House for sale in Bayhall Road, Tunbridge Wells

A beautiful, detached house built in 1876, with a successful fusion of period features and wonderful modern additions resulting in the perfect family home. Generous reception and bedroom space with four double bedrooms, two luxurious bathrooms, stunning reception rooms and a large kitchen diner. The outdoor space is just as generous with a gorgeous rear garden, several outbuildings and off street parking.

As soon as you step in the front door of this amazing property you get a sense of what a unique find it is. Opposite the front door is the first of the reception rooms, currently used as a snug, with plenty of space for large furniture and with a feature fireplace. To the other side of the hallway is the large open plan kitchen /dining / living space which is fabulous in both size and appearance. The solid wood flooring is reclaimed from a café in Paris, and there are an excellent number of handleless wall and base units with quartz worktops and an instant boiling water tap. The dishwasher is integrated, and all other appliances are available separately. An island with power points under provides an extra preparation area as well as a space for casual seating and there is plenty of room for a large dining table and chairs. Beyond the dining area is a large reception space with an eco-friendly Scandinavian log burning stove and plenty of space for sizeable furniture, which flows into the south facing garden through a bank of bifold doors. To one side of the reception space is a flight of stairs leading down to a basement area that has been transformed into an extra space, ideal as a teenagers den, home office, play/ TV area. A separate utility space from the kitchen, houses the laundry facilities plus extra storage as well as a downstairs cloakroom.

On the first floor are the four fabulous double bedrooms, one with its own dedicated ensuite, and the family bathroom. The first bedroom overlooks the side with fabulous rooftop views and plenty of space for freestanding furniture. The second is to the front and has some built in alcove shelving, and the third is to the side and has a built in storage cupboard and feature fireplace. The fourth bedroom is the master suite, a wonderful space with a walk in dressing room , a beautiful and peaceful outlook to the rear, and an ensuite shower room with large walk in shower. The family bathroom has been recently renovated with stylish metro tiles to the walls and a large shower over the bath.

Directly outside the bifold doors is a decked area for seating and relaxing and then a few steps lead down to the large lawn with beautiful mature trees and shrubs, planted wildflowers, apple trees, and a vegetable patch. A brick path leads to the side return and a workshop and log store, and there’s a private path at the bottom of the garden that provides useful level access onto St. Peter’s Street. The rear garden is very special and totally unique. It is very generous in size, and far larger than one would expect for a property in this area. The current owners have made it very useable, with mature plants, zoned areas for relaxing, and plenty of space for a family.

We love the central location of this house and the fact it has off-street parking as well. Its elevated position ensures that it is very private and secluded, despite its central location.
