This property is a 7 bedroom, 6 bathroom detached house located in the prestigious Bishops Down Road, Tunbridge Wells. The property benefits from a large plot size of 6,134 sqft and a substantial living space of 3,224 sqft.
The location is excellent, situated in a desirable area of Tunbridge Wells, known for its high quality of life. The proximity to excellent schools such as Bennett Memorial Diocesan School (rated Outstanding by Ofsted) and Bishops Down Primary School (rated Good) adds significant value. Tunbridge Wells mainline railway station is also within easy reach, providing convenient access to London and other major cities.
Based on the provided images, the property appears to be in exceptional condition. It has been beautifully maintained and updated, showcasing high-quality fixtures and fittings throughout. The property boasts a modern kitchen, several elegantly appointed reception rooms, and well-presented bedrooms and bathrooms. The overall impression is one of a well-cared-for, luxurious home.
The property includes a substantial garden, with a well-maintained lawn, mature trees, and a swimming pool. This adds significantly to its appeal and value.
Considering the property’s size, condition, location, and amenities, the list price of £3,350,000 appears to be in line with, or potentially slightly below, market value for similar properties in the area. While the average price per sqft in the area is £456, this property’s superior condition, location, and extensive plot size justify a higher price per sqft. Nearby comparable properties on Manor Park support this assessment, with prices ranging from £735,000 to £1,315,000 for detached houses. However, these properties are significantly smaller and may not have the same level of finish and amenities.
Therefore, we give this property 9 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
