The property
Kings Estates are pleased to present this charming Victorian family home, tucked away in a peaceful no through road in the highly sought after St James area of Royal Tunbridge Wells. The location is ideal for families, with excellent access to well regarded primary and grammar schools, Grosvenor and Hilbert Park, and the vibrant Camden Road with its independent cafés, restaurants and shops all within easy reach.
The property has been thoughtfully refurbished throughout, blending period character with modern, practical living. The entire ground floor is finished in Mandarin Stone tiling, giving a high quality and cohesive feel as you move through the home. The open plan sitting and dining room sits at the front of the house and enjoys impressive high ceilings, a bay window and a solid fuel burning stove, creating a bright and elegant space with real character. The room flows naturally towards the rear, making it ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen continues the same thoughtful finish, fitted with shaker style cabinetry, breakfast bar, quartz worktops and tiled splashbacks, along with integrated appliances including oven with gas hob, fridge freezer and dishwasher. Dual aspect windows and a side door bring in excellent natural light, while a useful understairs cloakroom completes the ground floor.
Upstairs, the property offers three well proportioned bedrooms arranged off a central landing. The principal bedroom is positioned at the front with a bay window, high ceilings and fitted mirrored wardrobes, along with a modern ensuite shower room finished with full tiling, drench shower and chrome heated towel rail. Bedroom two and three are generous doubles, overlooking the garden.. A contemporary family shower room completes the first floor, featuring a modern shower, floating wash hand basin and a stylish patterned sash window. Externally, the west facing garden is designed for low maintenance living with artificial lawn, raised sleeper borders and gated rear access, creating a private and practical outdoor space. There is also clear potential for off road parking and a loft conversion, subject to the necessary consents, offering further scope to enhance the home.
THE LOCATION - ST JAMES
The property is located in the popular St. James’ area of Royal Tunbridge Wells. Tunbridge Wells is the only spa town in the Southeast of England, with elegant architecture and a variety of cultural, entertainment and shopping attractions, including the historic Pantiles, known for its charming Georgian colonnade, summer Jazz festivals, regular food and craft markets and Chalybeate Spring; there are two theatres locally, an abundance of cafés and restaurants and a mixture of national multiple retailers and independent shops.
Amenities: The house is located close to very good amenities in an enviable position in Tunbridge Wells, just 0.2 miles from Royal Victoria Place shopping centre. Royal Victoria Place features a 3 floor Fenwick’s department store, a 2 floor Marks and Spencer and around 110 other stores. For post retail shopping the centre contains over 20 different places to eat and drink and also in the local area is the pantiles, which offers traditional pubs to stylish restaurants including The Ivy. Throughout the year there are a number of events including the food festival, as well as Jazz on the Pantiles from May through to September.
Recreational Amenities: Grosvenor & Hilbert Park, Dunorlan and Grosvenor Parks, Calverley Grounds, the Assembly Hall Theatre, Nevill Golf Club and St Johns Sports Centre offer an abundance of leisure facilities.
State and Private Schools: There are many highly-regarded schools in the vicinity, including Skinners, TWGGS, TWGSB, Bennett Memorial Diocesan and St Gregory’s secondaries and the popular St James Primary School and Rose Hill and Holmewood House Preparatory Schools are also close by.
