A handsome, Victorian townhouse, offering considerable potential found in the sought after St. James' area of Tunbridge Wells, perfectly placed for the schools and amenities of the town.
Having been in the same ownership for nearly fifty-five years, 23 St. James Road now offers a wonderful opportunity for a new family to put their stamp on the property moving forward, modernising, extending and configuring the house as they wish, subject to all necessary consents.
The well-proportioned accommodation is set across four floors and enjoys a wealth of period features typical for a property of this era, including high ceilings, sash windows, deep skirting boards, dado and picture rails.
The ground floor is currently arranged with a sizeable and welcoming sitting room to the front of the house with a pleasant elevated view through the large bay window. There is a separate study, ideal for today's working from home needs. The generous, light-filled kitchen/breakfast room is to the rear of the house with the fitted kitchen providing good storage and preparation space, with ample room for a large table and seating area, creating a very sociable setting with direct access onto the raised decked terrace and gardens beyond.
There are two large double bedrooms and a single bedroom on the first floor, together with a shower room. There are two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom on the second floor.
The lower ground floor is currently home to an art studio, a work/store room with sink, a WC, with access to both the garage to the front and gardens to the rear.
Outside: 23 St. James Road enjoys a generous, well-screened and established town garden which is perfect for both child's play and outdoor entertaining. The property provides driveway parking for several cars, which a notable asset in this central Tunbridge Wells location.

This is a very special and rare opportunity to secure a wonderful family home. A stay of over 50 years is testament to the convenience of the location and the community on offer here. I suspect the new owners will feel very lucky indeed when the keys are handed over!
