For Sale7 Bedroom House in Blatchington Road, Tunbridge Wells, Kent, TN2 5EG£2,350,000

An exceptional Edwardian townhouse, in a very desirable location, being within 0.7 miles of the station. A very handsome Edwardian family home offering adaptable accommodation over three floors, together with a large garden and a prime location on the south side of town. 11 Blatchington Road has been lovingly refurbished and is immaculately presented throughout, with great attention to detail. Special care has been taken to enhance the original period features, including stripped and polished pine flooring on the ground floor, beautiful stained glass fanlights and insets to the windows and doors, pretty fireplaces, deep skirting boards and decorative cornicing and coving. Impressive proportions are typical of the Edwardian period, and this property is no exception, with its attractive red brick entrance porch and light and spacious reception hall, with a striking balustrade staircase with carved oak newel posts. The ground floor living space comprises a characterful kitchen/breakfast room and two well proportioned reception rooms. The kitchen/breakfast room overlooks the garden to the rear and features a wide brick fireplace with a wood burning stove, painted wall and base units, a double Belfast sink, a range-style cooker and space for white goods, including an American-style fridge/freezer. The two formal reception rooms feature interesting fireplaces and big bay windows; the sitting room to the front has a good range of built-in bookshelves, whilst the drawing room is currently used as a family room and opens out through French doors to the garden. The cellar level houses the boiler and provides useful storage space. There are seven bedrooms arranged over the top two floors providing plenty of scope for creating home office space, together with two well-appointed contemporary bath/shower rooms. Our clients are in the process of installing an additional en suite shower room on the second floor to serve bedroom 3, with plumbing in place, but it is not yet fitted. PLANNING PERMISSION FOR EXTENSION For those requiring further space, planning permission (Ref: 22/00571/FULL dated 22 April, 2022) has been granted for a single-storey rear extension and a two-storey side extension. This would create an attractive "double-fronted" elevation, re-configure the ground floor space to provide a large open plan kitchen/dining room with double doors out to the garden, a utility room and a bay windowed study, with a laundry room, en suite bath/shower room and dressing room on the first floor, and two additional shower rooms on the second floor. A generously proportioned enclosed well-screened garden lies to the rear of the house, with extensive paved terracing for entertaining, a level lawn and steps down to further space for a childrens' play area enhanced by mature trees. To the front, the property is set well back from Blatchington Road with a recently laid resin driveway providing off street parking and an area of lawn screened by laurel hedging.
