The gardens lead down to a small stream, with further land beyond. Tunbridge Wells is a short distance away with its full mix of social, retail and educational facilities. The latter include a good number of well regarded schools at primary, secondary, independent and grammar levels. The current owners have made considerable efforts to advance the cottage in their time, including the installation of a new family shower room, the installation of double glazed sash windows throughout and the construction of an impressive garden room.
