Located in the highly sought-after St James’ area of Tunbridge Wells, this attractive detached family home combines generous living space with stylish modern presentation, creating a home perfectly suited to contemporary family life.
Offering four bedrooms, impressive open-plan living, a detached garden office, private access to neighbouring parkland and exciting future extension potential, this is a property that delivers both practicality and lifestyle in equal measure.
The welcoming entrance hall provides an immediate sense of space and leads through to a bright and comfortable living room, where a large bay window floods the room with natural light and creates an ideal setting for everyday family living.
To the rear of the property, the standout feature is undoubtedly the exceptional kitchen/dining room.

A central island creates a natural gathering point, complemented by extensive work surfaces, excellent storage and ample room for both dining and entertaining.
The open layout is perfect for busy family life, whether hosting friends or enjoying relaxed evenings at home.
A separate utility room keeps the practicalities neatly tucked away, while a cloakroom completes the ground floor accommodation.
The first floor provides four well-proportioned bedrooms, each offering flexibility for growing families, guest accommodation or home working.
The main bedroom enjoys a pleasant outlook and generous proportions, while a useful walk-through dressing area adds valuable storage and functionality.
The bedrooms are served by a beautifully appointed shower room, finished with contemporary fittings and elegant marble-effect tiling. Outside, the property continues to impress.
The rear garden provides a private space for children to play, summer entertaining or simply relaxing outdoors.
A detached garden office offers an ideal work-from-home environment, creative studio or hobby space, whilst the detached garage and driveway provide excellent parking and storage solutions.
A particularly rare feature is the property’s private gated access directly into the neighbouring park and gardens, creating an extension of the outdoor living space and providing a wonderful environment for families, dog walkers and those who enjoy the outdoors.
For buyers seeking future potential, the property also benefits from previously approved planning permission for a substantial two-storey side extension together with a single-storey front extension (Planning Reference: 18/02585/full), presenting an exciting opportunity to significantly increase the accommodation, subject to any necessary consents.

Local shops, parks and everyday amenities are all within easy reach, making this an outstanding opportunity to secure a quality family home in a prime position.
