Offered as top of chain and absolutely ripe with potential for further extension and development, STPP, a 4 bedroom detached home with large private gardens and generous parking in the St. James quarter of town.
Offered as top of chain and ripe with possibilities for further extension and development, subject to permissions, a four bedroom detached family home with two garages and further parking in an unexpectedly large plot located in the St. James quarter of Tunbridge Wells. The property is arranged over three levels with garaging to the lower ground floor, a number of good reception rooms to the ground floor with bedrooms and en-suite facilities to the first floor. A glance at the attached floorplan will give an indication as to the current layout of the property. What is less obvious and perhaps only really understood by viewing the property is the sheer amount of space surrounding the house - we assume that when the site was originally developed, the developer felt it inappropriate to add another property to the site which has been very much to the advantage of the current owners.
