This substantial detached home on Claremont Road offers nearly 4,700 sq ft of adaptable family living across multiple levels. The ground floor centres on a dramatic entrance hall, a formal sitting room with fireplace, and a large open-plan kitchen/dining area with Crittall and bi-fold doors that open onto a south-facing landscaped garden. A separate two-bedroom self-contained annexe and generous outbuilding add flexible living or rental potential.
The principal suite occupies the first floor with a dressing room and luxurious en suite; two further en suite bedrooms are also on this level. The second floor provides an additional bedroom, family bathroom and a vaulted, light-filled office with excellent garden outlook. Lower ground accommodation offers storage and further living space, while a spiral staircase and mezzanine introduce distinctive architectural interest.
Practical strengths include extensive off-street parking (front and rear access), fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, proximity to the mainline station (approximately 0.3 miles) and strong local schools. The property is freehold overall, but note a small leasehold title where part of the garden adjoins Farmcombe Lane above the railway.
Buyers should be aware of material negatives: the local area records higher-than-average crime levels and the property is in an expensive council tax band. The rail line runs below the small leasehold garden strip, which may affect some uses of that area. Otherwise the home is presented to a high standard and suits buyers seeking a large, executive family house with annexe/rental potential near Tunbridge Wells town centre.
