This pretty semi-detached house sits on the popular Queens Road in the sought after St Johns quarter of Tunbridge Wells.
It has been beautifully styled and renovated by the current owners to deliver a family friendly contemporary style of living, whilst retaining its Victorian charm.
A smart painted exterior with a well-stocked flower bed to the front draws you up a pathway to the part glazed front door, neatly placed at the side.
On entering the house, the living room is immediately on your right. Its windows overlooking the street flood the space with light, and there is plenty of room for furniture and a fitted alcove cupboard for storage. Warm original wooden flooring and a fireplace with a pretty mantlepiece make it a very welcoming space.
At the rear is the fantastic kitchen/dining room which has been extended and fully refurbished to create a bright, social space as the heart of the home. The French doors open onto the garden terrace and can extend the living space into the garden in the warmer months.
The dimensions of the space cleverly define a dining area which has ample room for a dining table and chairs, fitted cabinetry and a cloakroom cupboard to keep the space clutter free.
The stylish and streamlined kitchen is well designed and brightened by a glazed rooflight. There is plenty of cabinetry which provide storage and house the integrated appliances, such as a Neff dishwasher, an oven, fridge/freezer and washing machine. Wooden countertops and a large Belfast sink offer great cooking facilities.
A modern bathroom with Fired Earth floor tiles and a shower over its bath completes the floor.
Climbing the stairs to the first floor, there are two double bedrooms, both with large windows drawing in lots of natural light and stretching the width of the house.
Bedroom one benefits from a fitted over stair cupboard.
The wonderfully private rear garden has a paved terrace next to the house for summer dining. There are wooden sleeper enclosed flower beds, an area of lawn and circular paved steps leading to the rear. Mature hedging and plants at the perimeters deliver privacy with additional wooden fencing making it fully enclosed.
The raised wooden clad garden studio is fronted by composite decking that stretches to the side giving access to the separate storage room. The heated studio itself has an aluminium window and glazed door that flood the space with light. It offers a great sanctuary as a home office, gym, or den for teenage children.
This fantastic home is a short walk from local shops, sought after schools and excellent transport links. A must see!
