Forge Road, Tunbridge Wells

This beautifully refurbished home is a short walk from first class grammar schools, high street shops and the mainline station making it perfect for city commuters and families with professional needs.

A handsome red brick exterior leads you past a smart front garden up a stone pathway to the front door, neatly placed at the side.

The elegant living room at the front of the house is a cosy retreat with the handsome sash window exposing street views while the wood burning stove offers a welcoming warmth in the colder months.

The dining room which sits just off the kitchen is bathed in light from its rear aspect window bringing views of the garden in. It is perfectly placed next to the kitchen for family dinners with a period fireplace for a more intimate entertaining space.

Towards the rear of the house is the pretty kitchen/breakfast room whose bespoke wooden country style cabinets provide ample storage space top and bottom. Crisp white walls and black and white tiled flooring add character and contrast to the warm wooden cabinetry while a Belfast sink placed under a window lets you star gaze as you wash up. The room feels very light with its side windows and part patterned glazed door giving rear garden access. A door at the rear opens into the separate utility room, with useful guest cloakroom.

Climbing the stairs to the first floor the spacious bathroom is at the rear of the landing with a sumptuous period roll top bath with a shower over. Light streams into both double bedrooms with both benefiting from built in wardrobes.

The paved courtyard garden is a charming space with borders for plants, plenty of space for alfresco dining and close boarded fencing on all sides providing privacy and a safe enclosure for pets and children.

This fabulous period home offers flexible living space in a central location. It also offers development opportunities making it a must see!
