This mid-20th-century semi-detached home offers a comfortable, low-hassle base in Tonbridge for those seeking a settled retirement location. The layout is traditional and practical: sitting room, separate dining room, conservatory, kitchen with utility, and three well-proportioned bedrooms upstairs. A large south-facing rear garden provides generous outdoor space and sunny outlooks in warmer months.
The house has been in one family for over 50 years and now requires modernisation. Interiors are dated and will benefit from updating; there is visible external paint peeling and some wall damage internally. Buyers should expect refurbishment work to bring kitchens, bathroom and finishes up to current standards — good scope to improve value and adapt the layout (STPP).
Location is a major strength: walking distance to favoured primary and secondary schools, the High Street and Tonbridge mainline station with trains to London in under 40 minutes. The property is chain-free and freehold, with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — practical for staying in touch or hosting visitors. EPC is to be confirmed and council tax is current at approximately £2,356.17 per year.
Overall this is a solid retirement or downsizing opportunity for someone wanting a spacious garden, scope to personalise, and convenient town-centre access. The combination of a large south garden and three bedrooms means the house can suit downsizers who still want guest space or a hobby room, provided they’re prepared to carry out refurbishment.
