Stephens Road, Tunbridge Wells

GUIDE PRICE £900,000 - £925,000. Located on one of the premier roads in the St. Johns quarter of Tunbridge Wells and ripe for further extension and development subject to the necessary permissions being obtainable, a three reception, four bedroom detached period property. The house retains a number of period features, good room sizes and a particularly attractive southerly facing rear garden with a lovely ambiance - backing as it does onto large neighbouring properties gardens. In this respect one could easily imagine oneself in a far more rural location than the St. Johns quarter of town. Pleasingly, the master bedroom enjoys the same view and feel from its private balcony.

The house has a large and high loft room, currently unconverted.

A glance at the attached photographs and floorplan will give an indication as to the flow and quality of this proposition and we encourage all parties to make an immediate appointment to view.

SITUATION: The property is well located in the St. Johns quarter of Tunbridge Wells.

Tunbridge Wells town centre is broadly 1 mile distant with its wide range of primarily multiple retailers at the Royal Victoria Place shopping precinct and adjacent Calverley Road with further offerings at the North Farm Retail Park. The town itself is defined by many of the independent retailers, restaurants and facilities between the Pantiles and Mount Pleasant as well as on nearby Camden Road. The town has a good number of respected schools at all levels, two mainline railway stations, access to the A21 trunk road, as well as a number of active sports and social clubs and two theatres.
