A beautifully individual period cottage with exceptional character, a secluded walled garden, flexible accommodation and a self-contained annexe, close to Tunbridge Wells town centre.
A wonderfully individual period home offering a lovely combination of character, privacy and flexibility. Set within a mature walled garden in a highly convenient position, this much-loved home has been cherished by the same family for over 30 years and offers excellent scope to suit the needs of its next owner.
Rich in period features and architectural interest, the property combines attractive period proportions with a series of wonderfully individual spaces. The accommodation has a distinctive arrangement with different levels and a layout that reflects the character and history of the property. It is not a conventional modern floorplan, but instead offers a series of interesting and versatile spaces which will particularly appeal to buyers looking for a home with individuality and charm.
The Living Accommodation
The heart of this home is the beautifully appointed kitchen/dining room, where an attractive vaulted ceiling creates an impressive sense of volume and character. With excellent storage, generous worktop space and plenty of room for a large dining table, it is a welcoming space designed for both everyday living and entertaining.
From here, a further reception room opens into the generous rear conservatory, creating a wonderful sequence of connected living spaces overlooking the garden. Filled with natural light and enjoying a lovely outlook, the conservatory is wonderfully versatile, equally suited to relaxed family time, entertaining, dining or as a playroom.
A separate reception room to the front of the property provides yet another inviting space, while the dedicated home office is ideal for modern working life.
What makes the ground floor particularly appealing is its individuality and flexibility, with a collection of well-proportioned spaces that can be arranged around the way you live, whether that means entertaining, working from home, welcoming guests or simply enjoying the character and charm of this very special cottage.
Bedrooms and Bathrooms
This home offers four well-proportioned double bedrooms, with one conveniently positioned on the ground floor alongside a shower room, a flexible arrangement for guests, family members or those looking for easily accessible bedroom accommodation.
Three further double bedrooms are arranged across the first floor, accompanied by the family bathroom and a separate WC. The first floor is wonderfully individual, with its varying levels and distinctive configuration adding to the character and charm of the cottage. The rear bedrooms enjoy lovely views towards Nevil Park, while useful storage is tucked away within the eaves and part-boarded loft.
Far from being a conventional layout, the bedroom accommodation is full of character and offers a flexibility that will appeal to those looking for something genuinely different — a home with personality, rather than a standard modern floorplan.
Garden and External Space
The beautifully secluded walled garden is undoubtedly one of the highlights of this home. Mature planting and established greenery create a wonderfully private setting, with areas of lawn and paving providing plenty of space for relaxing, entertaining and enjoying the garden throughout the seasons. The original brick wall adds further character and gives the garden a lovely sense of enclosure. The outdoor space has been repeatedly admired by viewers and provides a particularly special setting for a period cottage of this nature.
The garden also houses a self-contained one-bedroom annexe, providing valuable additional accommodation away from the main house. With its own kitchenette, living space, bathroom and mezzanine bedroom, the annexe could work particularly well for guests, extended family or those requiring an independent space. A useful workshop/store provides further practical space.
The property also benefits from generous driveway parking and a covered car port, which is a particularly useful feature for a character home in such a convenient location.
