Somerset Road, Tunbridge Wells

GUIDE PRICE £650,000 - £675,000. Located in the St. Johns quarter of Tunbridge Wells and offering excellent access to local facilities and schools, a four bedroom Victorian semi detached period property. The current owners have undertaken an impressive improvement programme in recent years, but we consider that, subject to the necessary permissions being obtainable, there is excellent scope for further development - most specifically in the kitchen and dining room areas. Work undertaken has included external repairs, extensive rewiring, the re-modelling and extension of the bathrooms, new carpets and numerous energy efficiency measures. The bedrooms are arranged over the upper two floors with an en-suite facility to the master. The area enjoys a lovely sense of community, no parking restrictions and proximity not only to well regarded schools like St. Johns and Skinners but also to St. Johns Park and the recently refurbished Grosvenor and Hilbert Park - a real treasure. We consider the house to be both an excellent opportunity for any buyer but also a most pleasant space with a lovely 'feel'. To this end, we would encourage all parties to make an early request to view.
