Location
A handsome and sizeable Grade II* Listed townhouse at one end of this iconic Regency crescent in central Tunbridge Wells, ideally placed for amenities, travel links and schools.
17 Calverley Park Crescent is a striking Grade II* listed end-of-crescent town house, designed by Decimus Burton and constructed between 1828 and 1835 of local Tunbridge Wells stone, with an eye-catching full height curved bay to its eastern end. Originally, these properties provided shops and services to the grand villas in Calverley Park with the accommodation above, but by 1837 they had been converted to full residential use.
The property benefits from the high ceilings and elegant proportions of this era and retains many period features including large sash windows, some with built-in wooden shutters, dado rails, deep skirting boards and panelled wood doors. Situated at the end of the crescent, the rooms across the principal floors enjoy a double or triple aspect, providing very good levels of natural light.
The ground floor is home to the impressive kitchen/dining room with it's large sash window to the front overlooking the gardens with shutters and built-in cupboards beneath and to the side. The kitchen is centred around an impressive and striking island incorporating a gas hob, induction hob, teppanyaki hob and extractor, providing plenty of preparation space, together with good storage and a range of integrated appliances, and plenty of room for a sizeable dining table.
The light and spacious first floor drawing room benefits from a marble fireplace and dual aspect. French doors open onto the South-facing balcony with views over the communal gardens towards Calverley Park and the town beyond.
The first floor also houses the bespoke family bathroom, from West One Bathrooms, and includes a freestanding bath to the bay, a freestanding vanity unit with wash basin and a large walk-in shower.
Three double bedrooms are found on the second floor, each enjoying a different vista. The principal bedroom, with built-in wardrobes also has two windows to the South elevation offering delightful and far reaching views over the town towards its southern fringes.
The lower ground floor offers much flexibility with a separate and independent access to Crescent Road and can be arranged and used to suit individual needs. This floor offers a further a kitchen/breakfast room, a shower room, a bedroom and a sitting room. The sitting room provides access via a half-glazed door to the games room/study and further very useful storage rooms which are located under the colonnade.
Outside: A highly attractive raised, paved colonnade, gives access to the front door, with room for seating looking out across the beautifully kept communal gardens.

I feel very privileged to be selling 17 Calverley Park Crescent once again, this is such a beautiful home, steeped in local history, ready for its new owners and custodians. I love that even though you are in the very midst of the town centre you are also just a matter of moments from Calverley Grounds.
