Offered to the market for the first time in 23 years and affording lovely views across Grosvenor & Hilbert Park immediately opposite a 3 bedroom semi detached period property with a number of period features and southerly facing rear gardens.
Coming to the market for the first time in 23 years and unexpectedly re-available , a most impressive three bedroom semi detached Victorian home in a peaceful and pleasant spot in the St. James quarter of Tunbridge Wells. Of particular interest is the property's beautiful location - it immediately faces the recently refurbished Grosvenor & Hilbert Park, just across the road and benefits tremendously from the light and space the view affords. It also enjoys southerly facing rear gardens. The property retains a number of period features and offers scope for further gentle improvement, as is necessary. As currently arranged, the property has a principal entrance hallway and separate lounge and dining rooms. There is a kitchen to the rear with a small external outbuilding and the aforementioned southerly facing gardens. On the first floor are three bedrooms, of which two are a particularly good size - the larger affords further pleasing views over Grosvenor & Hilbert Park. There is also a family bathroom to the first floor. Properties of this style (and particularly in this unusual location) will generate immediate interest - to this end, we would encourage all interested parties to move quickly and contact Wood & Pilcher at their earliest convenience.
