Blackham, Tunbridge Wells £1,150,000

This stunning attached home is a former conversion of a beautiful listed Georgian Pub thought to be built as a Hall House to a local estate in about 1753. Benefitting greatly from a complete refurbishment to include fully insulating and re-plumbing, this beautiful home retains many original features. Some have been added too including plaster cornices, picture rails and high detailed skirting boards all of which further enhance what is a truly characterful property. To the front is a large gravel driveway, a three-bay garage with self-contained air-conditioned office which benefits from its own toilet and kitchenette, and extensive wrap around gardens with patios front and back. The garage building also benefits from a planning consent for separate commercial use if required (which may need renewing) and the gardens receive all-day sun. The plot is surrounded by fields and woodland with barely another house in sight and is serviced by two separate driveways. Internal space is superb with large dual-aspect rooms and high ceilings. The entrance hallway opens to a snug with in-built bookshelves & original shutters on one window matching those found in Nelsons cabin on HMS Victory! A large separate dining room with attractive fireplace opens to a spacious kitchen at the front. This is a large room with central island, attractive granite capped worktops and butler sink, not to mention masses of storage an integrated Siemens appliances including dishwasher, fridge/freezer and double oven. A generous full width lounge with French casement windows and a downstairs WC completes the features of the ground floor. Finally, there’s a beautiful cellar (utilised as a games room) with additional storage. Upstairs are four sizeable double bedrooms (three with fireplaces) with far-reaching views and double-glazed sash windows. The main bedroom offers a huge en-suite bathroom with bath & shower and walk-through wardrobes on two sides. The large family bathroom is presented beautifully too and both rooms have bespoke hand-made vanity units. There is a stair accessible attic from bedroom four spanning the length of the main building which would be perfect for additional accommodation. (STP) Located in the desirable village of Blackham on a junction of the main A264 and Oak Lane there’s easy access to the popular towns of East Grinstead and Tunbridge Wells as well as the beautiful Ashdown Forest. This is a stunning family home, with potential to improve further, that will endear itself to the lucky new owners from day one. An easy viewing recommendation from us!
