5 bed detached house for sale

Pembury Road, Tunbridge Wells (No Chain) TN2

This fantastic house, owned by the same family for nearly three decades, is a short walk from beautiful parkland, sought after schools, excellent transport links and the bustling town centre.

It is screened from the road by mature trees and fencing with double gates opening onto a driveway providing parking for several cars and edged by a mix of garden terracing and planting.

The driveway winds along the side of the house to the rear where there is access into the attached garage.

The main part of the house has period charm dating from the 1880s with a rear substantial two storey addition having been added by the sellers during their ownership.

The newer part of the property, although connected to the main part on the ground level, can be accessed via a private entrance door to the side. With generous living and sleeping accommodation on two floors it is a very versatile space that can either be used for elderly family, visiting guests, a rental opportunity or alternatively can be reconfigured to afford you more rooms in the main house.

At the front of the house, the covered entrance door welcomes you into the hallway with tiled flooring and two fitted cupboards, one a deep walk in cupboard, to keep the space clutter free.

On the right is the spacious living room brightened by triple aspect light. It is an elegant room with a front bay window, wooden flooring, and French doors opening into the garden. There is plenty of room for family living and entertaining and a wood burning stove adds character and warmth in the colder months.

Returning to the hallway and to the rear is the kitchen/breakfast room. It delivers wonderful cooking facilities with plenty of cabinets providing ample storage space, and integrated appliances including an oven, grill and gas hob. There is room for a table and chairs, a door opens into the garden, and a set of stairs rises to the first floor and the main house's three bedrooms, two of which are double bedrooms, and a family bathroom with a shower over its bath.

Behind the kitchen is the separate utility room with another sink, perfect for muddy boots and paws, additional storage cupboards and space and plumbing for appliances.

A shower room next door has guest cloakroom facilities too.

At the rear is the spacious family/dining room with French doors that lead out into the garden. It is a social space, perfect as an informal reception room and/or a dining room, given its proximity to the kitchen.

The lobby behind has a door that opens into the garage side of the garden, an under stairs storage cupboard and stairs taking you up to two double bedrooms and an en-suite shower room.

Outside at the rear there is a block brick pathway which winds around the house, connecting other garden areas and the front driveway for street access. There are a number of terraces for seating and summer dining and a raised area of planting to the side could be lawned. Mature trees offer privacy and the garden is fully enclosed by fencing and gates, making it a safe sanctuary for pets and children.

The garage offers great storage space but it also has the potential to adapt it to more useable internal space, such as a second home office or a kitchen for the rear part of the house.

This fantastic house is in an enviable location. It is also a dream project to create your own vision and add value in the future. A must see!
