Cumberland Walk, Tunbridge Wells

GUIDE PRICE £725,000 - £750,000. Being offered with no onward chain and tucked away in one of Royal Tunbridge Wells’ most exclusive and peaceful settings, this exceptional three-bedroom Georgian maisonette occupies the entrance and lower ground floor levels of a substantial period villa, discreetly accessed via the charming Cumberland Walk passageway. A true hidden gem in the heart of the town, it offers a rare sense of quiet seclusion and tranquility, yet lies just moments from the vibrant High Street, the iconic Pantiles, the station and the Nevill cricket and tennis club. It is a home that feels wonderfully private and almost undiscovered, offering the best of both worlds between central convenience and serene surroundings.

The maisonette itself is rich in character and charm, with a superb open-plan kitchen flowing into a spacious living area featuring a period-style fireplace and large bay window, which in turn opens into an Orangery currently used as the dining room. Bi-folding doors lead out to the beautifully landscaped private garden, designed with three Yorkstone terraces to enjoy the sun throughout the day, while an insulated wooden summerhouse provides ideal space for a studio or home office, in addition there is a further separate office within the building allowing couples to work remotely. Further benefits include plantation shutters, exposed floorboards, oak flooring, fitted carpets, gas central heating and an allocated parking space. A stylish and unique family home in an unrivalled tucked-away setting, it should be viewed without delay.
