A fine character conversion in this almost 'country-like' setting, on the edge of Nevill Park within the confines of St. Paul's Church.
An imaginative residential conversion of an impressive former Victorian school building, carried out some twenty years ago to create two individual freehold residences.
This property enjoys deceptively spacious accommodation which is full of period character and the nicely-appointed interior is laid-out in a modern minimalist style, with lots of open-plan space providing a good contrast with the old fabric of the building.
Highlights include the high beamed reception hall opening straight into the enormous open plan sitting/dining/games room, which is full height to the roof at one end, with a study area and an oak staircase up to the bedroom accommodation. The other end of the room features a wide dressed stone fireplace, fitted with a gas fire in the style of a wood burning stove, with contemporary-style cupboards fitted in the recesses either side. The original oak flooring throughout has been sanded and lightened in tone.
The open-plan kitchen/dining/family room is equally impressive, with a contemporary-style kitchen, tiled flooring and granite worktops opening into a striking glass-roofed extension, with both areas giving direct access to the garden. In addition there is a well fitted utility room and a cloakroom on the ground floor.
Upstairs, there are four bedrooms, a stylish en suite shower room and a family bathroom.
The property offers underfloor heating throughout the ground floor with radiators upstairs and a new condensing boiler with a 7 year guarantee has recently been installed. There is a Bang & Olufsen system to the ground floor, with the equipment available by separate negotiation.
The rear garden offers lovely space for entertaining. To the front is a flagstone forecourt providing parking space for several vehicles and a Podpoint 7kw electric car charging point.

This reminds me of a hamlet in the countryside set around the Church, yet this is Tunbridge Wells!
