These include one with the Royal Tunbridge Wells motto ‘Do Well Doubt Not.' The hall has tiled flooring that flows through the flexible ground floor accommodation, which includes the country style kitchen/breakfast room with its Rayburn stove, shaker and dresser style units housing various appliances and an archway to the utility room with external French doors .
The dual aspect sitting room has built in shelving either side of the stone chimney breast and a fireplace with a log burner while another reception room, with a beam over the fireplace, could be a study/dining room or double bedroom as it has a trendy en suite shower.
Stairs with ornate newel posts lead to the galleried landing with access to a stunning modern family bathroom and two double bedrooms with partially vaulted ceilings including the one with fitted cupboards and the master with a fireplace.
The large terrace leads to a lawn with flower beds and trees surrounded by high hedging. There is a side path flanked by clipped hedges and solid wood gates on either side of the property leading to the driveway.
