House For Sale £3,250,000
The overriding intention for the design was to create an authentically detailed Regency style house that can, at the same time, be very
environmentally conscious. Research was carried out into local architectural styles and detailing, with specific reference made to the local Regency style buildings in Tunbridge Wells. The resulting design is a mix of features from those period properties, combined with others, which are found already within the Nevill Park area.
The material palette externally is intentionally simple, and relevant to the aesthetic design. A high-quality natural roofing slate has been used to the front and side roof slopes. On the southern slopes of the garage/annexe a Photovoltaic roof slate has been used, that appears authentic but generates electricity for the house. The main house has 16 x Solar PV panels that are invisible from the ground due to the design of the roof profile and the need to conceal them in a Conservation Area.
The elevations have a series of projecting bays to add interest internally and externally and are finished in a light grey render with ornate dado banding to the perimeter. At the front there is a classical portico, with columns and a detailed Regency style front door with glazed surround.
In all, the design is attractive, elegant, and authentically detailed, as shown in the images attached. The accommodation extends to over 3,500 sq ft arranged over two floors, the space is well balanced between formal and informal living, and the high-quality finish is evident throughout.
The principal reception rooms are accessed off the impressive reception hall and comprise a dining room, sitting room, and kitchen/breakfast and family room. Also on the ground floor is the utility room.
The design intention was for Little Edgecumbe to be constructed in a way that considers how the materials and processes used in the fabrication of the house can be selected to avoid unnecessary CO2 creation, and to allow for a healthy house in the long term, for the occupants. Consideration was also given to the technology implemented within the building, specifically how it will be heated, ventilated, and powered.
Within the grounds of Little Edgcumbe is a one bedroom annexe complete with kitchen/living room and bathroom. The annexe would lend itself well to staying guests or staff.
The private garden is an important feature of Little Edgcumbe, extending to the width of the property. The flat garden has so much usable lawn area and connects to the house very well. The garden provides an excellent setting for al fresco dining and backdrop to the house. The vendor has paid great attention to detail planting multiple mature specimen trees and flower beds. Approached from a impressive entrance gates Little Edgcumbe has ample parking for a number of cars, as well as having a double garage building.
