House for sale in Dukes Drive, Tunbridge Wells

A detached, family home built in 2016 and offering highly versatile and spacious accommodation that is immaculately presented throughout and finished to a high standard. The house has been thoughtfully designed to provide well-balanced living spaces that work as well for every day life as they do when entertaining friends and family, with a seamless connection with surprisingly large garden. Arranged over three floors giving the flexibility any home needs to adapt as families grow, ultimately providing adult children and guests their own independent spaces whilst still having separate rooms for working from home or for creative hobbies.

The L-shaped entrance hall is warm and welcoming with plenty of space for key pieces of furniture as focal points and a useful storage cupboard can be found beneath the stairs. The sitting room is a lovely dual aspect room with the window to the front having bespoke cabinetry creating attractive display shelving and a window seat with hidden storage beneath, whilst to the other end, the double doors provide a fine view of the pretty garden. The kitchen/dining room is another dual-aspect room with double doors, from the dining area, leading out to the patio and a window by the kitchen sink giving you a view of the large side garden. The kitchen is fitted with a range of Alno handleless units and quartz work surfaces and upstands, incorporating a breakfast bar. Integrated appliances include: AEG induction hob, Bosch eye-level electric oven, Bosch combination microwave oven, wine cooler, Bosch fridge/freezer and Bosch dishwasher. This is a kitchen made for keen cooks and entertaining whilst the adjacent utility room provides useful additional storage as well as space for laundry appliances and a door to the garden. From the entrance hall, there is also a personal door into the garage and a cloakroom with WC and wash basin.

The master bedroom suite comprises a generous double room with door leading onto a balcony which is a sun trap from late morning through to the evening. There is a dressing area with a range of fitted wardrobes to either side and an en-suite bathroom with shower over the bath and useful storage beneath the basin. A second generous double room has windows to the front and rear, with fitted wardrobes leading to an en-suite bathroom, again with shower over the bath and vanity storage. There are two more modest sized rooms on this floor, which would both make excellent rooms for children and are currently arranged as two studies and these are served by the family bathroom. On the second floor, there are two further spacious double rooms with plenty of space for freestanding furniture and each has its own en-suite shower room. To complete this floor, there is a further room, currently used for storage but could happily be used as a study, with the airing cupboard to one end and Velux roof lights ensuring it is lovely and light.

The house is very energy efficient, being well insulated as such a recently built home, with an energy efficiency B rating. There is underfloor heating throughout the ground floor, with radiators in the bedrooms and heated towel rails in the bathrooms all powered by the gas central heating. With so many rooms enjoying a dual aspect, the house feels lovely and light and bright throughout and it is certainly a very comfortable and easy home to live in.

Outside, there is driveway parking for several cars, leading to the integral garage which is large enough to take a modern car whilst still leaving space for storage and has an electric door to the front. The gardens are surprisingly large and wrap around the rear and side of the house, with large patio leading on to a level lawn. From the sitting room and dining area, enjoy formal gardens with well-stocked beds filled with a wide variety of shrubs and perennials. Around the corner, the side garden has a large expanse of lawn and could be a great area for children to play or to create more raised beds for growing fruit and vegetables. There is a greenhouse for keen gardeners and a timber garden store for useful storage, with a line of attractive lollipop-style trees creating a lovely feature as well as creating privacy in your garden. Despite having other homes around you, the garden feels very peaceful and enjoys a good degree of privacy with sunshine throughout the day.

This really is a super home which adapts well to the different needs families have over the years and at times, has been a comfortable home for 7 adults without feeling crowded in any way. An internal viewing is strongly recommended to fully appreciate the space each room affords and the generous outside space which is so rare for such a modern and low maintenance home.

NB: Please note, there is an annual charge of £430 towards the upkeep of the beautiful communal grounds in the heart of this development.
