A top choice for families

For families looking to put down roots, Tunbridge Wells’ outstanding education options remain one of its strongest draws. The town and surrounding area is renowned for its grammar schools, including The Judd School, The Skinners’ School, Tunbridge Wells Grammar School for Boys and Tunbridge Wells Girls’ Grammar School, alongside a wide range of state and independent options. The strength of the schools not only attracts families from across Kent but increasingly from London and neighbouring counties, as many make the move for both affordability and quality of life.

Green space and outdoor lifestyle are also central to the town’s appeal. Residents enjoy easy access to Dunorlan Park, Calverley Grounds and the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, offering woodland walks, cycling routes and family-friendly days out. For commuters, the regular train services to London Bridge, Waterloo East and Charing Cross, typically within an hour, provide an attractive balance between city access and rural calm.

A choice of housing for every lifestyle

One of Tunbridge Wells’ greatest strengths is the diversity of its housing stock. In the centre, Georgian and Regency properties - though increasingly scarce - offer character. Surrounding neighbourhoods feature generous Victorian and Edwardian homes, while further out buyers can find high-quality mid-20th-century houses and modern properties.

At the upper end of the market, the town’s private parks remain some of its most prestigious addresses. Hungershall Park, Camden Park, Nevill Park and Calverley Park offer privacy, greenery and a sense of seclusion while remaining within walking distance of the town centre. The latter, designed by the acclaimed 19th-century architect Decimus Burton - also responsible for Wellington Arch in Hyde Park - stands out as one of the finest examples of a traditional “park suburb” in the South East.

Ross notes strong growth in demand for St John’s and St James’s parishes, which have become increasingly popular with younger buyers and families. “The Camden Road area has also undergone a remarkable transformation,” he adds. “It’s now filled with independents and has a cool, bohemian feel that people really love.”
