A substantial Grade II listed former riding school offering more than 3,500 sq ft of flexible family accommodation across three floors. The house sits within about 1.55 acres of private land with access to communal grounds, a tennis court and a large planted atrium, delivering rare space and privacy on the edge of Groombridge.
The layout suits a growing family: a principal suite with en suite, multiple reception rooms including a drawing room opening to terrace and garden, a study and a large kitchen/breakfast room. There is clear scope to reconfigure or update parts of the house to modern tastes, with potential to add an additional bedroom if required.
Buyers should be aware of material constraints: the property is Grade II listed, which will restrict alterations and may make some renovations more costly or require specialist consent. The house has solid brick walls (likely without insulation), an EPC rating of D, oil-fired heating and private/shared drainage — all factors that affect running costs and future works. Communal costs exist (estate drive fee and shared maintenance) and council tax is in Band G, so annual outgoings are notable.
Well placed for family life, the home is close to Groombridge village amenities, a well-regarded primary school and rail links to London at Eridge and Tunbridge Wells. This is a character-rich country estate property for a buyer seeking seclusion, substantial grounds and the opportunity to carefully modernise within listed constraints.
