Set well back in a quiet St. James pocket of Tunbridge Wells, this three-bedroom semi-detached cottage combines original character with a generous, private garden and versatile outbuilding. The house benefits from a sizeable driveway for three cars and an electric charging point — practical for a busy family. Indoors, an open-plan kitchen/diner with skylight and sliding doors provides easy flow to a large stone-paved patio for summer entertaining.
Accommodation is arranged over multiple levels and includes a ground-floor double bedroom with fitted wardrobes and an en-suite, a sitting room with a dual-facing wood burner, and two further double bedrooms upstairs. There are two bathrooms in total and a detached studio currently used as office/store/summerhouse that offers work-from-home flexibility or potential ancillary use (subject to permissions).
Buyers should note a few material points: the property is older (built before 1900) with solid brick walls that are assumed to lack cavity insulation, and much of the glazing predates 2002. There is mixed information about heating — the description references gas-fired central heating with underfloor heating, while records list wood as the main fuel and room heaters; prospective purchasers should verify heating systems and fuel sources. The area is classified as very affluent, but local crime levels are recorded as very high.
Overall this Freehold cottage sits on a very large plot in a sought-after town location, offering strong family appeal, substantial private outdoor space and adaptable ancillary accommodation. It will particularly suit buyers wanting period character, generous gardens and easy commuter access to Tunbridge Wells station; some targeted updating or insulation work would enhance long-term comfort and running costs.
