House for sale in Hilbert Road, Tunbridge Wells

This detached, 1960s house has been loved by the same owners for the past 30 years, having worked well for them as a family home for their own children and for their visiting grandchildren. Set in the ever-popular St James’ area of the town, within a short walk of the well-regarded local primary school and with the Grammar schools and other secondary schools also within walking distance.

The property is secluded from the road with gentle steps leading down to the front door. Once inside, you instantly appreciate how light and bright this super home is. The entrance hallway is a good size and has storage under the stairs and a shower room off to the side, which is useful when you have extra guests staying with you. The main living room is incredibly generous in size and enjoys a dual aspect and so benefits from the morning sun from the front of the property and the afternoon and evening sun from the rear. There is a living-flame style gas fire as a focal point and doors open out into the rear garden with lovely views beyond. The large dining room is also at the front of the house, which provides an excellent entertaining space and has been used as a play room for youngsters and a teenagers lounge in the past, demonstrating the flexibility to the layout. The kitchen/breakfast room is across the rear, with far-reaching views, space for a table and chairs and space for freestanding appliances. A useful utility room leads out into the garden and houses the laundry appliances as well as another sink and more storage.

The master bedroom is to the rear, with the most wonderful far-reaching views over the adjoining allotments, rooftops and treetops and has plenty of space for a good run of wardrobes as well as having an en-suite bathroom with power shower over the bath. There are 3 further double bedrooms, a single bedroom which is currently used as a study and the family bathroom also has a power shower over the bath.

Outside, there is a detached garage with driveway parking for 2-4 cars and further, unrestricted, roadside parking. The front of the property is secluded with well-stocked beds featuring a variety of mature shrubs and trees. There is a gate on either side of the property, leading through into the rear garden. The rear garden is west-facing and wraps around the sides and rear of the house, with woodland to one side and adjoining the local allotments to the rear. The garden has been designed over several levels, creating different areas of the garden and plenty of interest. There is a decked terrace in front of the kitchen which catches the very last of the sun and a lovely place to relax of an evening and the paved patio to the side and rear features an ornamental pond and plenty of space for summer barbecues. There are two lawned areas which have played host to trampolines and play equipment over the years. The gardens are filled with mature shrubs and trees to fill the garden with colour and birdsong in the spring and summer months.

Having the Grosvenor and Hilbert Park at the end of the road, and the mainline station at High Brooms less than 15 minutes walk away, means you enjoy the best of both worlds here - a fabulous feeling of space and being surrounded by greenery, yet still incredibly convenient for all the amenities of the town.
