House for sale in Derwent Drive, Tunbridge Wells

This well-presented and much loved family home is situated in a very special location at the end of a private drive, just off from Culverden Down, and comes to the market for the first time in 35 years. Its unique tree-lined setting, combines privacy with a highly accessible town centre location, close to amenities and coveted local schooling. The property sits on a generous plot of approximately one-third of an acre, which wraps entirely round the house, flanked with mature shrubs and trees on every side. The light-filled accommodation was designed to take advantage of the natural incline, and the result is a house with very flexible accommodation, which includes three reception rooms and four double bedrooms. This lovely family home certainly has scope for extension if desired, which would result in more open-plan accommodation (subject to necessary consents).

The main entrance opens into a bright and welcoming hallway with double height ceiling. A few steps up and to the left, you will find a spacious sitting room with large windows that flank the south aspect, flooding the room with natural light and also providing an attractive vista over the rear garden. A study leads off from this room, again filled with light thanks to the sliding doors to a Juliet balcony and the second bank of windows. The second reception room is adjacent, providing a perfect space for dining and entertaining, or as a family room, depending on individual requirements, and a fourth bedroom, which is currently used as a playroom. The kitchen is well-equipped with ample cabinetry and worktop space, plus integrated electric ovens, a fridge freezer, gas hob and extractor hood - all included within the sale. A utility room offers additional storage and convenience, with direct access to the rear garden. Completing the ground floor is a cloakroom with WC and shower cubicle, ideal for a busy family.

A carpeted staircase leads down to the main bedroom accommodation. The three double bedrooms all benefit from generous proportions and two have excellent built-in storage. The master bedroom features double sliding doors with direct access to the rear garden, and there is a well-appointed family bathroom. The fourth bedroom is currently being utilised as a Playroom.

Storage is also excellent, with access to a large half cellar on the lower ground floor, and a partially boarded loft on the upper floor.

OUTSIDE

The property is approached via a private drive, leading to a spacious driveway and a double garage, meaning there is both ample parking and external storage facilities. The gardens are mainly laid to lawn with mature trees and shrubs offering privacy, and a stone terrace flanks the rear of the house, perfect for enjoying the rural backdrop and outdoor entertaining. A large summer house is currently used for storage but could easily be adapted to serve more as a home working space, studio or teenage den.

LOCATION

This property is ideally located in a very private location, yet close to coveted primary and secondary schools, including those in the Kent Grammar system. The area offers a range of local amenities and excellent transport links, making it a convenient and desirable place to live.

Derwent Drive is a quiet cul-de-sac on the west side of the vibrant spa town of Tunbridge Wells.

There are excellent schooling options in the area, within both the state and independent sectors, including those in the sought-after Kent Grammar system.
