Tucked away in a quiet cul-de-sac less than a mile from Tunbridge Wells station, this 1960s detached house sits on a generous corner plot with a double garage and wide driveway. The house offers practical family accommodation across two floors: a bright sitting room with garden views, separate dining room, kitchen/breakfast room, study (or occasional fifth bedroom), four well-proportioned bedrooms, a family bathroom and a separate WC. Large windows and recent double glazing help flood the rooms with natural light.
Lovingly maintained but ready for updating, the property presents clear scope to extend to the side or rear (subject to planning consent) — an attractive prospect for growing families wanting more living space. The mature, walled rear garden is mainly laid to lawn and bordered by established planting, providing privacy and a peaceful outdoor retreat.
Practical features include electric underfloor heating, fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and freehold tenure. Note the house was built in the 1960s and will benefit from some modernisation; the main heating fuel is electricity which can be costlier than gas. Council tax is described as quite expensive, and the area records a very high local crime metric, which some buyers will want to investigate further.
Overall this is a rare Tunbridge Wells family home on an above-average plot offering commuting convenience, extension potential and a private garden — suited to families seeking space and the opportunity to modernise in a desirable part of town.
