House for sale in Kingswood Road, Tunbridge Wells

Buckler’s Hard is a distinctive, architect-designed home created in 1972 for the former Mayor of Tunbridge Wells. Set within a generous plot approaching 0.4 of an acre, this light-filled property offers a rare opportunity to acquire a home of character and space with significant potential to adapt and refine to suit modern living.

The accommodation is currently arranged primarily over one level, providing an excellent foundation for buyers seeking lateral living, while also offering scope to reconfigure or enhance over time. The substantial undercroft, garaging and ancillary spaces present clear opportunities for further integration or development (subject to the necessary consents), allowing a purchaser to create a bespoke layout tailored to their needs.

At the heart of the house is an impressive sitting room with a vaulted wooden ceiling, delivering both volume and natural light, and creating a striking yet comfortable principal living space. The nearby kitchen is well-equipped, with walnut worktops, integrated appliances, a breakfast bar and a separate utility room, and connects directly to the dining room and adjoining study area: a layout that offers flexibility for reworking or opening up, if desired.

There are three bedrooms, alongside a garden room that can serve as additional bedroom space or a home office, and two bathrooms supporting the current arrangement. The overall design provides a series of adaptable spaces that can be reimagined to suit a variety of lifestyle requirements, whether for family occupation, downsizing with flexibility, or longer-term enhancement.

Externally, the house is approached via a gated driveway providing ample parking, leading to a carport and a large double garage with electric door. The adjoining storerooms offer extensive storage or further potential for conversion. The mature gardens are a particular feature, with established planting and a high degree of privacy, complemented by a summerhouse with power and additional outbuildings.

The setting combines a sense of seclusion with excellent convenience, being within easy reach of Tunbridge Wells town centre, the mainline station, and a range of well-regarded schools, including St James Primary School (2026/7 intake).
