Mount Pleasant, Lamberhurst, Tunbridge Wells, Kent, TN3

A unique period attached four bedroom home blending rural charm and contemporary style with panoramic views over the Teise Valley together with Equestrian Facilities.

Stable Cottage is a delightful property within a small hamlet of the original Mount Pleasant Farm located in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty about 7 miles to the East of Tunbridge Wells. The property has been sympathetically extended and extensively renovated by the present owners to a high specification. The imaginatively reconfigured accommodation is light and bright with an excellent attention to detail resulting in the principle rooms enjoying a glorious southerly aspect with broad picture windows and oak doors opening on to a terrace and gardens. The ‘Creative Joinery’ woodwork is a particular feature throughout.

Lamberhurst Village, about 1.3 miles further East, offers a general store with post office, restaurants, village hall, a doctors’ surgery, three inns, a renowned golf course and the pretty parish church of St Mary’s. More comprehensive shopping, dining and commercial facilities are available in Wadhurst and Tunbridge Wells.

There is an extensive range of schools in the area in the state and private sector, including Lamberhurst St Mary’s CoE, Wadhurst CoE, Sacred Heart and Uplands in Wadhurst, Bethany in Goudhurst and the Grammar Schools in Tunbridge Wells.
