House for sale in St. Marks Road, Tunbridge Wells

Set on the edge of the Whinlatter Estate on the south side of Tunbridge Wells, this charming detached family home dates from the 1920s and is coming to the market for the first time in over 30 years. Retaining a wealth of original features, the property has a wonderful sense of character and individuality, whilst presenting an increasingly rare opportunity to modernise and create a home tailored entirely to your own requirements.

The property has two entrances, with the formal front entrance approached through iron gates on the Whinlatter Estate, and the more frequently used entrance accessed via the private driveway and opening directly into the spacious kitchen. Well proportioned, the kitchen provides ample cabinetry, space for utilities and a particularly striking marble and stone archway which defines an informal dining or breakfast area.

Adjacent is the light-filled living room, where a bay window creates an appealing sense of space. A fireplace forms the focal point, complemented by built-in cabinetry either side, whilst French doors open directly onto the south-facing garden.

A further dual-aspect reception room enjoys lovely views across the gardens and is currently arranged as a formal dining room. Its versatile proportions lend themselves equally well to use as a family room, playroom, study or additional sitting room, depending on the needs of the next owner. Completely the ground floor is a conveniently located shower room.

Upstairs, the property hosts three bedrooms, including two well proportioned doubles overlooking the gardens, with the principal bedroom being particularly spacious. The third bedroom is currently arranged as a home office, but would make an equally appealing child's or guest bedroom.

Practicality is well catered for, with excellent storage throughout, including a large loft, useful under-stair storage and a substantial shed on the driveway.

Outside, the large south-facing garden is predominantly laid to lawn and bordered by mature trees and established hedging, creating a wonderful feeling of privacy and seclusion.
