Tunbridge Wells first became known as a fashionable spa town in the 17th century, when its natural water and clean country air became known to the well-to-do looking for a retreat from more crowded towns, somewhere their ailments could be cured in a peaceful setting.

These days, it is still one of Kent’s most treasured places to live and offers appeal to a host of house-hunters thanks to its high-quality shopping, amenities, culture, sport venues, well-performing schools and transport connections by road and rail. By road, Tonbridge and Sevenoaks are an easy drive away, and it’s just 12 miles to the junction of the M25 and M26. Rail services offer around an hour’s commute from the capital. Situated in the northern part of the High Weald AONB, the town is also on the doorstep of countryside and landscape that walkers, runners and cyclists will love.
