House for sale in Byng Road, Tunbridge Wells

This fabulous, detached house, which was built in 1934 offers a rare opportunity to be remodelled and refurbished to create a desirable family home.  Coming to the market for the first time in 60 years, the house incorporates many period features, including oak parquet floors, Critall windows and fireplaces.  The house has received a light refurb throughout to allow the next owners to appreciate the beauty of the home and the undoubted potential that it offers. The outdoor space is superb with a large rear, secluded garden, pretty front garden, a garage and off-road parking.  It also is offered with the added advantage of no onward chain.

From the front door, a generous hallway leads to all the downstairs accommodation. The main reception room is a good size, lovely and light from the windows overlooking the front and French doors to the rear garden. A feature fireplace is a real focus, and there’s ample space for a good amount of furniture. Across the hallway is the second reception room, which would have served as the dining room, but would work perfectly as a family room, with another large window to the front, a serving hatch to the kitchen and a plenty of room for freestanding furniture.

To the rear of the property is the kitchen, with a window overlooking the rear garden and fitted with a selection of original kitchen cupboards, a freestanding cooker and washing machine.  Adjacent is a small workshop, which also provides access to the rear garden and the integrated garage. A separate WC completes the accommodation on this floor.

The landing on the first floor leads to the three double bedrooms and bathroom. Two of the bedrooms have fitted cupboards, and the bathroom has a bath, sink and bidet.  Adjacent is the separate WC, and a large linen cupboard and access to the loft, are also gained from the landing.  Many properties on the road have converted into the loft space, and this is absolutely something that could be considered for this home, subject again to the necessary consents. 

The rear garden is very private and generous. It can be accessed from both the sitting room and the workshop to the side of the kitchen, both leading onto an area of patio. From here, a few steps lead down to the main garden, laid to lawn and flanked with mature trees, creating a real sense of seclusion.  A wide side return leads to the front of the house and provides a useful space for storing bins etc.

Byng Road is a very popular road set off from Culverden Down.  It features attractive 1930s detached homes set on generous plots, which re-sell at a slow pace, demonstrating the desirability of the road.  The coveted grammar schools are all within easy reach, as is Bennett Memorial and primary school options in both the state and independent sector. The town centre is just a 15 minute walk away, along with the mainline station with its fast and frequent rail services to London.
