Having a home close to a favourite sporting amenity is just as important for some people as being near a good school or train station is for others. For cricket and tennis enthusiasts, Countryside Properties' new homes at 'Rossetti Gardens' in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, is ideally located directly opposite the famous Neville Lawn Tennis Club, which is one of the oldest and largest tennis clubs in the county, and within 50 yards of Kent County Cricket Ground.
Phil Baxter, Managing Director for Countryside Properties' South Thames Division, comments, "These 'Arts and Crafts' style homes are quite exceptional and would be ideal for sporting families. In addition to the tennis club and the cricket club, the sports facilities nearby also include golf courses, horse riding and leisure centres with swimming pools. The surrounding countryside is ideal for cycling, walking and fishing, and each home comprises about 3,000 sq. ft. of living accommodation, allowing plenty of space inside. Each home also has a room above the garage, ideal for a home gym."
Rossetti Gardens is an exclusive cul-de-sac off Upper Cumberland Walk, a private tree lined road, in an attractive mature wooded setting, comprising just three detached family houses. Each five-bedroom house has been individually designed, and created in charmingly unconventional 'Arts and Crafts' style designs, with asymmetrical features, sprawling floor layouts and unique features such as vaulted hallways, oriel windows and a glazed kitchen/breakfast area, which resembles an orangery and has a terraced balcony above, leading from the master bedroom suite.
One of the homes has a formal staircase from the main entrance hall, with a second one at the side of the home, leading from the study up to a huge galleried room over the garage. The other two homes have detached garages with rooms above, which would be ideal as a self-contained apartment, an office or a games room/gym.

Each house at Rossetti Gardens has been carefully designed on the outside to reflect the impressive Arts and Crafts era. Inside the homes, there is an abundance of space with numerous reception rooms, bedrooms and bathrooms, built in generous proportions and to exceptionally high specifications. These include a choice of individually designed luxury fitted kitchens, with integrated appliances including range cookers, American style fridge/freezers and dishwashers.
Rossetti Gardens is in the sought after neighbourhood of Warwick Park, just under a mile from the town centre of Royal Tunbridge Wells, an elegant spa town that first came into providence in the eighteenth century as a place where aristocracy would escape London life. The town is steeped in history, much of which is still evident today, with the presence of many period buildings, parks and gardens.
The area is particularly renowned for its educational facilities, including a wide choice of primary and secondary level schools in both the state and private sectors. Other amenities in the town itself include an array of shops, restaurants and other entertainments.
There are excellent road and rail links with the nearby M25, M20 and M26 motorways, all providing fast and efficient links to other parts of the South East. A regular service to London also runs from Tunbridge Wells railway station to Charing Cross, which takes approximately 50 minutes.
The three five-bedroom detached properties are available to purchase priced in the region of £900,000. For sales enquiries telephone 01372 370 130 or email st@cpplc.com. Find out more about Countryside Properties at www.countryside-properties.com.
