St. James Park, Tunbridge Wells

3 Bedroom Semi-Detached House for sale in Tunbridge Wells

2 3 1

GUIDE PRICE £675,000 - £700,00. Located on a popular St. James residential road in a quiet but convenient location and offering excellent access to the town centre, a three bedroom, three storey, halls adjoining period property with two off road parking spaces to the front and a surprisingly large and well stocked rear garden to the rear. The garden ultimately backs onto woodland and allotments at the rear and has an especially pleasing ambience and sunny aspect given its central location. Offering exceptional versatility, the property could be readily reconfigured to provide four bedrooms by dividing the existing middle bedroom to create a fourth bedroom and bathroom, whilst converting the current family bathroom into a generous double bedroom. Beyond its existing accommodation, the property presents a rare opportunity to significantly enhance the living space. Subject to the necessary planning permissions and consents being obtainable, there is excellent scope to utilise the sizeable loft space to create further accommodation, together with the potential for a substantial side-return extension, resulting in a significantly larger ground-floor footprint and an exceptional family home tailored to a purchaser's individual requirements.  The house is maintained to a high standard with a number of period features and offers good access to two main line railway stations, a number of highly regarded schools and the recently refurbished Grosvenor & Hilbert Park.
