- Garden Meer bekijken Minder bekijken I have loved living in this family home in wonderful surroundings for the past 44 years and enjoyed creating this very special garden and am only having to leave for health reasons. It is in a gorgeous spot and, with the property backing onto the Fairlawn estate, there is no chance of the area being built on. As well as being in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty the picturesque village centre is also in a Conservation Area and a Special Landscape Area and is reputed to be one of the most sought-after villages in Kent. There is a large village green looked after by Fairlawn Estates, an historic church and a charming village hall at the end of a Kentish Hall House as well as tennis courts, a good primary school, an excellent weekly farmer’s market and the well-known Chaser Inn and restaurant while buses will take you to the surrounding towns and villages. Nearby Plaxtol includes a good primary school, pub and village store with a post office as well as a cricket and tennis club. It is only a couple of miles to a useful parade of shops with two supermarkets and a little over four miles to Tonbridge where you will find a variety of independent shops, hair and beauty salons, bars and restaurants with additional retail outlets on the outskirts of the town. Trains from Tonbridge station can whisk you to London in just over half an hour while the vibrant and historic town of Sevenoaks is only a short drive with the famous Knole House and park as well as a plethora of delightful restaurants, pubs, individual shops, independent and good state schools and train stations including the mainline to Charing Cross and Blackfriars. There are excellent local educational facilities with a number of primary schools including Slade Primary rated Outstanding by Ofsted, several Outstanding grammar schools including the high achieving The Judd for boys and Tonbridge Grammar School for girls with specialist status including performing arts, maths and ICT, music and sports. There is also Somerhill prep school, the independent Kent College, the West Kent College of further education and a small University of Kent campus as well as the famous independent Tonbridge School founded in 1553. This provides the thriving EM Forster theatre and leisure club (TSC) with extremely good facilities available to external club members including a swimming pool, gymnasium, athletics track and tennis courts while the town itself includes golf, football, rugby, tennis and cricket clubs.
