6 Bedroom Detached House, Birling Drive, Tunbridge Wells, TN2

This fabulous detached family home offers highly flexible and spacious accommodation, and all in the most special of settings, being situated towards the end of a quiet no-through road on the south side of the town, in a generous and secluded plot of c. 1/3rd of an acre. The current owners have lived very happily in the house for the past 24 years, extending and adapting the property to meet the needs to their family. The result is a very generous home with six bedrooms, four bathrooms and multiple reception rooms. Yet the house certainly has the potential to be extended still further, depending on the new owner’s requirements (and necessary planning consents). It is located just off from the Frant Road and so within easy walking distance of the mainline station, the High Street, The Pantiles, and the extensive range of local schools, shops, restaurants, cafes, parks that the the town is so popular for.

The hallway of this house creates a lovely first impression of the property, fitted with wooden flooring which is a feature of much of the downstairs accommodation, and a useful under-stairs cupboard. On the ground floor, there are three excellent reception rooms, currently serving as a sitting room, dining room and study, along with the kitchen with pantry, utility room and downstairs WC. For buyers who want the popular open plan kitchen, there is certainly the potential to combine the kitchen and dining room; a lovely space which features sliding doors onto the large raised deck and the peaceful outlook of the gardens and trees beyond.

Like the hallway, the upstairs landing links all the first-floor accommodation with stairs to the top floor. There are three double bedrooms and a single bedroom on the first floor, and the remaining two double bedrooms are on the next level. Two of the bedrooms on the first floor feature their own en suite shower room and fitted wardrobes, plus there is a spacious family bathroom and a linen cupboard. On the second floor, the larger of the two bedrooms is currently used as the master suite, and is a truly lovely space, with floor to ceiling windows overlooking the rear garden and its own en suite bathroom. The bedrooms to the front overlook the extensive front garden which contains a wide variety of established shrubs providing privacy, whilst the rooms to the rear all have wonderful views of the gardens. There are eaves cupboards which provide easy to access storage.

The gardens of this property are very special, being generous and secluded with mature shrubs and trees, giving the house a very peaceful location, despite its close proximity to the town’s amenities. To the front of the house is a private driveway, which leads to the double garage, and there is a further outbuilding, perfect for storage.
