What the Owner says:

We bought this house over 20 years ago as the area was so convenient for the town, station and schools yet we could be in the garden and think we were in the country. We have completely refurbished the property and included the annex, but we feel it is time to downsize.

The historic town of Tonbridge features a Norman castle as well as independent shops, hair and beauty salons, bars and restaurants with additional supermarkets and retail outlets on the outskirts of the town. There is a station with trains to London Bridge taking about half an hour or 42 minutes to Charing Cross. There are excellent educational facilities including Outstanding primary and grammar schools as well as independent schools, colleges and a university campus.

A variety of sports facilities are available including the Poult Wood golf club and there are delightful places to go for walks.
