Bishops Down Park Road, Tunbridge Wells, TN4

Occupying a marvellous position on this private road on the western side of Tunbridge Wells, the house has excellent proportions throughout with spacious and versatile accommodation.
The wide entrance hall has mellow wood flooring which flows through the ground floor with the double aspect family room to the left having a log-burner and French doors out to the terrace. This is a fabulous, relaxed space currently configured with a TV/snug area to the rear and plenty of space for a pool table, musical instruments or general play at the front. The double aspect kitchen/dining room on the right of the hallway has an island unit and pale shaker style cabinetry under granite worktops and has pretty outlooks to the garden and plenty of space for a dining table to the front. Double doors lead from here into the spacious sitting room, an elegant space, perfect for more formal entertaining.
On the first floor, there are five double bedrooms with the flexibility for either of the two largest rooms to be a principal suite. The double bedroom to the front has good fitted wardrobes and an en-suite shower room whereas the rear bedroom has excellent fitted wardrobes and currently has an en-suite dressing room which could easily be upgraded to a shower room. The remaining bedrooms are well-served by the family bathroom.

Outside

There is a wide gravel driveway and parking area to the front, well-screened by mature laurel hedging but it is the rear garden and outlooks which are the outstanding feature of the house. A paved terrace spans the rear of the house with a wide swathe of lawn and low stone retaining walls supporting established and colourful shrub borders.
Steps meander through the borders to the adjoining Bishops Down Pleasure Grounds, a stunning eleven acres of park-like gardens and grounds only accessible to residents and make up of walking paths, a central lake and pleasant lawns dotted with picnic benches.
