Birling Road, Tunbridge Wells, Kent

This three storey detached Edwardian family home on the corner of Birling Road and Highgrove is impressive with its high chimney stacks, varied roof lines, multi-pane sash and bay windows. An opening from Highgrove leads to the main entrance door while vehicular access is via a block paved driveway in Birling Road, bordered by clipped hedging and a lawn. There is a detached pitched roof double garage and a rear door that opens into the large, light and bright kitchen/breakfast room with wood units housing Bosch appliances and an adjacent utility room with washing facilities.

There is a dual aspect study, a cloakroom and an elegant lounge that features a coved ceiling, picture rails, a stunning bay window and a cast iron fireplace with a sculptured surround and a functioning fire. The equally attractive dual aspect dining room also has period features and a cast iron open fire. On the first floor there is a cloakroom, an airing cupboard and two family bathrooms as well as four double bedrooms with picture rails and delightful views including one with dual aspect and the spacious master with fitted wardrobes. On the second floor there are three further bedrooms including one with a dressing room and fireplace.

The double garage has a large boarded loft for storage but could always be converted into additional accommodation and there is an outside toilet and a large rear lawn surrounded by mature trees and shrubs borders.

What the Owner says:

We have lived in this lovely house for the past thirty years and it has been a wonderful home to bring up our family. However they have all flown the nest and it is time for us to downsize. However we enjoy the area and will hope to stay locally as we have always felt the location was ideal. We initially fell in love with this house and its delightful features including the impressive bay windows that allow the early morning sunshine to stream through to the lounge and dining room. Not only is it easy to get into the centre of town or go for a country walk but it is also near good schools. We are also on a bus route and there are two pubs nearby as well as the Neville Golf Club and Tunbridge Wells Rugby and Cricket clubs.
During our time here we have installed new HIVE controlled central heating on the ground and first floors with a separate HIVE system on the top floor so, if you are not using the upper floor, it can be turned off. We had the double garage built with the idea that the upstairs could be further developed as required as well as replastering and redecorated and replacing period features to bring the property back to its former glory.
Tunbridge Wells or, more formally Royal Tunbridge Wells, became a famous spa town in Regency times when it was frequented by the aristocracy who came to take the waters and enjoy the entertainment organised by Beau Nash. Much of this historic town was developed during that time including the famous Pantiles that now offers a deli
