Property description & features

  • Tenure: Freehold
This unique period property, hidden behind a quiet cul-de-sac in Tunbridge Wells, is ideal for a variety of requirements. It has a spacious self-contained annex, two separate offices on the first floor with vaulted ceilings and exposed beams and an artist's studio.

A long driveway flanked by high hedging leads to the double garage/workshop and off road parking. The front door opens into an attractive entrance hall with a spiral staircase and coat cupboard and access to much of the ground floor accommodation including the family bathroom, master bedroom with an en suite bathroom and three other double bedrooms.

The attractive lounge has ceiling beams and an impressive brick surround fireplace with a log burner stove, a staircase to one of the offices, access to a study/snug with exposed beams and double doors to the stunning atrium/dining hall with bi-fold doors to the garden and stairs to the annex first floor. The spacious kitchen/breakfast room includes units with built in and stand-alone appliances while the breakfast area has views over the garden and stairs down to the dining room with its central beam and tiled flooring.

In the extensive annex there is a large living room with underfloor heating, a wide arch to the kitchen/breakfast room, a bathroom and double bedroom on the ground floor while upstairs there are two bedrooms and a shower room.

The nearly half an acre of gardens include wraparound lawns, specimen trees, a covered loggia, a high hedge surrounding much of the property and a 10ft brick wall that runs along the back of the house providing privacy and security. There are also two sheds including one big enough to house one and a half cars, a large capacity heat pump and hot water tank.

What the Owner says:
We bought this fascinating property some 37 years ago as we immediately fell in love with the quiet location in the centre of Tunbridge Wells and have thoroughly enjoyed our time here. However it is now time for us to downsize although we shall continue to live nearby. We purchased two of our neighbours' gardens so we could knock down a large wall that was taking a lot of light and built the annex.
We love walks in nearby Calverley and Dunorlan Parks and it is only a half mile stroll to the town centre with its famous Pantiles, high street stores, independent shops, restaurants, salons and hotels as well as cinemas, a theatre and the station where train journeys to London take less than an hour. There are excellent nursery, primary, secondary and private schools close by and plenty of sporting activities available as well as easy access to the A21/M25.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
