Camden Park, Tunbridge Wells, Kent, TN2

Tucked away on the edge of the town centre, a well presented detached family house with the option to further enlarge.

Description

Well placed on the edge of the town centre, in a tucked away location, this is a well presented detached family house, originally converted from a coach house serving one of the Victorian houses in the park and then later extended. The property is now a good size four bedroom house, but it can be further increased in size if needed, as a planning permission for a significant addition has recently been obtained - TW26/00335/FULL.

The ground floor reception space is excellent, with a large main sitting room and an open plan kitchen/dinner, with both rooms accessing the rear terrace and garden. There is also a good size family room off the kitchen/diner and a smaller hobbies room or study, with a utility room and cloakroom off from here.

The kitchen is fitted on two sides with an island breakfast bar, with appliances by AEG and a free standing Fisher & Paykel fridge freezer. The tiled flooring continues through to the dining area, which is fitted with a modern wood burning stove.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom has fitted wardrobes and a good size full bathroom, with a separate walk in shower. The other bedrooms are all doubles, and two have fitted wardrobes, all served by a shower room.

Outside, there is a sizeable front garden with hedging to the neighbour and a driveway running down the side, with parking and an electric car charger point (potential here for a garage or car port).

The rear garden is very secluded, with mature planting and trees, including a single Palm tree, laid to lawn and with generous terracing across the back of the house.

Gated access to a twitton path leading down to Claremont School and then on into the southern part of the town.
