Description

This handsome 'Sussex barn-style' detached home occupies a tucked-away position within an private cul-de-sac of just 6 houses in the highly sought-after St James' area of Tunbridge Wells. Beautifully presented throughout, it offers over 1,800 sq ft of well-planned accommodation, a large level garden, and extensive off-road parking, including space for a large caravan or campervan. Several of the rear-facing rooms enjoy far-reaching views across Tunbridge Wells and beyond towards the North Downs

A welcoming entrance hall leads through to the heart of the home, where natural stone flooring extends across much of the ground floor, complemented by engineered oak flooring in the reception room. The standout feature is the impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and family room, measuring an excellent 25' x 22'11  with 3 large skylights set into vaulted ceilings. Designed with modern family living in mind, this bright and sociable space enjoys an abundance of natural light, with three sets of French doors opening directly onto the rear garden and creating a wonderful connection between inside and out.

The bespoke kitchen is fitted with solid oak worktops and a substantial central island with breakfast bar, providing a natural gathering point for family life and entertaining. The adjoining dining and family areas offer ample space for both everyday living and larger gatherings.

To the front of the property, the reception rooms enjoy a full front-to-back aspect, overlooking the large, sheltered front garden and opening onto the rear garden via French doors. These versatile spaces can be arranged to suit a variety of lifestyles, whether as formal sitting rooms, a playroom, home office or snug.

Practicality has been carefully considered throughout. There is a useful utility room, a ground floor cloakroom, a bespoke under-stairs study area, and a floor-to-ceiling fitted shoe cupboard.

A particularly generous fifth bedroom / home office is located on the ground floor complete with extensive fitted cupboards. This room also provides  access to the integral garage, which benefits from a utility sink.

The first floor comprises four bedrooms, including three comfortable doubles and a generous single bedroom. The principal bedroom enjoys a dual-aspect outlook, fitted double-depth, double door wardrobe and an en-suite shower room. A well-appointed family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms and includes a bespoke drying cupboard.

Outside, the property continues to impress. The landscaped front garden provides parking for four to five vehicles, together with a dedicated area capable of accommodating a caravan, campervan or similar vehicle, plus an integral garage ( ideally suited for conversion to residential accommodation). The rear garden is level, and ideal for family use, entertaining or simply relaxing outdoors and enjoys some elevated views.

The location is one of the property's greatest strengths. St James' Primary School is nearby, whilst the town's wide range of secondary schools, including the highly regarded grammar schools, are all within walking distance. The town centre, with its excellent selection of restaurants, cafés and shops, is less than a mile away, and both Tunbridge Wells and High Brooms stations are easily accessible on foot.

The beautiful open spaces of Tunbridge Wells Common, Dunorlan Park, Calverley Grounds and Grosvenor & Hilbert Park are all within comfortable walking distance, offering a wonderful balance of town and outdoor living.

The current owners are only the second custodians of the property, having enjoyed more than 22 years in this property, while the original owners remained for 21 years before them. This longevity speaks volumes about the quality of the home, its practical layout and the convenience of its location.

The property also benefits from an EPC rating of C, reflecting its relatively efficient running costs.
