Frant Road, Tunbridge Wells, Kent, TN2

An impressive, stylish and substantial family house on the south side of town, offering generous proportions, together with an attractive mature garden.

Description

Originally built in the 1920’s, this grand family house has historically been skilfully divided to create two dwellings, with Rumbers Hill House forming the major portion, and retaining the main drive and turning circle, along with many of the original, key rooms.

Features include the wide arched reception hall, which runs through the house, with reception rooms leading off on each side, two with fireplaces, and one of these fitted with a wood burning stove. Also, there is a large, elegant, modern style kitchen/breakfast room, with French doors and windows to the rear garden. This includes a four oven gas Aga with side module, incorporating two electric ovens and a gas hob. This room enjoys high ceilings along with the others, and leads through to an intimate, lower ceilinged dining room, linked by an open plan conservatory, overlooking the rear garden.

Upstairs features a wide first floor landing to three bedrooms and a dressing room/fourth bedroom. These are served by a generous family bathroom and an en suite to the principal bedroom, and there is also a further wet room shower as well.

On the top floor, there is a further bedroom suite of two rooms and a bathroom, which is reached through a family room, which benefits from a front to back double aspect, including French doors to a roof terrace at the front.

The attractive rear garden is predominantly level lawn, with mature trees and hedging to the boundaries and immediately beyond the rear patio, there are brick pathways and pergola, designed with box planting and an acer tree, creating a feature garden onto the lawn.

Gated private drive with turning circle and extensive parking.
