5 bedroom detached house for sale

Coming to the market for the first time in almost 25 years is this wonderful family home, situated in a premium location, being in the heart of the village area of Tunbridge Wells, just off from Warwick Park on the section of Rodmell Road that leads into Madeira Park. Its enviable location sees it nestled at the end of a private drive, in a generous plot of one-third of an acre, which includes a large gravel driveway to the front, and beautiful landscaped grounds to the rear, flanked with mature trees.

A large and bright hallway sets the tone for this beautiful house, with its wooden flooring which runs through much of the accommodation on both levels and glimpses through to the rear garden. The first of the reception rooms is to the left: a fabulous traditional sitting room with French doors opening to the rear garden, a large window to the front and a beautiful feature fireplace. Adjacent is the family room, again with French doors to the rear terrace and which over the years has served as a children’s playroom, a garden room and home office. Adjacent again to this is the dine-in kitchen, a light and bright space with an extensive range of wall and base units in a contemporary silk, off-white, handle-less finish, topped with Corian worktops and with quality integrated appliances. French doors, flanked with glazing and a large window provide lovely aspects and access to the rear garden.

To the front of the property is a further suite of rooms, which include a WC, home office, utility room with door to the rear garden, and a fabulous air-conditioned cinema room, complete with projector and automated black out blinds. There is also excellent storage space in this area in the form of an under-stairs cupboard, a bank of fitted shelving and a large walk in cupboard.

The rear garden is a real feature of this property and conveniently accessed from all three rooms that run along the rear of the house. Professionally landscaped, it includes a large millboard raised terrace, with glazed balustrades and a fabulous outlook over the garden, which is laid to lawn with lots of established shrubs and planting to add year-round interest. At the foot of the garden is a wooded area, where there are currently situated two large sheds, and which would equally serve as the perfect spot for a home office or studio (subject to necessary consents). The house has the definite advantage of being encased within its own plot, and accordingly to either side there are generous returns, perfect for storing bins, logs and hanging washing.

On the first floor there are four double bedrooms and a single bedroom (currently serving as a dressing room). The master bedroom has a fabulous outlook over the rear garden which can be completely enjoyed thanks to the Juliette balcony, and also features its own ensuite shower room. The second largest bedroom on this floor also has its own dressing room and ensuite shower room, and the final two double rooms benefit from fitted storage. The family bathroom serves these remaining two bedrooms and the single bedroom, and is a good size with a separate bath and shower. There is also a linen cupboard and access to the loft which is boarded and fitted with a ladder for easy access.

The house is approached via a gravel driveway, which gives ample parking for up to 4 vehicles. The privacy and seclusion that this house provides is first class, and yet it is just a short walk from the High Street, mainline station, The Pantiles, the Tunbridge Wells Lawn Tennis Club and The Neville Cricket Ground. The Grove Park is a also within easy distance, as is Calverley Park. The location and setting of this house, combined with its spacious accommodation really do make it one to see.
