The entrance hall leads to two reception rooms, a sitting room with flueless fire and bay window at the front, and the former dining room, which has also been used as a playroom, snug and home gym over the years.

On the first floor, there is a spacious double bedroom to the front with bay window, 2 further doubles and the family bathroom with shower over the bath and built-in storage. Upstairs again to the second floor, you will find another double bedroom with windows to the side and rear and useful under eaves storage. The main bedroom is partially below eaves with a window to the rear and Velux roof lights to the front. A recess creates the perfect space for a freestanding wardrobe and the en-suite has a walk-in shower, basin and WC with marble tiled flooring. Outside, there is a small area of garden to the front with a side gate leading through to the rear garden. The garden gets good sunshine in the summer months, and the paved terrace at the rear of the garden is the perfect place to soak up the sunshine through into the evening. Another patio adjacent to the house enjoys the morning sun and the level lawn has flower borders with wisteria, jasmine and vine providing plenty of colour and perfume in the warmer months.

What We Love About This Property
We love how the accommodation flows in this property, working so well for family life with the separate reception rooms and the kitchen/dining/family room creating a welcoming and sociable space with a wonderful connection with the garden.The location is perfect if you want to be a short walk of the Grammar schools and St Johns also has a great selection of local shops and eateries with the town centre being only 15 minutes' walk. High Brooms and Tunbridge Wells stations are approximately 20 and 25 minutes' walk respectively, so the location works well for all ages. We love the attractive, yet low-maintenance garden, with two paved patios separated by a lawned garden, and the rear patio is the perfect sun trap in the summer months. Having the side access is so useful to have and means there is space to hide bins out of view.

...
For a family home, it is brilliant to have all 5 bedrooms as double rooms to avoid any arguments over bedroom sizes, although if you only needed 4 bedrooms, why not look at converting one of the bedrooms to a luxury family bathroom or creating a useful home office space? It's such a flexible family home that works so well and can be adapted easily to suit your own preferences.
