Detached house for sale in Valley View, Tunbridge Wells TN4

This family home, which was built in 1968 stands in a substantial plot in a quiet cul de sac which circles a large green, and as is so typical of this period, is an extremely light and spacious house, with large picture windows, generous room sizes and a family friendly flow of accommodation. The current owners have dramatically improved the property during their ownership, and accordingly it is presented in first class, contemporary condition. The generous internal accommodation embraces open plan living, yet having part walls and pillars to create a sense of separation when needed.

The welcoming hallway on the ground floor leads to the open plan kitchen, with the dining area flooded with light thanks to the two large picture windows that encase it. To the right is the separate casual seating area, with French doors to the garden, further windows and a useful storage cupboard. There is also a separate utility room, with further storage and plumbing for a washing machine and dryer.

The kitchen itself features a range of bespoke Pronorm wall and base units in a sleek matt white, with grey stone worktops. Quality integrated appliances are included in the sale and include a fitted fridge / freezer, dishwasher, electric oven and gas hob. The island has breakfast bar seating.

To the left is the separate sitting room, with windows again on two elevations and French doors to the garden. An open fire creates a lovely focal point. A downstairs WC completes the ground floor accommodation.

Upstairs there are 4 double bedrooms and two bathrooms, the second and largest of which is situated next to the master bedroom, which also has a generous dressing area. The landing and three of the bedrooms give far-reaching views over the countryside beyond.
