Thirlmere Road, Tunbridge Wells, TN4

Set at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac in the ever-popular Bishops Down, this smart end-of-terrace house enjoys an enviable west-facing outlook across Hurst Wood. Behind the pastel front door, a practical entrance area leads into a superb open-plan living space. Defined zones for cooking, dining and relaxing make it a genuinely sociable room: there’s plenty of space for a large dining table, a generous sofa arrangement and direct flow to the deck via wide sliding doors, drawing light deep into the room. The kitchen mixes style with function, featuring granite worktops, a curved breakfast bar, soft-close cabinetry and a Butler-style sink, with thoughtful details such as recessed lighting and a tall contemporary radiator. Grey-oak flooring runs throughout the ground floor for a clean, cohesive feel, complemented by polished chrome switches and power sockets with integrated USB points.

Upstairs, three bedrooms provide flexible sleeping and working space. The principal bedroom enjoys a calm, treetop aspect to the rear; bedroom two is a comfortable double with wardrobe recess; and bedroom three makes an ideal nursery or study. Serving them is a stylish newly installed bathroom with a floating double-basin vanity, shower-over-bath with glazed screen and sleek tiling—finishes that make everyday routines feel that bit more luxurious. Fresh décor and new carpets to the first floor enhance the turnkey appeal, while upgraded electrics and a new boiler (as advised) bring welcome peace of mind.

Outside is a genuine highlight. The west-facing deck spans the rear elevation and is perfectly positioned for afternoon and evening sun—an effortless extension of the living space for al-fresco dining. Steps drop to a tiered garden framed by mature planting, with a wonderfully green, private backdrop onto Hurst Wood. There’s open storage beneath the deck plus an unusually large covered under-house store for bikes, paddle boards and seasonal kit, together with a separate timber shed. To the front, a path with lawn to one side leads to the door, and a separate garage sits opposite the house providing secure parking or additional storage. In all, the accommodation extends to around 804 sq ft across two floors (403 sq ft ground / 401 sq ft first, per floorplan) with the bonus under-house storage in addition—making this a rare blend of modern finish, practical space and a serene woodland setting.
