A a charming semi-detached Victorian house in a popular residential street in Rusthall village.
As it is only a stone's throw away from the centre of Tunbridge Wells with its excellent commuter links, bustling shops and café culture it really delivers the best of both worlds.
Retaining much of its original charm and character, including period fireplaces and high ceilings, it has the benefit of a converted second floor making it a substantial family home.
Its smart period red brick exterior is mingled with wall climbing plants and a charming wooden door with stained glass which entices you across its threshold.
Inside, the hallway is bright with a decorative radiator cabinet and crisply painted cream walls making it a smart and welcoming space.
To the right is a large and beautiful living room with wooden flooring, a high ceiling and period detail. Light pours into the room from the generous bay window with a handsome fireplace offering warmth in the colder months. Paneled double doors at the rear can cleverly extend the living room into the dining room to give you excellent entertaining space when the need arises.
The dining room itself, also accessed from the hallway, is linked seamlessly by the same warm wooden flooring and has plenty of space for a large dining table and chairs.
Conveniently placed behind is the kitchen whose honey coloured wooden units contrast beautifully with the eye-catching wall and floor tiling. A sink placed under the window to enable you to keep an eye on the children playing in the garden and space for a table and chairs make it a great family room.
Climbing the carpeted stairs to the first floor, a bright and spacious landing has three bedrooms and a family bathroom leading off it. The master bedroom, with two fitted wardrobes, stretches the width of the house and is flooded with light from its two front windows, one of which is a beautiful bay.
The second floor has a further delightful double bedroom with excellent storage space. A large modern shower room with walk in shower completes the floor.
This exceptional family home has the advantage of a lovely low maintenance rear garden that is accessed directly off the kitchen. It is secluded and laid mainly to lawn with a smart decked terrace at the rear of the house, perfect for alfresco dining.
Arranged over three floors, this property couldn't't feel more homely and with its smart and sympathetic update, it is Victorian property that has been transformed into an elegant family home. A must see!
