St Luke's Road, Tunbridge Wells (near station)

SOLD BY FLYING FISH PROPERTIES TUNBRIDGE WELLS This beautiful double bay fronted home oozes period charm whilst delivering a family friendly contemporary style of living.

Its handsome red brick exterior with covered porch provides plenty of kerb appeal and is set back from the road by a low brick wall, with a gate to the side for rear garden access.

Paved steps lead you up to the part glazed entrance door which welcomes you into a bright hallway, a wide under stair open recess providing hanging space for coats and room for storage.

Retaining much of its original charm and character, including period fireplaces and high ceilings, this wonderful home has the benefit of a family friendly layout.

To the right is the beautiful living room with neutral décor, a high ceiling and period detail. Light pours into the room from the deep bay window whilst fitted alcove cabinetry and a period fireplace add character and warmth in the colder months.

Along the hallway and behind is the dining/family room, conveniently placed next to the kitchen. It has warm wooden flooring and a large window brightening the space for an enjoyable dining experience. Given its generous size, it is very versatile and currently doubles as a playroom.

Next door to the rear is the stylish kitchen. It is a perfectly planned area with glossy granite worktops that contrast beautifully with cream cabinetry, top and bottom, some of which is curved. A Belfast sink is placed under the window and there is a recessed space for a range oven with a mantle and inset spice cupboards. There is a fitted larder cupboard for additional storage and French doors provide useful garden access for muddy boots and paws.

A utility cupboard with space and plumbing for an appliance and a cloakroom are fantastic additions for a young family.

Climbing the carpeted stairs to the first floor landing there are three bedrooms and a family bathroom.

The principal bedroom stretches the width of the house and is flooded with light from its two windows, one a deep bay. Its décor and graceful proportions give a very tranquil feeling.

The other bedrooms are immaculate and bright and the modern bathroom with shower over the roll top shower bath completes the floor.

It has the advantage of a west facing low maintenance rear garden that is safely enclosed for children and pets and laid mainly to lawn with a decked terrace, perfect for summer entertaining. It has a wonderful leafy treetop backdrop offering greenery and privacy.
