House to rent in Newcomen Road, Tunbridge Wells

A stylish, beautifully refurbished 3 or 4 bedroomed town house within a stunning conversion of a former Victorian school, close to the town centre and all of the excellent amenities of Tunbridge Wells.

The Old School is a semi-detached house that has been newly created within a former Victorian school. This stylish conversion is located in the popular St John’s area of Tunbridge Wells, close to the High Street and local amenities and within easy reach of the mainline train station. Spacious accommodation is arranged over 2 floors and is perfect for modern living with contemporary style throughout and yet retaining many period features. This incredibly stylish development offers the new residents an excellent opportunity to live in a traditional building in fabulous location, and yet enjoy all the convenience of modern living with luxury fittings and fixtures.

A new front door leads into the hallway with its convenient cloakroom, storage cupboards and oak flooring. Running the whole length of the ground floor, the open plan kitchen/diner incorporates the original school entrance and with double doors, which lead out to a private courtyard to the rear will be perfect for entertaining family and friends. The well-appointed kitchen is fitted with painted Burnhill kitchen cabinetry and quartz worktops with quality Neff integrated appliances and there is a separate utility room with butler’s sink and plumbing for a washing machine, space for tumble dryer and further storage. Revealing the history of the building the original School Scholarship board and original memorial stone add interest and character. Windows to the front and side allow plenty of light to flood into the duel aspect living room, which has a fireplace as a focal point. A study completes the ground floor, which could be used as a fourth bedroom if required.

Carpeted stairs with glass balustrade lead upstairs to 3 bedrooms, each with their own ensuite bathroom. All of the bathrooms are well appointed with a beautiful roll top bath in the master bedroom bathroom and all are fitted with concealed shaver points and anti-mist mirrors. Exposed original knee braces are prominent in the master bedroom and bedroom 2 and all bedrooms have 3 large windows making them light and bright.

At the front, the original school gate has been retained as part of a paved patio and planting area. To the side is a tarmacked driveway with parking for 1 vehicle and there is an attractive brick wall to the rear boundary, which perfectly complements the red brick walls of the Victorian building. A standout feature is the school blackboard with a flowerbed beneath. At the rear is a fully enclosed courtyard garden with composite decking giving privacy and requiring minimal maintenance.
