This property which has three bedrooms, occupies a truly unique semi-rural location situated on the fringes of Tunbridge Wells in a popular residential area, a short walk from local shops/amenities and bus routes - ideal for those wanting easy access to excellent schooling & rail commuting to London.
The house itself is situated at the end of a cul-de-sac of properties with off road parking and parking in front of a separate garage. Although attached on one aspect, the property gives the feeling of being a detached, with landscaped gardens on three sides giving much privacy including elevated views over the paddocks and Hurst Wood etc. For vehicle access to the stable yard and outbuildings there is a separate shared driveway leading from a private track to the rear which also leads to extensive hacking on common land and bridleways (close to Toll Rides).
The very well presented accommodation includes: Ground Floor - sitting room with dining area & sliding patio doors offering panoramic rear views, study/playroom/guest room, triple aspect designer fitted kitchen/breakfast room with rear & side views. First Floor: Main bedroom with ensuite and views over the paddocks to the rear, two further double bedrooms and family shower room.
The well stocked surrounding gardens offer an elevated view over the land which is owned by the property with patio and an attractive decked area for alfresco dining or just relaxing in a quiet spot, whilst enjoying watching the horses graze and being surrounded by nature.
