Alcott House
7 Bedroom House Tunbridge Wells, Kent

Alcott House comfortably accommodates up to 14 guests across seven beautifully appointed bedrooms. 

Indoor/Outdoor Swimming Pool

A real highlight of the property is the magnificent heated swimming pool, cleverly designed for year-round enjoyment. During the warmer months, the pool opens completely to the outdoors, allowing guests to swim beneath the summer sunshine. As the seasons change, it transforms into a fully enclosed indoor pool, complete with heating and air-handling systems to ensure a comfortable swimming environment even on the coldest winter days. A dedicated changing area at the end of the pool includes heated towel rails, perfect for drying swimwear and warming towels.

Entrance Hall: with grand staircase to the first floor. 

Kitchen/Living/Dining Room: this magnificent orangery-style kitchen and dining room, extending almost 40 feet in width, is a wonderful space for family gatherings and celebrations. Natural light floods through elegant lantern roof lights, while two sets of double doors open onto a beautiful terrace and landscaped gardens.

At the heart of the room is a striking central island with breakfast bar, complemented by a beautifully crafted, handmade Shaker-style kitchen. Fully equipped with a range cooker, six-burner gas hob, two ovens, two dishwashers, a large fridge and separate freezer.

The generous dining area seats up to 14 guests, with a feature gas fireplace adding warmth and character. A separate preparation kitchen, complete with a large sink and ample storage, provides an ideal space for food preparation or private caterers, keeping the main entertaining area beautifully organised.

Drawing room: an elegant and welcoming room with comfortable sofas, armchairs and a TV. Beautiful Crittall-style double doors open into the kitchen, living and dining area, creating one impressive, free-flowing space for entertaining, or allowing the drawing room to be closed off for quieter moments of relaxation.
