Well-presented 3-bed period home in St James’, Tunbridge Wells, with rear and loft extensions. Features open-plan kitchen/dining/snug, lounge with wood burner, modern bathroom, master suite with en-suite, garden, and great access to town, schools, and parking.
Located on a peaceful and pleasant residential road in the St. James quarter of Tunbridge Wells, a well presented three bedroom period property which has been the beneficiary of two especially well considered extensions - both to the rear on the ground floor to create an open plan kitchen/dining and snug area and also to the upper floor with the addition of a most impressive master bedroom and en-suite facility. A glance at the attached photographs and floorplan will give an indication as to the flow of the house and the quality of the fixtures and fittings. We consider the property will lend itself particularly to those with a young family looking to make sure that children are in sight at all times or indeed anybody seeking ready access to town and well regarded schools but still requiring permit parking and a peaceful and upmarket locale. As currently arranged the property has a traditional lounge with inset wood burner, the aforementioned open plan kitchen/dining/snug area, two good sized bedrooms and a contemporary styled bathroom on the first floor and the master bedroom suite to the upper floor. Properties of this style and quality and in this location are traditionally popular and we encourage all interested parties to make an immediate appointment to view.
