Albion Road, Tunbridge Wells, TN1

Kings Estates are proud to offer this beautifully presented four-bedroom semi-detached period home, situated in the ever-popular St James’ area of Tunbridge Wells. Retaining original features such as picture rails, wooden floors, and fireplaces, the property has been tastefully modernised to include a stylish kitchen and a loft conversion, offering versatile and spacious accommodation set over three floors. With a generously sized garden for a town centre location, this family home blends classic character with contemporary living.

The welcoming entrance hall sets the tone with its wooden flooring and leads into the bay-fronted sitting room, which is flooded with natural light and enhanced by plantation shutters. To the rear, the separate dining room features a charming fireplace with hearth and surround, an alcove cupboard, and a rear aspect window overlooking the garden. The kitchen/dining room is the heart of the home—fitted with modern grey gloss units, Silestone worktops and matching upstands, and appliances including an oven, gas hob, extractor hood, and dishwasher. A stainless steel 1 & 1/2 bowl sink with mixer tap sits beneath a side window, while additional storage is provided by an understairs cupboard and a built-in pantry. The dining area offers space for a table and chairs, a Velux window for added light, and doors leading out to the rear garden.

On the first floor, the master bedroom enjoys a bay window with plantation shutters, a built-in wardrobe, and a feature fireplace. It also benefits from a stylish en-suite shower room with a drench head, hand attachment, pedestal wash hand basin with mixer tap and splashback, low-level WC, and a chrome heated ladder-style towel rail. Bedroom two offers a rear aspect view overlooking the garden. The family bathroom is finished to a high standard with a freestanding roll-top bath and drench shower over, a feature fireplace, pedestal wash hand basin with metro-tiled splashback, low-level WC, Victorian-style heated towel radiator, and a rear aspect frosted window.

Stairs rise to the second floor where two further bedrooms can be found. Bedroom three enjoys far-reaching rear aspect views over St John’s, while bedroom four benefits from two front aspect Velux windows. The landing provides access to large eaves storage, ideal for practical use.

Outside, the rear garden is a rare find for this central location—generously proportioned, mainly laid to lawn with raised sleeper flower beds, shrub borders, a gravel path, garden shed, and a raised decked seating area ideal for summer entertaining.

The home is ideally positioned for St James’ Primary School, Grosvenor and Hilbert Park, and is only 0.9 miles from both Tunbridge Wells and High Brooms train stations, making it ideal for commuters and families alike.
