I moved here about 10 years ago because I really like the area and loved the garden where I spend much of my time. However, it is time to let new owners take on the project and create a special home suited to their individual needs.
The location is a short distance to orchards and fields and great for walking the dog. I can also be in Waitrose and Sainsbury’s in five minutes while Hadlow village is also only a few minutes’ drive. It includes a variety of shops, a pub and a church. There is a good primary school in the village while the Hadlow College of Agriculture and Horticulture is well-known and includes the Broadview Gardens complex that has a tearoom and florist and where you can enjoy wandering around 10 acres of grounds.
Tonbridge is a delightful town full of independent shops, hair and beauty salons along with plenty of bars and restaurants and more retail outlets on the outskirts of the town. There is a mainline station with trains that can whisk you to London in about half an hour.
There are excellent educational facilities with a number of primary schools including Slade Primary rated Outstanding by Ofsted, several Outstanding grammar schools which includes The Judd School (boys), Tonbridge Grammar school and The Weald of Kent (girls) with specialist status including performing arts, maths and ICT, music and sports. There is also the West Kent College of further education and a small University of Kent campus as well as the famous independent Tonbridge School for boys founded in 1553. This provides a leisure club with extremely good facilities available to external club members including a swimming pool, gymnasium, athletics track and tennis courts while the town itself has golf, football, rugby, tennis and cricket clubs.
