Overview
This handsome property, built in the late 1970s, sits in a lovely quiet location at the end of this no through road on the south side of the town. Characteristically for houses of this period, it is light and spacious, with large picture windows, generous room sizes and a family-friendly flow of accommodation. The property is very well presented, with a contemporary, newly-fitted kitchen and double glazing throughout. It has a very private and fully enclosed garden to the rear, featuring to one side of the garden a secluded and securely-gated swimming pool with pool house and, at the end of the garden, a summer house (with power) which could serve a variety of purposes.
The house is set well back from the road to the front, providing ample off-road parking and access to the spacious garage. The house is situated in a lovely neighbourhood on the popular southern side of Tunbridge Wells and is close to the historic Pantiles with its restaurants, bars and independent shops and within a 15 minute walk of the railway station. The property will appeal to families due to its proximity to excellent schools and will also suit commuters, with the mainline station within walking distance.
Accommodation
A few steps lead up to the solid front door, which leads to a welcoming entrance hall with guest cloakroom/WC. The hallway is laid with warm oak flooring, which continues into the double-aspect sitting room with its attractive contemporary woodburning stove and bifold doors to the rear garden. Adjacent to this room is the second large reception room, which currently serves as a home office but could eqaully be used as a play room or family room.
To the right of the entrance hall is the beautiful kitchen/breakfast room, recently fitted with a gloss-white Krieder kitchen featuring a mix of porcelain and stainless steel worktops, a Quooker tap for immediate hot and chilled water, and an extensive range of quality integrated appliances, including a double steam oven, double oven, five-ring induction hob, two dishwashers, a full-height fridge and a freezer.
There is also a kitchen pensinsula with seating giving plenty of space for informal dining and social cooking. This light and bright room has a large window to the front, and bi-fold doors to the rear which give access straight onto the rear garden. There are two large velux windows bringing further light flooding into this space. Off of the kitchen there is a generous utility room, fitted with white-fronted cupboards, with plumbing and space for a washing machine and dryer and further fridge/freezer. Off of the utility there is a shower room (with WC and steam shower) conveniently located next to the back door, perfect for after-swimming showering and drying. A further door leads off the utility room to the integrated garage with electric doors.
On the first floor there is a master bedroom with a contemporary ensuite bathroom and extensive fitted wardrobes, four further good sized double bedrooms, one with an ensuite, and the family bathroom. The loft space is boarded and is accessed via a drop-down ladder from the landing.
Outside
The driveway provides parking for several vehicles and leads to the garage. To the front of the house there is attractive bedding and mature planting and gated side access to the rear garden. The rear garden is a calm and delightfully secluded space which has been very successfully zoned, with a large area of stone paving adjacent to the swimming pool providing a lovely spot for dining. The pool is fully fenced with attractive iron railings to all sides, and set down from the main garden area. To the rear of the garden is the attractive summer house, perfect for home working or for use as a studio or teenage den. The rest of the garden is laid to lawn, with mature planting creating added interest. The garden is flanked with mature hedging, trees and fences, which completely enclose the garden and give it a very private aspect.
What We Love About This House
The quality of the refurbishment, the light, spacious accommodation, the location and the beautiful garden are all strong features of this beautiful family home. The current owners have created a wonderful family home, enjoying the best that Tunbridge Wells has to offer, with the children attending Tunbridge Wells’ excellent state schools, and the house affording an easy commute to London. This home perfectly meets the needs of the growing family. The accommodation is very well proportioned and has a lovely flow, providing plenty of space for everyone to escape to if needed. All of the bedrooms are good sized doubles, providing perfect family/guest accommodation. The refurbishments have been completed to an incredibly high standard, with a real attention to detail, meaning that this is a house that you can move into and enjoy on “day one”.
As is typical with houses of the era, there are large picture windows, and bifold or patio doors to the three reception rooms ensuring that even on the cloudiest of days this spacious house is filled with natural light. The landscaped garden is secluded and fully enclosed, full of mature plants and shrubs, with a green and varied aspect which creates extra interest. The aspect is such that the garden enjoys sunshine all day long, on the poolside patio in the morning and evenings, and at the pool and summer house patio throughout the day.
The swimming pool is a lovely addition, made safe for all ages of children thanks to the robust railings that surround it. The summer house provides valuable further space if required, whether as an office, teenage den or summer sleepover room.
