Mount Sion, Tunbridge Wells, TN1

Tucked away in an enviably quiet, traffic-free position in the heart of Tunbridge Wells’ highly desirable ‘village area’, this beautifully renovated Victorian semi-detached house offers the perfect blend of period charm and modern living across three meticulously designed floors. Just moments from the mainline train station, The High Street, and The Pantiles, this home is ideally positioned for those seeking convenience, style, and character in one of the town’s most sought-after locations.

The property has been significantly upgraded by the current owners and offers generously proportioned, light-filled accommodation throughout. On the ground floor, you are welcomed by limed engineered oak flooring that runs through much of the space, adding warmth and character. The elegant sitting room enjoys a dual aspect, allowing light to flood in, and features a charming fireplace with bespoke shelving and a log-burning stove – perfect for cosy winter evenings. French doors lead directly out to a smartly decked rear garden, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor living experience ideal for entertaining.

Adjacent is the well-proportioned dining room, again bathed in natural light, with useful built-in storage under the stairs. To the rear, the show-stopping vaulted kitchen is a standout feature of this home – with conservation-style skylights, LED lighting, and a clean, contemporary finish. The kitchen is beautifully appointed with composite work surfaces, tiled splashbacks, and a full range of integrated appliances, including an induction hob, electric oven, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, and washer/dryer. It is a sociable and stylish space, perfect for both relaxed family dining and hosting guests.

On the first floor, the master bedroom is a calming, spacious retreat with a large sash-style window to the front and its own en-suite WC. The adjacent family bathroom is finished to an exceptional standard, boasting a freestanding bathtub, walk-in glass shower with drench head, a wall-hung WC, a washbasin, and a decorative Victorian-style fireplace surround. Underfloor heating and striking tiled floors complete the sense of luxury.

The second floor offers two further generously sized bedrooms, both benefiting from the addition of a recently constructed rear dormer. This not only increases the head height and floor space but also introduces even more natural light and far-reaching rooftop views. This floor offers flexible accommodation ideal for children, guests, or home office use.

Outside, the garden has been designed with ease of maintenance and lifestyle in mind. A sleek decked terrace creates a tranquil seating and entertaining area directly accessed from the sitting room. There is also a handy garden shed and, notably, a stylish garden studio/home office, which is heated and connected to the internet — perfect for remote working, creative projects, or a peaceful retreat away from the main house.

Additional features include double-glazed windows and gas central heating throughout, ensuring year-round comfort and energy efficiency. The property is offered to the market either furnished or unfurnished, giving tenants flexibility to make the home their own.

This truly is a rare opportunity to live in a character-filled, high-specification period home in a coveted central location. Whether you’re commuting to London, downsizing without compromise, or looking for a beautiful home in a friendly and well-connected community, this property delivers on every level.
