York Road, Tunbridge Wells

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

It sits on a sought-after road, a stone's throw from the bustling town centre's restaurants, shops, and cafes. With the mainline station and the green open spaces of Tunbridge Wells Common also a short walk away, it really offers the perfect location.

The home's striking exterior delivers plenty of kerb appeal with its decorative balcony railings, traditional Victorian windows, and neat planting.

A covered part glazed entrance door to the side welcomes you into a wide hallway with rooms running off it at every angle.

First on the right is the sitting room. It is spacious with large sash windows flooding the room with light. A handsome marble fireplace, alcove cabinetry, high ceiling and decorative period features make it a charming space. It is also very versatile as it could also be used as a fourth bedroom.

Along the hallway and behind is the elegant dining room with a large sash window, marble fireplace and a high ceiling, providing an inviting dining experience. It also benefits from access into the guest cloakroom and cellar below, which provides useful storage space.

Behind, and conveniently placed next to the dining room, is the stylish kitchen. Warm wooden cabinets offer great storage with pan drawers, bevelled corner units and larder cupboards. There is an integrated Neff oven with a 5 ring gas hob and extractor above and an integrated dishwasher. It is a visual delight with plenty of granite counter tops and the sink is placed under one of the windows.

At the far end is the utility room, with space and plumbing for appliances, and access into the courtyard garden.

Returning to the hallway and climbing the stairs to the first floor, the elegant drawing room is at the front. It spreads graciously across the width of the house and enjoys a beautiful bay window whose doors open onto its sit on balcony. Another spectacular marble fireplace adds character and warmth to the room in the colder months.

Opposite, the beautiful principal bedroom's high ceiling, large window and modern en suite bathroom makes it a very tranquil space and add to the feeling of luxury that the room certainly delivers on.

Up a further flight of stairs to the second floor, there are two bedrooms, both of which are generous doubles with large windows offering spectacular views.

A modern shower room completes the floor.

Outside the courtyard garden is perfect for a table and chairs for your morning coffee or summer dining. It is fully enclosed with raised stocked flower beds and trellising with climbing plants above its walled perimeters.
