House For Sale £3,250,000
An exceptional contemporary residence with a fine south westerly outlook, set in this convenient country location to the south of Tunbridge Wells.
Location
Monks Grange is situated in a delightful semi-rural location to the North of Wadhurst (under 2.4 miles) and about six miles of Tunbridge Wells. Wadhurst has excellent amenities including supermarkets, post office, butcher, hardware shop, delicatessen and garage. Tunbridge Wells comprehensive amenities, theatres and restaurants.
State and private schools: Ticehurst and Wadhurst Primary Schools, Uplands Community College (Wadhurst). Preparatory schools include Sacred Heart (Wadhurst), Marlborough House and St Ronan’s (Hawkhurst), Rose Hill (Tunbridge Wells), Holmewood House (Langton Green), and The Schools at Somerhill (Tonbridge). Independent senior schools in Tunbridge Wells, Sevenoaks, Tonbridge, Eastbourne, Bedes in Upper Dicker and Benenden Girls School (Benenden).
Mainline rail services: Wadhurst station (about 2.4 miles) provides a regular commuter service taking about an hour to London (Waterloo East/Cannon Street/Charing Cross) on the Hastings line. Frant Station (at 3.2 miles|) is preferred by the vendor as it is one stop closer to London and has convenient parking facilities.
Road connections: The A21 is accessible at Lamberhurst (about 3.8 miles to the north) and has recently benefitted from a major upgrade which has significantly improved access north to Tonbridge (about 11 miles) and Sevenoaks (about 18 miles) and thereby the M25 London orbital for Gatwick Airport (via M23). The Channel Tunnel lies about 40 miles to the east via Tenterden.
Description
Built about three years ago and being sold with the balance of its 10 year buildings warranty, this exceptional and individual family home represents an impressive modern interpretation of the favoured Georgian period style. Traditional methods of building, and correspondingly authentic materials, have been employed in the construction of Monks Grange. Block walls made from quarried Cotswold Natural Stone give the house its distinctive period feel, and architectural masonry provides the details found in the cills, headers and quoins. The house is capped by a stone tiled roof, and internal finishings include bespoke double glazed timber windows and doors, marble and oak floors and intricate decorative plasterwork.
Modern comforts built in to the very fabric of the building include under floor heating throughout, sustainably powered by air-sourced heat pump technology, ‘cat 6’ cabling (full fibre broadband to the premises, FTTP, and an mvhr air quality system (Mechanical Ventilation and Heat Recovery). Amongst the many benefits of an mvhr system it is designed to comfortably condition and circulate the air, even in a sealed house, and also to benefit allergy and asthma sufferers.
Another feature that sets this notable home apart is the highly-specified spa, integrated perfectly into the living accommodation on the ground floor and including the indoor Magma swimming pool with a jet-stream current facility. ‘Magma’ refers to its use of magnesium minerals and is a specialised system to promote wellbeing for the skin and body. Also included in the spa area is a state-of-the-art infrared sauna.
The ‘Mark Wilkinson’ kitchen/breakfast room, with Gaggenau and Miele appliances, is also worthy of special mention. A little over thirty feet in length, it opens out onto the rear sandstone terrace and faces down the garden to the views beyond. Completing the ground floor, the drawing room has fine period detailing, as does the sitting room which is designed to be fitted out as a home cinema using a Dolby Atmos system.
With five main bedrooms, and a possible sixth bedroom or study, the master bedroom suite is a real ‘5 star treat’, with a balcony offering fine views, a spacious dressing room and a stunning bathroom with glorious dual-aspect windows.
Outside
Access from the road is via a pillared gateway with pair of wrought iron electric gates. The drive leads directly to the double garage with forecourt parking and a decorative path sweeps across the front of the house to the main entrance. There are attractive and mature gardens to the front and rear with a good deal of privacy. The rear garden is open to wonderful countryside views, enjoyed from the expansive terracing and a covered eating area set to one side of the house.
Services
The property is connected to mains water and electricity, with heating powered by air-sourced heat pump. A modern private sewage plant is installed.
