Description

This link detached period house offers a blend of character and adaptability, and is situated in the sought-after St James area, with excellent schooling and local amenities all within easy reach. The property has been well-maintained by the current owners, who have enjoyed living in this spacious and characterful property for the past 50 years, and now equally presents an opportunity for further refurbishment to suit personal tastes.

The generous downstairs layout includes a large reception room, which currently serves as a sitting room to one section, and an office and family room to the other. This generous space could be easily divided back into two separate rooms if desired, resulting in a spacious entrance hall, large sitting room, and snug / study. A dine-in kitchen provides ample space for family meals, and flanked with bifold doors that overlook the private garden, is flooded with light throughout the day. Stairs to the upper level are situated at the far end of the room, which creates a connected feel with the first floor accommodation. Just along from the kitchen is a family snug, and also a convenient bedroom with adjacent bathroom, ideal for guests or multigenerational living. Indeed thanks to a separate access, this area could easily serve as an annexe if desired.

Upstairs, the property comprises four bedrooms, all of which are doubles and therefore provide ample space for a growing family. The largest bedroom benefits from its own en suite bathroom with shower, and the family bathroom has a bath with shower over. There is a very generous loft space, which is boarded and fitted with a ladder and so provides excellent storage facilities.

The house has a secluded and mature south-facing garden, offering private outdoor space for relaxation or entertaining. Off-road parking adds to the convenience, and with space for 3 cars is a valuable feature in this popular location.

The St James area is renowned for its close proximity to excellent local schools, including St James CEP school and the grammar schools for boys and girls. The town centre amenities, which include an extensive range of shops, restaurants, cafes and leisure facilities, make it a desirable choice for families. The property's potential for refurbishment allows new owners the opportunity to tailor the home to their specific needs while preserving its period charm.

When Deborah Richards founded Maddisons Residential in 2013 she wanted to build an estate agency based on truly exceptional service, proactive and honest advice and an utter passion to sell a client’s property for the best price, to the best buyer, in line with their timescales. She combined her many years of working in wealth management with renovating and selling numerous properties, to deliver the ultimate estate agency experience. Now, with an established team and a dominance in family properties in all core Tunbridge Wells’ postcodes, this aspiration has become a reality. Maddisons Residential receive over 90% of their business from client referrals, have been voted to be an “Exceptional Agent” in 2025 in the Best Estate Agency Guide, have countless 5 star ratings on Google and consistently exceed industry averages in terms of % of asking price achieved and time to secure a sale. They also have a fierce reputation for holding a deal together once an offer is received, with an envied fall through rate of just 7%. In 2017, Maddisons branched into lettings, where this overriding objective to deliver truly exceptional service continued. Many landlords cite that Maddisons are their “trusted advisor” on their investment property portfolio. Maddisons’ strapline that excellence is not a skillset, it’s an attitude, are words that they live and breathe by, and they cannot wait to show you how.
