7 Bedroom Detached House, Madeira Park, Tunbridge Wells, TN2

Accommodation

Originally constructed in the early 1900s, this handsome detached residence is one of the largest and most iconic houses on Madeira Park, standing tall and proud as a fine example of the Edwardian architecture that typifies this desirable village quarter of Tunbridge Wells. Offered to the market for the first time in almost 50 years, the property provides spacious and adaptable accommodation arranged over four floors and presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial family home rich in original character.

The Living Accommodation

The property is approached via a sweeping driveway providing off-street parking for several vehicles. A part-glazed entrance opens into a welcoming reception hall of real character, with oak panelling, exposed beams, leaded windows and a fine staircase rising to the upper floors. Off the hall lie the principal reception rooms. The elegant dining room enjoys a dual aspect, handsome wood flooring, full-height fitted bookcases and a fine period fireplace, while a further reception room and a cosy snug provide generous and flexible space for both formal entertaining and relaxed family living.

To the rear of the house is a spacious open plan kitchen and dining room which forms the heart of the home. Fitted with traditional units, granite work surfaces, a breakfast bar and an Aga, the room enjoys a lovely outlook over the garden and connects to a useful pantry and a separate utility room. A cellar provides excellent additional storage.

Bedrooms and Bathrooms

The first and second floors provide seven well-proportioned bedrooms served by four bathrooms. The principal bedroom is a generous double enjoying a dual aspect and far-reaching views over the surrounding rooftops and treetops, together with its own en suite comprising a freestanding roll-top bath, a separate shower and twin vanity basins.

The remaining bedrooms are all comfortable doubles, all enjoying lovely outlooks and benefitting from excellent natural light. The second-floor accommodation offers particularly versatile space, ideal as further bedrooms, guest suites, a home office or playroom, with useful eaves storage. Well-appointed family bathrooms serve the remaining bedrooms.

Garden and External Space

To the rear of the property lies a wonderfully secluded and private garden, a real feature of the home. A paved terrace adjoins the house, providing an ideal setting for outdoor dining and entertaining, beyond which mature trees, established shrubs and climbing planting create a green and tranquil retreat with a pleasant degree of screening and privacy. A generous side return has an area of flat level lawn, and there is also the possibility of creating more garden space with some reconfiguration of the current planting arrangement. Despite the property’s central position, the garden feels remarkably peaceful and offers a charming outdoor space for family use throughout the warmer months.

A garden shed provides further useful storage.
