Set on about 5 acres on Argos Hill, this detached Sussex house offers striking southerly views and extensive outdoor space ideal for family life and entertaining. With a large paved terrace, lawns, mature planting and an outdoor swimming pool, the grounds provide privacy and superb scope for outdoor living and hobbies.
Internally the house provides versatile accommodation over three floors — generous reception rooms including an elegant drawing room, formal dining room and conservatory, plus a substantial kitchen/breakfast room and utility. Five principal bedrooms (two with en suites and a dressing room) are complemented by two attic rooms on the top floor, suitable for family, guests or home working.
The property was constructed around 1930–49 and benefits from modern double glazing and mains gas heating, but the house now needs renovation throughout. Updating and redecoration offer an opportunity to tailor the large living spaces to contemporary family needs; purchasers should factor in a refurbishment programme and possible insulation improvements to the cavity walls.
Practical points to note: drainage is private, council tax is at the higher Band G, and the house sits in a very low-crime, affluent rural area with good local schools and easy access to Tunbridge Wells. The setting and scale make this a rare plot for buyers who want substantial grounds and the chance to create a modern family home in the Sussex countryside.
