We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
A beautifully positioned Victorian semi-detached house, situated in the highly sought-after St James’s quarter of Tunbridge Wells, offering well-presented family accommodation together with exciting potential for future loft conversion, subject to the necessary planning consents.
The property is approached via an entrance hall leading into a welcoming sitting room, featuring an attractive bay window, feature fireplace and plantation shutters.
To the rear is a separate dining room, leading through to an impressive extended open-plan kitchen/breakfast room.
The modern fitted kitchen provides an excellent practical and social space, with doors opening directly onto the rear garden and patio seating area, creating an ideal setting for entertaining and family life.
To the first floor are three well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom.
The loft space offers excellent potential for further development and, subject to the necessary planning permissions and consents, is thought capable of providing two additional bedrooms and a shower room.
The property is particularly well suited to families, with the St James’s area being renowned for its excellent access to a selection of highly regarded schools, especially at infant and junior level.
A wider range of grammar schools is also readily accessible. The location is equally appealing for leisure and everyday amenities.
The recently refurbished Grosvenor & Hilbert Park is close by, while Camden Road provides convenient access to the town centre and is home to a popular selection of independent shops, cafés and restaurants.
Tunbridge Wells itself offers an excellent range of social, retail and educational facilities, including sports and social clubs, two theatres and a superb choice of independent retailers, restaurants and bars stretching between the historic Pantiles and Mount Pleasant.
For more extensive shopping, Royal Victoria Place and the North Farm retail area provide a broader mix of well-known national retailers.
For commuters, the town benefits from two mainline railway stations, providing fast and frequent services to both London termini and the South Coast.
An appealing Victorian family home in a highly desirable location, with excellent accommodation and significant potential for future enlargement. Early viewing is strongly recommended.
