Location
A well kept, substantial detached family house in this favoured location, ideally placed for the southern town centre and the station.
A classic Edwardian Tunbridge Wells house, offering a sense of space with fine proportions and attractive character features, including high ceilings with mouldings, wonderful fireplaces, oak panelling and beams, large windows, some with leaded light and colour glass detailing, picture rails and dado rails. There is also an impressive, oak detailed staircase, rising up through the house to both floors upstairs.
The house runs to approximately 3,953 sq ft over three floors, with a spacious cellar offering three distinct rooms, covering a further 494 sq ft. The accommodation has been updated over time and well maintained, and stand out features include the two fine, well appointed reception rooms, with oak panelling to dado height in the sitting room and fitted cupboards and book shelving to the dining room library. Also, the kitchen breakfast room, which has plenty of space for a dining table and with an outlook and access over the rear terrace, plus a good size larder, with a door outside and access for deliveries.
The principle bedroom also merits a mention, having great scale, a double aspect, a wonderful fireplace and a generous en-suite bathroom, with central roll top bath.
Outside, there is a driveway with parking for three or more cars, which is very good for this location. To the rear and side, there is an attractive outside stone entertaining terrace, with mature planting and screening and with a planted covered pergola. A few steps from here lead to the level lawned garden, secured by fencing. Garden and side passage to the front drive.

This is a great location on the south side of town, where I have enjoyed living myself during certain times in my life. Right on the edge of the fashionable south side of Tunbridge Wells, ideal for the station, good schools, and the shopping, cafes and restaurants and bars of the High Street and The Pantiles, and also the Cricket and Tennis off Warwick Park and the vast open spaces of Tunbridge Wells Common.
