An impressive Victorian townhouse set over four floors in the heart of Tunbridge Wells, perfectly placed for the High Street, Pantiles and station.
3 York Road is an elegant and characterful bow-fronted period townhouse which dates back to the late 1800s, tucked away in this highly central and convenient location within the town.
The light, spacious, well-balanced accommodation is set across four floors, still retaining many period features, including high ceilings, deep skirting boards, exposed wood flooring, attractive feature fireplaces and large sash windows, now complemented and enhanced by a highly stylish standard of presentation throughout.
At entry level, there are two reception rooms, one to the rear which is used as a more formal sitting room and one to the front with a bay window and attractive fitted alcove units to either side, which is a more relaxed study/snug/family room.
The lower ground floor is home to the wonderful open-plan kitchen/breakfast room to one end and dining/family room to the other. There is also a separate utility room, with plumbing for a washing machine and dryer and a downstairs WC. The kitchen area is centred around a large island with striking quartz worktops providing plenty of preparation space, attractive shaker style base and wall cabinetry providing good storage with a range of integrated appliances and plenty of room for informal dining at the breakfast bar. The dining room area can be arranged to suit with space for a large dining table, a pretty feature fireplace, bay window seat, library and a separate useful access, with steps up to York Road.
A balustrade staircase rises up to the first and second floors, the house enjoys four bedrooms, including two large doubles on each floor with bay windows to the front and two bedrooms to the rear. There is a shower room on the first floor and well-appointed family bathroom on the second floor.
Outside - 3 York Road enjoys a charming, walled and paved courtyard garden, accessed directly from the kitchen/breakfast room which is a delightful, well-screened spot for outdoor entertaining, with ease of maintenance in mind.
Parking - York Road is Zone C. Residents' permit parking is available via Tunbridge Wells Borough Council. The current owners also rent an off-road parking space just a few yards from the house.

I love that even though you are in the very midst of the town centre with everything you need on the doorstep, you are also just a matter of moments from parks and open spaces and the train station giving easy access to the coast or city.
