3 bedroom semi-detached house

A stylishly presented three bedroom, semi detached house on the popular North side of Tunbridge Wells, well placed for grammar schools and links back into London.

Description

Stephens Road is a very attractive semi-detached period house with later additions that offers well-proportioned, beautifully presented accommodation. The style and age of the house are complemented by its layout, which spans two floors and is flexible enough to suit modern family living and entertaining.

Upon entering, the reception hall leads to the impressive open-plan kitchen/diner at the rear of the house. The bespoke base and wall cabinetry offer good storage, with an integrated dishwasher, washing machine, and fridge-freezer. The striking worktops and breakfast bar provide ample preparation space and facilitate informal eating and entertaining. The kitchen opens into the large dining area, which is flooded with natural light from the pitcher window, double-glazed windows, and glazed French doors that overlook and open onto the paved terrace spanning the rear of the house, with side access.

A more formal sitting room is situated at the front of the house, featuring decorative cornicing and an attractive bay window. A W.C. completes the ground floor.

The first floor comprises three bright bedrooms and a well-appointed family bathroom with the benefit of a separate shower. It should be noted that the principal bedroom offers the size and scope for the creation of an en-suite, subject to any necessary consents. There is also a very useful study space on this floor.
