House For Sale £1,300,000
Detached family house in a wonderful tucked away position on an exceptional plot, just outside town.
Location
Located towards the end of Benhall Mill Road on high ground, Mill Cottage is very conveniently positioned just outside the Spa town of Tunbridge Wells on the East Sussex side, yet has a definite semi-rural feel.
The lane meets the Hawkenbury Road at the top of the hill and also gives easy access out to the A21 at Kippings Cross to the east and to Bells Yew Green village which is about 1.1 miles to the west. Here, there is the advantage of Frant mainline station, with regular train services to London, being just one stop down the line from Tunbridge Wells. The hamlet also has a public house, a village store/post office and a cricket club.
Tunbridge Wells station is reached within about 2.7 miles and this well known, character town has extensive shopping and entertainment amenities.
The nearby villages at Frant, about 2.5 miles and Lamberhurst, about 5.3 miles, both have primary schools, whilst St Peter’s primary school in Tunbridge Wells is at Hawkenbury, within about 1.4 miles.
There are grammar schools (entry by academic achievement in the 11-plus examination) and other secondary schools in Tunbridge Wells, Tonbridge and Uplands Community College in Wadhurst, reached within about 8.8 miles.
Alternatively, the area is well served by private schooling for all ages, including preparatory schools in Tunbridge Wells and secondary schools for boys at Tonbridge, girls at Mayfield and co-ed options at Sevenoaks, Bedes in Upper Dicker and Eastbourne.
Description
Tucked away in a quiet country lane just outside of the town, and within about 0.8 miles of the Nevill Golf Club, this detached chalet-style house is set well away from neighbours on an exceptional plot within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
The property is set well back from the lane behind a gated entrance, with mature gardens and grounds comprising mainly lawn and meadow, a large pond and areas of woodland.
There are exceptional westerly views from the property across the surrounding countryside, creating a delightful position and with site potential for an exceptional, new replacement dwelling, subject to planning permission being granted.
The house itself is presented in good condition, but there are some areas which would benefit from improvement.
The property might lend itself to being re-designed or extended and upgraded as an alternative way forward to take full advantage of the setting, and again subject to planning permission.
