Located towards the northerly side of central Tunbridge Wells, a detached 3 double bedroom, mid 19th century period property. There is an en-suite to the main bedroom, good sized lounge, contemporary bathroom and open plan kitchen/dining area with additional utility and private rear gardens.
Located on Quarry Road to the northerly side of central Tunbridge Wells and offering excellent access to both town and well regarded schools, an intriguing mid 19th century, three bedroom detached property. The house has undergone considerable improvements and developments in recent years and now includes an especially impressive and extended open plan kitchen/dining room to the rear opening directly onto pretty gardens, a separate contemporary styled utility room and further ground floor bathroom. The traditional lounge remains in place and, on the first floor, there are three double bedrooms of which the principal bedroom has an en-suite facility. The property is very well presented throughout and includes underfloor heating to the ground floor, good areas of lime engineered oak flooring, a most attractive contemporary kitchen and further very impressive bathroom, fitted carpets and thoughtful flourishes such as light wells and southerly facing windows to maximise brightness throughout. Another interesting feature of the property are the rear gardens. Pretty and well stocked, they abut much larger gardens and whilst one would expect to be heavily overlooked it is in fact impressively private given the central position of this house. A glance at the attached photographs and floorplan will give an indication as to the quality of the fixtures and fittings and also its unique detached layout.
