Willicombe House, now stylishly restored, was once Ravensdale, the final family home of the Victorian developer William Willicombe. His work in Tunbridge Wells included grand houses in Landsdowne Road, Calverley Park Gardens and Sandrock Road as well as terraces of shops in The Pantiles and in the High Street. In the twentieth century Willicombe’s former home became a Barnardo’s Home and the training centre for St Christopher’s nursery nurses. It is now the centre of an Audley retirement village. Over the last year or so the garden setting has been delightfully recreated. www.audleyretirement.co.uk |
