February 20, 2020

If you're looking to move to a part of the country that is rich in beauty and history, then Kent should be at the top of your list. 

First coined as the ‘Garden of England’ by King Henry VIII, Kent claims to be the oldest county in England and boasts around 17,000 listed buildings. It’s home to a number of historical landmarks such as the 1,400-year-old Canterbury Cathedral, and also has a number of striking coastal features such as the famous White Cliffs of Dover.

In the heart of western Kent lies Tunbridge Wells, a historic town that was frequently visited by Queen Anne and is also where Queen Victoria often came as part of her holidays. Of course, it’s surrounded by beautiful countryside, with over 69% of the town named as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and designated as a Special Protection Area and a Special Area of Conservation, according to the Official Tourism Website for Tunbridge Wells. 

It's also home to stunning properties such as Langton House. Langton House is an elegant Grade II listed Regency house with outstanding original period features. The property is especially easy on the eye thanks to its white-washed brick walls with blue shutters, slate roof and colonial-style veranda.

Inside, there is over 8,000 sq ft of living space spread across three floors. This spacious property has eight bedrooms, five bathrooms and seven reception rooms, so there’s lots of room for entertaining and for family and friends staying over.

In addition, the property has a self-contained flat, perfect for a guest or two to stay over, and there is a large wine cellar for storing your favourite vintage. 

The grounds are truly spectacular. The formal gardens are planted with magnificent trees and feature rolling lawns, a large cricket ground maintained by a professional groundsman, a pavilion, stable dock and a tennis court – ideal for budding players. 

The gardens and grounds extend to approximately 12 acres and include a beautiful bluebell wood. 

Langton House sits in a prime location in Tunbridge Wells, with access to two of the country's top private schools and is within easy commute to London from Sevenoaks and Tonbridge.
