Offered as top of chain, a four/five bedroom semi detached property on Stephens Road in the St. Johns quarter of Tunbridge Wells. The property would benefit from modernisation and refurbishment in certain areas and we consider it ripe for extension and development, subject to the necessary permissions being available. As currently arranged the property has a principal lounge to the ground floor with a further wc/shower room and bedroom (formerly the property's dining room) and a good sized kitchen/breakfast room to the rear. There are three bedrooms on the first floor with a further shower room and a further double bedroom in the second floor attic room. Externally, the property has attractive period features in the form of a quarry tiled path leading to the front of the house and a good sized and quite private rear garden to the rear. Properties on this prestigious road traditionally generate great interest. We consider this property particularly worthy of an early viewing given its huge potential and competitive price.
