Situated on the favoured south side of Tunbridge Wells, this spacious detached family home beautifully marries the elegance of its early Edwardian origins, with subtle Art Nouveau influences, and the comforts of modern living. Set back from the road, the property is enveloped by mature trees and attractive hedging, ensuring a high degree of privacy and seclusion despite its town-centre location. Its elevated position offers a pleasant outlook over the town, framed by a magnificent 200–250-year-old oak tree to the rear, and its predominantly south-westerly orientation ensures stunning sunsets. Upon entering, the generous hallway sets the tone for the rest of the home. Featuring a striking chequerboard tiled floor and an opulent opal green marble fireplace, this dramatic entrance serves as the hub of the house, with direct access to the main living areas and doors to the rear garden. To the right of the hallway sits a spacious study with built-in cabinetry and bookcases, complemented by a large bay window to the front. Adjacent is the formal sitting room, flooded with natural light from its double-aspect windows and adorned with elegant period details, including intricate plasterwork ceilings and mouldings, an original fireplace, and deep skirting boards. On the opposite side of the hallway, an informal sitting room enjoys delightful views of the veranda and beautifully landscaped rear gardens beyond. The kitchen has been thoughtfully redesigned by the current owners to provide modern conveniences while retaining the home’s traditional character. Fitted with ample cabinetry, built-in appliances, and a classic AGA, it also features a small breakfast bar ideal for casual dining. Flowing seamlessly from the kitchen, the formal dining room is perfect for entertaining, with a wood-burning stove creating a cosy atmosphere and multiple windows ensuring abundant natural light. Double-glazed doors open into the conservatory, a relaxed space for enjoying garden views. Completing the downstairs is a generous utility room with direct access to the double garage, a conveniently located WC, and stairs to the basement. This substantial lower level includes an impressive wine cellar, a large gymnasium area, and three additional storage rooms. Upstairs, the property offers six double bedrooms and three bathrooms. The principal bedroom is particularly striking, with double-aspect windows and a bay window seat offering elevated views of the town and surrounding greenery. Its large en suite bathroom has been elegantly modernised to include both a separate bath and shower and includes a charming access to the balcony. The remaining five double bedrooms all feature period details, such as original fireplaces, with some benefiting from built-in wardrobes. Two further bathrooms ensure ample space for a busy household. Externally, the property enjoys a stunning white veranda at the rear, overlooking landscaped gardens bathed in sunlight thanks to the south-westerly orientation. A large sandstone terrace provides the perfect setting for outdoor dining, while expansive lawns wrap around two sides of the property, bordered by specimen trees, shrubs, and plants for year-round interest. To the front, a generous driveway offers two EV charging points and access to the double garage.
