House for sale in Christchurch Avenue, Tunbridge Wells

This stunning four-bedroom, two-bathroom townhouse is extremely well presented and offers excellent flexible living and sleeping accommodation. Set in a truly superb location, on a quiet private road just steps away from the High Street in the heart of the town and Conservation Area, this house beautifully combines period features with contemporary styling and has been lovingly maintained and improved by the current owners to offer very elegant family living.

The beauty and period charm of this house starts in the hallway, with its original panelled front door, dado rail, cornicing and ceiling roses. In the space under the stairs is a generous storage cupboard, ideal for coats and shoes, and beyond this the downstairs cloakroom. To the left of the hallway is the first reception room, which the current owners use as a dining room: a lovely space filled with light from the gorgeous bank of bay windows to the front of the house and window to the side, both framed with recently installed plantation shutters. Attractive alcove shelving has been installed to either alcove of the original fireplace, which is in working order.

The dine-in kitchen is very well-appointed with a tiled floor, custom built wooden fitted units with granite work surfaces, and quality integrated appliances which include a Rangemaster oven, fridge, freezer, dishwasher, washer/dryer and wine fridge. This room has ample space for casual dining or relaxing, and its double French doors to the garden ensure that again this is a light-filled room.

The garden is a real gem of this property, beautifully landscaped, highly secluded and larger than average thanks to the end of row position that this house enjoys.  Mature trees and shrubs flank the borders whilst its south-west orientation ensures it is flooded with sun throughout the day. 

On the upper floors there is an additional generous reception room, currently serving as the sitting room and again featuring a range of period features, including an original fireplace, which again is in working order, picture rails and sash windows. 

The four bedrooms on the upper floors are all a good size, and three have fitted cupboards and are lovely light-filled spaces thanks to their generous windows.  The master bedroom features a stylish and fully tiled, newly fitted, en suite shower room and also has its own dressing room.  There is an additional spacious family bathroom on the first floor with a separate shower cubicle and original, cast iron, Edwardian, free-standing bath. 

On the second floor there is access to the very good size boarded loft which provides excellent storage space and has the potential for conversion subject to the relevant planning consents.  

Christchurch Avenue is a private road and accordingly all of the parking is reserved for its residents.  This house benefits from two allocated parking spaces to the front, and one additional visitor pass.
