Cemetery Lodge,Benhall Mill Road,TUNBRIDGE WELLS,TN2 5JH
TN2 5JH
5 bed 1 bath Detached
Five-bedroom period gatehouse with large private gardens and scope to modernise.
Detached late‑1800s Gothic Revival gatehouse in sandstone
An uncommon opportunity: a late-19th century, Gothic‑style detached gatehouse set on a deep, mature plot on the outskirts of Royal Tunbridge Wells. The property retains period features — sandstone elevations, arched and bay windows, high ceilings and a stone fireplace — and offers flexible accommodation including a ground‑floor bedroom with adjoining dressing room, plus four first‑floor bedrooms.
The house will suit buyers who value character and garden privacy. Reception rooms are generous, the kitchen/breakfast room and separate utility provide practical family space, and the rear garden is notably private and lawned with mature screening. A right of way will be created to allow vehicle access into the rear garden to form off‑street parking.
Practical considerations: the home is warm via gas central heating but has an Energy Efficiency Rating of D and only part‑double glazing; there is a single family bathroom on the first floor. The property is unlisted, which allows scope for sympathetic updating or reconfiguration, but buyers should expect refurbishment work to modernise heating, insulation and sanitary arrangements if required.
Overall this detached lodge is attractive to families or buyers seeking a distinctive period home with substantial private gardens and scope to improve energy performance and internal layout. Viewing is recommended for anyone wanting a characterful home in a very affluent, well‑served part of Tunbridge Wells.
