Eden Road, Tunbridge Wells, Kent, TN1

A fine early Victorian townhouse, in this prestigious private road, tucked away in the delightful old village area

Description

This handsome, unlisted period townhouse dates approximately from the mid 1800s and is superbly tucked away in this prestigious private road, so conveniently placed for the many varied, attractive amenities of the southern town centre.

The fine proportions stand out on the two principal floors, complemented by an abundance of period features, including fireplaces, ceiling coving, large sash windows, including bays to the front, and a combination of oak strip and parquet flooring to key areas.

The layout is also perfect, with a good size, open-plan kitchen/breakfast family space, drawing room and also a dining room/study. The principal bedroom is also special, enjoying a large en-suite bathroom with central bath and separate shower. Also, the bedroom benefits from the very pleasant townscape view.

The lower ground floor is fully linked to the house, but can also serves as an independent secondary accommodation, with its own kitchen and bathroom.

Outside the gardens are simple to maintain but incorporate good entertaining spaces, especially the rear, walled courtyard.

The parking outside is on the road. The road is private and unadopted. The residents manage the road themselves and historically, they have parked on the road outside their own property.

The owners are able to access the rear garden from the neighbouring owner's land, through the gate immediately next door, exercising right of way.
