Birling Drive, Tunbridge Wells

4 Bedroom Detached House for sale in Tunbridge Wells

Nestled on a peaceful residential cul-de-sac to the south of Tunbridge Wells town centre, this substantial family home offers the perfect balance of space, charm, and potential. Set within mature grounds of approximately one third of an acre, the property combines versatile accommodation with beautifully established gardens, all within easy reach of the town's most desirable amenities. Families will particularly appreciate the proximity to excellent schools, the vibrant café culture of The Pantiles, and fast rail links to London and the South Coast.



While the property does require full refurbishment throughout, it represents an exceptional opportunity for buyers to create a truly bespoke home. The generous footprint and mature plot offer immense scope for modernisation, reconfiguration, or extension (subject to the necessary consents), ensuring that the finished result can be tailored precisely to suit the needs of contemporary family life.



From the entrance porch and welcoming hall, the ground floor flows through a choice of living spaces, including a snug, a spacious sitting room with log burner, and a dining room with direct access to the rear garden. The kitchen/breakfast room with adjoining utility space provides the heart of the home and offers ample potential to be transformed into a stylish open-plan family hub. Upstairs, a galleried landing leads to four well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom, providing a solid framework for redesign.



The property sits well within its generous plot, with a front garden offering privacy and a driveway providing parking for multiple vehicles. A detached double garage adds further practicality, while the rear garden is a true highlight. Extending to around one third of an acre, this private, landscaped space is ideal for children, entertaining, or simply enjoying the tranquillity of mature trees and shrubs.



The location is equally appealing. Tunbridge Wells is renowned for its blend of historic charm and modern convenience, offering everything from boutique shopping at Chapel Place and The Pantiles to the extensive retail of Royal Victoria Place. Families will find excellent schooling nearby, both state and independent, while leisure opportunities abound with parks, theatres, golf clubs, and countryside walks all within easy reach. For commuters, Tunbridge Wells mainline station provides fast and frequent connections to London, making this an ideal base for both work and leisure.



A rare opportunity to acquire a home of this size and setting, with enormous scope for refurbishment, extension, and personalisation in one of Kent's most sought-after locations.
