Access London – Top Abodes In The UK’s Home Counties

It is no surprise that business in booming in the UK capital. To get ahead in many a career, working in the hustle and bustle of London is a no-brainer, but many prefer not to live in the heart of the city.

Set in the heart of Tunbridge Wells, on the former site of the Kent & Sussex Hospital, the homes are set within beautifully landscaped grounds, with mature trees, a children’s play area and an attractive water feature.
