Set just outside London, close to the vibrant town of Tunbridge Wells, this newly completed four-bedroom detached home offers a considered take on modern British living. Priced at £1.25 million, it forms part of an exclusive seven-home development by Beau Property, with only two residences now remaining. From the outset, the house distinguishes itself through generous proportions, natural light, and a clear focus on everyday liveability.

First Impressions on Arrival
The entrance hallway establishes the home’s calm, open character. Bathed in natural light, it features bespoke oak stair detailing, black spindles, and discreet spot lighting. “People underestimate how important it is to have a nice open space as you come home,” Hannah observes, a sentiment reinforced by the home’s thoughtful layout and concealed storage beneath the stairs. A whitened oak herringbone floor draws visitors toward the main living spaces beyond.
The Heart of the Home
The open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area unfolds on an impressive scale. “It’s like a TARDIS,” Hannah remarks, noting proportions rarely found in new-build homes. Consistent flooring enhances flow throughout the ground floor, while underfloor heating across every level adds comfort and efficiency.
At the centre sits a kitchen designed for entertaining. A substantial island with a marble-inspired quartz worktop gives elegance and durability, complemented by a waterfall edge detail and wood-lined cabinetry interiors. Slim shaker units in ash introduce a contemporary feel softened by subtle rural character.
The Heart of the Home
High-spec NEFF appliances are already integrated, alongside brass finishes that bring warmth to the neutral palette. A sculptural extractor conceals practical niches with soft lighting, while a window seat overlooking the garden adds informal seating. The adjoining utility and boot room, finished to the same standard as the kitchen, offers generous laundry facilities, storage, and direct garden access, ensuring functionality is fully integrated into the design.
Living, Dining, and Garden Connection
The dining area is lightly zoned and comfortably accommodates family gatherings, with expansive sliding doors opening onto a landscaped garden. Newly planted trees will mature to provide privacy over time. “They are futureproofing it,” Hannah notes, reflecting Beau Property’s long-term approach.
A relaxed lounge area sits within the open-plan space, while a second, more intimate front lounge provides a quieter retreat. Styled in Farrow and Ball tones with layered lighting and mirrors, the interiors reflect Beau Property’s in-house design ethos. Furnishings are available by separate negotiation, reinforcing the home’s turnkey appeal.
Bedrooms and Family Spaces
Upstairs, a generous landing leads to three bedrooms and a family bathroom. Paneled detailing and hidden storage maintain a clean, well-organised feel. The guest bedroom is styled as a boutique hotel suite, complete with fluted detailing, concealed LED lighting, and an ensuite featuring Italian Gessi fittings and underfloor heating.
Additional bedrooms are well-proportioned and flexible, while the family bathroom centres around a sunken bath and walk-in rainfall shower, finished in marble-inspired tiles with floating sanitaryware.
The Principle Suite
Occupying the entire top floor, the principal suite unfolds as a secluded retreat within the home. Set within the eaves, it brings together architectural character and impressive scale.
A skylit dressing area offers extensive storage and space for a vanity or workspace, while the expansive ensuite features a double vanity, freestanding bath, oversized rainfall shower, and textured finishes. A distinctive balcony window opens outward, creating a sheltered perch rarely seen in residential design.
The Principle Suite
Energy efficiency underpins the property, with an air source heat pump, underfloor heating throughout, double glazing, EV charging, and ample parking. With only two homes remaining and completion possible within four weeks, this Beau Property development presents a rare opportunity. As Hannah concludes, it is “a proper turnkey property,” offering architectural clarity, comfort, and focus on long-term livability near London.
