This substantial five-double-bedroom Victorian semi sits on a favoured tree-lined road in South Tonbridge, just yards from top grammar and primary schools. With over 2,000 sq ft across three floors, the house delivers generous room proportions, high ceilings and period detail that will suit a growing family seeking space and charm.
The ground floor offers a large sitting room with bay window and fireplace, a kitchen/breakfast room over 16ft, utility, cloakroom and a family room opening onto a generous rear garden and patio. Outside there is off-street parking on the driveway. The location is highly convenient for the town centre, mainline station and outstanding local secondary schools — ideal for commuters and school-focused buyers.
The property is offered chain free and presents a clear opportunity to personalise and modernise. Some updates are likely: the house dates from circa 1900–1929, the external walls are solid brick (insulation assumed absent), glazing installation dates are unknown and the layout has only two bathrooms for five double bedrooms. Council tax is described as expensive.
Practical considerations include a higher local crime rate flagged for the area and the likely need for fabric and mechanical updates if buyers want modern energy performance. For families wanting substantial living space, close school access and period character, this house offers strong long-term potential once updated to contemporary standards.
