The Headline Details
This attractive, Victorian semi-detached house has been the subject of updating and improvement works over the past year and now offers beautifully styled accommodation, finished to a high standard and ready to move straight into and enjoy. The accommodation is arranged over three floors and still offers further potential to enlarge the top bedroom with a dormer as many neighbours have done, or to enlarge the bathroom to fit a separate bath and shower, if desired.
Ground Floor
The hallway has been thoughtfully decorated and feels so welcoming with attractive tiled floor and useful storage beneath the stairs. The sitting room has a bay window to the front with a bespoke window seat with additional storage beneath and display shelving and a log store have been fitted to the sides of the working fire, with limestone surround and slate hearth. The stylish kitchen/dining/family room to the rear has electric underfloor heating with gas central heating in all other areas, Crittall-style doors to the rear and lovely stained glass windows to the side. The kitchen area has quartz worksurfaces and integrated appliances including fridge/freezer, dishwasher and a washer/dryer and the gas range cooker is also included within the sale. There is plenty of space for a dining table and sofa with more useful storage fitted into the dining area. There is also a cloakroom WC off the hall which has also been fitted with high quality finishes.
Upper Floors
UPPER FLOORS Upstairs, the main bedroom is to the front and is a fabulous generous double room with bay window and stunning feature ceiling rose and fireplace. With plenty of space for wardrobes and an outlook over the cherry tree to the front, giving you privacy and beautiful blossom in the spring. There are two further bedrooms on the first floor and a small inner hallway leads to the bathroom and an additional cloakroom, providing you with the perfect opportunity to open up this area to create a larger bathroom with separate bath and shower, if desired. Upstairs again to the second floor and there is a fourth bedroom below the eaves with windows to the side and rear and under eaves storage. If more space is required, many neighbours have installed dormer windows in these rooms, which creates a much larger space, however, at the moment this room makes a great work from home and exercise space or a great bedroom for a child with sleeping to one end and a play area to the other.
Outside
There is a courtyard garden to the front of the house with side gate and the rear garden has been recently landscaped to create a stylish and low-maintenance, south-facing garden. There is a large patio for entertaining during the summer months and steps down with planters either side, to a level lawn with fruit trees at the far end to provide a little screening and privacy. The garden is a real sun-trap! There is unrestricted road-side parking to the front, although we understand due to the wider than average frontage, it may be possible to create parking for one car to the front, subject to the necessary consents.
What We Love
We adore how beautifully styled this home is, the high quality finish and attention to details - it really is ready to move straight into and enjoy. We love having a cosy sitting room with the working fire and the contrast of the kitchen/dining room being so light and bright and opening onto the patio as a fantastic, sociable space for summer entertaining. Stephens Road is always so popular with families and for good reason, it’s such a lovely community here and so conveniently placed. We love the well-proportioned rooms and the potential to still make the house your own if you wanted to enlarge the top bedroom and the bathroom. The garden is wonderfully easy to maintain and keep looking as beautiful as it does today and the wide side access means you have space to hide some garden storage out of view of the house and the southerly aspect makes it a real sun-trap.
Location
Stephens Road is a most desirable residential road within the St John's area of the vibrant spa town of Tunbridge Wells, popular with families thanks to its close proximity to the coveted grammar schools, and the fabulous sense of community. High Brooms mainline station is approximately 10 minutes walk away with regular services to London within an hour. The town centre, with a wonderful range of coffee shops, bars and restaurants, together with extensive shopping facilities, is within easy reach and there are excellent primary schools in the area. The impressive, award-winning Bluewater Shopping Centre is 30 miles away and if you want to escape to the south coast, then the lovely seaside towns are only 26 miles distant.
