous Pantiles with an array of shops, boutiques, brasseries and restaurants.

For those wishing to commute to London by train, the property is just 0.3 of a mile from the main line station. For motorists there is easy access to a number of major road routes, including the A21, which links with the M25 motorway network, and the international airports of Gatwick and Heathrow.

Tunbridge Wells and the surrounding area is renowned for the quality of its schooling, both in the private and state sectors, including nearby Holmewood House, The Mead and Rosehill Preparatory Schools with options for older children including Mayfield, Tonbridge and Sevenoaks.

Sporting and recreational interests in the area are well served with a number of renowned golf courses, cricket and tennis clubs - including facilities at The Nevill, off nearby Warwick Park.

Tunbridge Wells Station 0.3 of a mile (London Bridge from 42 minutes), High Street 0.1 of a mile, Pantiles 0.1 of a mile, A21 (Pembury) 2.5 miles, M25 (J5) 14 miles. (All times and distances are approximate)

    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

    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
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
