An archway opens into the dining room, which also offers a study space ideal for today’s working from home requirements. There is a separate wc situated off the hallway, completing the ground floor accommodation.

Upstairs, the spacious principal bedroom enjoys a balcony, together with a stylish en suite bathroom, with porcelain tiles, underfloor heating, a Duravit bath and separate shower, sink basin and striking Arte fittings. The second bedroom also boasts a stylish en suite shower room.

Other features include new timber windows throughout, Worcester Bosch boiler, antique brass electrical switches, bespoke Corian vanity units, Smart Control central heating system and Ring doorbell system.

The location of these properties is most impressive, conveniently located in this sought-after private park, with scenic footpaths via Cabbage Stalk Lane and the Common onto central Tunbridge Wells.
