Large family home with character, garden and strong transport links.
Double-fronted Edwardian detached house with extensive period features
A rare, double-fronted Edwardian family home on a large private plot in sought-after Tunbridge Wells. The house combines period character — high ceilings, bay windows, cornicing and working fireplaces — with high-quality modern upgrades, including a vaulted farmhouse-style kitchen with island and integrated appliances. Spacious reception rooms, a separate study and generous bedroom suites make the layout flexible for family living and home working.
Practical benefits include two independent driveways with multiple off-street parking spaces, a separate garage and store, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. The secluded, mature garden with large patio and established borders provides a private outdoor setting for children and entertaining. The property sits around 0.7 miles from the town centre and mainline station, with a strong selection of primary and secondary schools nearby.
Considerations: the house is in an area with above-average crime and the council tax is described as quite expensive — both factors to weigh for household budgeting and insurance. While the owners have upgraded many areas to a high standard, the size and age of the property mean ongoing maintenance and potential further modernisation could be required over time.
This home will suit a family seeking generous, character-filled space close to town amenities and transport, who value a large garden and versatile living areas. It also appeals to buyers wanting a period property already substantially improved, but who accept the responsibilities of owning a large, older home in a high-value neighbourhood.
