Guide Price £1,595,000
Substantial six-bedroom Victorian house extending to over 3,000 sq ft, exquisitely presented and centrally located in Tunbridge Wells, with landscaped garden, two garden studios, off street parking and excellent transport links and local schooling options.
Accommodation
This impressive Victorian home has been carefully re‑imagined to provide over 3,000 sq. ft. of well-balanced accommodation arranged across three floors. Original architectural features sit comfortably alongside bold contemporary updates, while the layout offers excellent flexibility for modern family life. Particularly notable is the connection to the landscaped rear garden and the inclusion of two well‑appointed garden studios, rarely found in such a central location.
The Living Accommodation
The front entrance is approached via limestone steps and opens through an original glazed front door with stained glass detailing. The wide hallway leads through to the generous dining area and kitchen, both set to the rear of the house and featuring an original working fireplace and ornate ceiling cornicing. Full-width aluminium-framed bi-fold doors open directly onto the garden, creating a strong visual connection between the interior and the carefully landscaped outdoor spaces beyond.
The kitchen is situated to the side, and is fitted with bespoke Kutchenhaus cabinetry, complemented by bold Corian work surfaces. Appliances include AEG double electric ovens, induction hob, two integrated dishwashers, an integrated fridge-freezer and a separate wine fridge. A floor hatch provides access to a full-height cellar. There is a door to the rear providing convenient access to the generous side return of the house.
A snug sits to the middle of the property, centred around a working fireplace with an original terracotta marble surround. This room connects via two double doors either side of the fireplace to a larger sitting room with a south-facing bay window and a second feature fireplace. Both rooms feature original exposed floorboards and large sash windows, ensuring that each space is light and bright.
Bedrooms and Bathrooms
The bedroom accommodation in this house is particularly strong. The two upper floors provide six double bedrooms and a separate study. The principal bedroom benefits from excellent natural light and incorporates an en suite bathroom with freestanding bath, walk-in shower and Burlington fittings. Two further double bedrooms are located on the first floor, along with a combined shower and utility room finished in red metro tiles.
The second floor comprises three additional double bedrooms and a further bathroom/shower room with a clean, monochrome finish.
The house and garden studios are fitted with Hive thermostatic heating controls and Hue smart lighting throughout.
Gardens and External Space
The rear garden is a particular highlight, thoughtfully arranged over multiple levels and terraces. The central lawned area features an attractive pond, forming a natural focal point and enhancing the sense of tranquillity. A second pond is positioned at the lower level of the garden, adjacent to the main garden studio, further enriching the landscaped setting. The garden also incorporates a variety of established fruit trees, including plum, medlar, quince, fig and banana.
Two detached garden studios add considerable flexibility. The primary studio is located at the lower level of the garden, close to the pond, and includes an entrance hall, bathroom facilities, air conditioning and gated side access, making it suitable for a range of uses, particularly as it benefits from planning permission for use as business premises if desired. There are two separate spaces, with the main portion being a generous room with bi-fold doors overlooking the garden, and a further smaller office set to the other side. The studio is well positioned to ensure it does not overlook the main house.
A second cedar-clad studio is positioned at the upper level of the garden and is fitted with a kitchen and WiFi connectivity. The deck outside beautifully incorporates a hot tub, which is available under separate negotiation.
Additional outbuildings include a workshop, garden shed, wood store and bike storage. Off-street parking is available for up to five vehicles on a private gravel driveway.
