6 bedroom house for sale

In a tucked away position, at the head of a shared private drive - owned by the property but over which two other properties have rights of way – just over a half mile from Tonbridge station and the town centre, a handsome portion of a fine Victorian mansion that dates from the mid nineteenth century, that was sub-divided in two, some years ago. With red brick exterior elevations typical of the period, the property retains many period features and is in general, presented in good order. Under the present ownership, a side extension has been created in order to form a new family living space/kitchen that is presently in shell form ready for the final fitout and connecting through to the main body of the house. Elsewhere ceilings are high and windows large, many of which are the originals - some with coloured glass – and there are a number of fireplaces. Arranged over three floors, the accommodation in the main house extends to 3474 square feet (including the extension and attic rooms) together with a further 416 square feet in the basement/lower ground floor. The drawing room is fabulous, enjoying a dual aspect and an ornate stone fireplace with French doors out to the garden. Currently set up as a small kitchenette with wet room and a second reception room, this area adjoins the new extension and can be rearranged to compliment the new addition.
An easy rising staircase leads to the first floor where there are four good-sized bedrooms and a family shower room. Access to the second floor is via a fixed staircase, where there are three rooms ready for refurbishment to provide additional bedrooms and a bathroom. Accessed via an internal staircase from the new extension, the basement consists of five rooms, several with windows and is an excellent opportunity to create further living space.
