Dorking Road, Tunbridge Wells

3 Bedroom Bungalow for sale in Tunbridge Wells

1 3 1

GUIDE PRICE £500,000 - £535,000. Offered as top of chain and located on an especially popular residential road in the St. James quarter of  Tunbridge Wells, highly regarded for its views across Grosvenor and Hilbert Park, a two/three bedroom detached bungalow which subject to permissions has excellent potential for further modernisation, refurbishment and development. As currently arranged, the property has a particularly generous principal lounge extended by the current owners and with a rear terrace affording beautiful views across neighbouring gardens and the park. The kitchen is again of a good size and again a beneficiary of an extension under the previous owners. The property has two double bedrooms, with the potential for using the second reception room as a third bedroom if necessary. A glance at the attached floorplan and photographs will give a good indication as to the flexibility of this proposition and the definite pleasures of living in this area. What is less apparent from the photographs and floorplan is the extremely peaceful 'feel' of this location benefiting tremendously as it does from the proximity to the park and allotments. Subject to permissions being obtainable we consider there is good potential for the installation of off-road parking as immediately adjacent neighbours have done.
