Inspired by Californian mid-century vernacular comes this unexpected four-bedroom courtyard house in Tunbridge Wells designed by Eric Mayne. Its low elevation and interlocking forms create a staggered plan with shifting sightlines between the internal living spaces and the garden, which wraps around the house. The current owners have taken great care to preserve the original parquet floors and wooden Pella accordion room dividers. The town centre is a 10-minute walk away with a wide selection of shops, cafes, and restaurants, along with trains to Charing Cross in under an hour.
