Rare 1850s cottage on 1.2 acres, extended to offer four bedrooms and generous living space. Features fireplaces, study, large kitchen, circular driveway, double garage and valley views. Semi-rural setting near Tunbridge Wells. Exceptional potential. No onward chain.
An extremely rare opportunity to acquire an 1850s built cottage which has been substantially extended to the side to provide the property with four well proportioned bedrooms and generous living space, including two reception rooms with open fireplaces, separate study and a large kitchen/breakfast room. The property is approached through double gates which lead to a circular driveway providing off road parking for numerous vehicles, which in turn leads to a large detached double garage and pathway to the cottage. The 1.2 acre plot gently slopes away from the rear of the cottage providing views across the valley with mature gardens leading down to a small stream, with the overall plot lending itself to numerous uses including the creation of paddocks or perhaps the potential for development subject to obtaining the necessary consents and permissions. The property is located on the South Eastern outskirts of Royal Tunbridge Wells benefiting from the feeling of being in a semi rural setting yet only a few minutes drive from a busy Spa Town with all the amenities it has to offer as well as being conveniently located for a selection of well regarded schools catering for all age groups. The property is being offered with the benefit of full vacant possession and in view of the rare availability of such a property with so much potential to offer, we have no hesitation in recommending an early appointment to view.
