Stephens Road, Tunbridge Wells

GUIDE PRICE £880,000 - £900,000. Set within the sought-after St. Johns quarter of Tunbridge Wells, this elegant period home combines beautifully restored original features with a high-quality contemporary finish. Approached through a wrought iron gate and along a traditional tiled path, the property immediately showcases its timeless appeal with a covered entrance porch and original front door inset with stained glass.

The welcoming entrance hall sets the tone, with its solid wood flooring, corniced ceiling, picture rail, and generous understairs storage. To the front, the sitting room is a refined yet comfortable space, centred on an open fireplace with cast iron surround, tiled hearth, and log burner. A wide bay sash window fitted with plantation shutters ensures abundant natural light while preserving privacy.
At the heart of the home, the kitchen and dining room is a statement in both design and practicality. Bay and sash windows flood the room with light, while the solid wood flooring, plantation shutters, and detailed cornicing create an atmosphere of period grandeur. The bespoke cabinetry is complemented by quartz worktops, tiled splashbacks, and a comprehensive range of integrated appliances, including dual eye-level 'Neff' ovens, induction hob, extractor, and fridge/freezer. A practical boiler room provides further utility and storage space.
The first-floor galleried landing leads to three well-proportioned bedrooms, each with sash windows and plantation shutters, many with original fireplaces and bespoke storage. The family bathroom is finished to a high standard with a blend of modern and traditional design, featuring a freestanding vanity, walk-in shower with rainfall head, separate bath, and high-quality fittings.
The entire top floor is dedicated to a luxurious principal suite. This spacious retreat enjoys multiple sash windows, bespoke fitted wardrobes with automatic lighting, and a chic en-suite bathroom with CP Hart fixtures, walk-in rainfall shower, vanity, and heated towel rail. The retained cast iron fireplace adds a charming period detail.

The private westerly-facing rear garden is an ideal entertaining space, complete with two patio terraces, lawn, mature planting, and subtle remote lighting that enhances its evening appeal. A recently erected, outbuilding offers exceptional versatility, currently used as a gym but equally suitable as a home office or studio, with power and WiFi connected.

Perfectly positioned, the property enjoys the best of Tunbridge Wells living-an upmarket residential location within walking distance of highly regarded schools, green spaces, supermarkets, and the vibrant amenities of St. Johns Road. With excellent transport links including two nearby mainline stations, access to the A21, and the diverse shopping, dining, and cultural opportunities of Tunbridge Wells town centre just a mile away, this home offers a rare balance of period character, modern convenience, and a highly desirable address.
