Penshurst Road, Speldhurst, Tunbridge Wells, Kent, TN3 0PH

A highly attractive, detached family house found in the heart of the highly sought-after village of Speldhurst, ideally placed for village life.

Description

Glyntonhurst is a charming and welcoming family home enjoying a very central position within the pretty and highly regarded village of Speldhurst. The house offers light, spacious, and well-proportioned and well-presented accommodation, providing a flexible and generous layout which caters ideally to the demands of modern family living.

To the rear of the house, our clients have extended the property with a large 'Edmondson Conservatories & Orangerie' orangerie creating a very impressive, light-filled kitchen/dining/family room and a real heart to the home. This very sociable space opens onto the rear paved terrace and enjoys the view of the beautiful gardens beyond. The kitchen provides good storage and lots of preparation space, with attractive base and wall cabinetry together with a range of integrated appliances and space for an American style fridge-freezer.

The ground floor reception space offers practicality and flexibility with three generous rooms that can be used to suit individual needs, currently arranged to provide a more formal sitting room with working wood burner and attractive exposed brick fireplace, a playroom to the front of the house, with a further family room to the rear also overlooking and opening directly onto the terrace and gardens beyond.

A useful utility room adjoins the kitchen, which leads to a sizable home office/study with outlook over and direct access onto the garden, which is an ideal set up for today's working from home needs. A ground floor WC completes the accommodation.

The first floor is home to the principal bedroom with an en suite shower room, three further bedrooms and family bathroom.

A particular feature at Glyntonhurst is the wonderful garden to the rear. The well-screened garden, which is deceptively large, has been cleverly and lovingly landscaped to provide a choice of seating, entertaining areas to chase the sun or retreat to the shade, there is plenty of level lawn for child’s play and recreational areas, there is a vegetable garden, and a “wild” mini meadow with a swing. The beds and borders are filled with carefully curated, established planting, providing colour and interest. There is also a useful summer house providing storage. To the front of the house there is gated driveway parking for several cars.
