Stephens Road, Tunbridge Wells, TN4

Material Information Disclosure -

This elegant Victorian semi-detached house is situated on the highly coveted Stephens Road, popular for its red brick Victorian architecture, family friendly community, and close proximity to excellent local schooling and amenities.  The current owners have completed an extensive renovation programme, and the result is an exquisite home, impeccably styled and with a family friendly layout of accommodation.  The garden is also a real delight, having been recently landscaped to a high standard and now providing areas of terrace, bedding and a stylish garden room, perfect for home working, a studio or teenage den.

The hallway has been thoughtfully decorated and is a welcoming space with its period style tiled floor and useful storage beneath the stairs. The sitting room to the right features a bay window to the front and an original working fireplace, with gas pipes capped to the side if a gas fire was preferred.  Adjacent is the kitchen, a highly practical and beautiful space with bespoke Rencraft cabinetry, quartz worktops and quality integrated appliances, such as a Miele oven, Miele 4 ring induction hob, Siemans dishwasher and Quooker boiling water tap. An original larder cupboard provides invaluable additional storage, and the house also has the benefit of a utility area to the side, with space for a washing machine and dryer.  Beyond is a well appointed WC, and the kitchen also has convenient side access to the rear garden.

To the rear of the house is the dining room.  This charming room features a further bay window with fitted window seating overlooking the garden.  Many houses in the road have knocked through to join this room to the kitchen, and subject to necessary consents, this would be very achievable here also, if desired.

Upstairs, there are four good sized bedrooms arranged over two floors, with the master bedroom in the top floor loft conversion. This fabulous space has excellent ceiling height thanks to the large dormer that was created as part of the conversion, and which also provides far reaching roof-top views over the surrounding town and countryside beyond. The bathroom that this house enjoys is set to one end, divided with attractive oak sliding doors, and features a generous shower.  Storage is also well catered for in this room, with bespoke fitted wardrobes and ample eaves storage space also.   

On the first floor, the main bedroom is to the front and is a fabulous generous double room with bay window and original feature ceiling rose and fireplace.  Inbuilt wardrobes have been fitted to either side of the fireplace. There are two further bedrooms on this floor, one of which serves as a home office with bespoke fitted desk, shelving and cupboards. The bathroom on this floor is stylishly and practically arranged with a separate bath and shower cubicle.

Outside, there is a courtyard garden to the front with side gate to the generous side return, perfect for external storage.  The rear garden is a delight, having been recently landscaped to create a stylish and low-maintenance garden and featuring some ornamental trees which provide a level of seclusion that is unusual for the road. There is a raised terrace immediately outside the dining room, fitted with a sail for relief from the sun in the warmer months.  Steps then lead down to the lower area, arranged with mature borders and a path that leads to the garden studio.  This useful space is again both beautiful and practical, with crittal aluminium doors, balau tropical hardwood cladding, a sedum roof, interior tongue and groove, underfloor heating and full fibre broadband.  It is currently used as a home office, but could certainly provide for a variety of needs such as home studio or teenage den. To the side is a useful outside storage space, perfect for bikes and garden implements.
