Birling Drive, Tunbridge Wells, Kent

Partially hidden away in a private enclave of just three houses, on the popular Birling Drive (just off Frant Road), is this gem of an extended detached family home with stunning countryside views. Situated in the midst of nearly a third of an acre of grounds it is within walking distance of the famous Pantiles and the station.

The front garden includes a lawn, shrubs and a driveway that leads to the double garage. This has a good sized storeroom underneath with lighting and electrics so could be converted into a bar/games room or studio/gym. The front door opens into a hallway with a utility room/cloakroom and solid wood flooring that flows through much of the ground floor.

There is a study/snug and a good sized sitting room with a log burner and double doors to the dining room that, in turn, has bi-fold doors opening onto the vast decked terrace and a door to the spacious kitchen/breakfast room. This features a very large range cooker as well as shaker style units housing various appliances, plenty of space for a table and chairs and access to a pantry.

Off the first floor landing there is a family bathroom and four bedrooms including a single and three doubles with two of the double bedrooms having en suite facilities and fitted wardrobes. On the second floor there are two double bedrooms including the superb master suite with stunning countryside views and an en suite shower.

Another wonderful feature of this property is the rear garden with its beautiful trees and shrubs as well as a large lawn. This can be fully appreciated when you are sitting on the extensive decked terrace enjoying al fresco dining or just relaxing in the sunshine.

What the Owner says:

This has been a wonderful family home for the past 25 years however we feel the time has come to downsize. We love the views, the privacy and the peace and tranquility of the area. During our time here we have, extended into the attic and built the large terrace as well as adding en suite facilities to create a truly special family home.
We can easily walk to the station, the shops and restaurants and we are close to good schools, a bus route, two pubs, the Neville Golf Club and Tunbridge Wells rugby, tennis and cricket clubs. There is also the indoor sports and tennis centre and a swimming pool and easy access to the A21/M25. With regard to education there are a number of primary and secondary schools rated Outstanding by Osted and a variety of excellent private schools in the area.
