A stylish Victorian townhouse set over five floors on a secluded private road in the 'village' area of Tunbridge Wells, ideally placed for the high street, Pantiles and station
14 Cumberland Walk is an elegant Victorian townhouse found in this enviable location, tucked away whilst close to the historic Pantiles and within the popular 'Village' area of Tunbridge Wells. This handsome terrace of period houses is set on the charming brick-paved Cumberland Walk. Pedestrian access from this historic footpath is via its west-facing terraced garden to the "front" door.
Having been updated by our clients in recent years, the accommodation which is set across five floors, still retains much character and period features, including high ceilings, deep skirting boards, internal wood panelled doors and sash windows, now complimented and enhanced by the improved layout and stylish standard of presentation throughout.
On entry from Eden Road the reception hall opens to the ground floor with a welcoming and sizeable formal reception room with an attractive feature fireplace, log burner and large bay window with treetop views westward. The ground floor is also home to fourth bedroom, which could always be used as a further reception room/occasional bedroom, subject to individual needs, with a separate wc also on this floor.
The first floor is home to the luxurious principal bedroom with its feature, freestanding, roll top bath from which to enjoy the tree top views and vanity unit. There is a further double bedroom and beautifully appointed shower room. The second floor houses a further large double bedroom and en suite bathroom.
From the ground floor an attractive staircase leads to the very striking lower ground floor with impressive ceilings, which is now home to the stylish, open-plan kitchen/diner centered around a large island with striking quartz worktop and breakfast bar, providing plenty of preparation space and room for more informal dining, attractive base and wall cabinetry provide good storage with some integrated appliances, and space for an oven range; a utility area is nestled into the vaults below Eden Road. The adjoining dining area set into the bay window is a cosy, relaxed entertaining space and the front door leads to the paved terraces, ideal for outdoor entertaining.
A sizeable further reception room on the lower ground floor provides super space for any number of uses, currently used by our clients as a study/home office, ideal for today's working from home needs.
Outside: 14 Cumberland Walk also enjoys the notable the benefit of a reserved parking space opposite the rear door of the property in front of the brick wall on the privately-owned Eden Road which runs behind the houses. The property owns a section of road, the width of the house, with through-access granted to other residents. The convention is to approach from Mount Sion down Eden Road and exit by continuing round the bend to Cumberland Yard and back to Mount Sion further up the hill.

I love the views over the garden and then the rooftops as you move up the house. The location is super; somehow you feel hidden away from it all whilst being in the thick of it, as you're out of the door and onto the High Street or The Pantiles in just a matter of minutes!
