Semi-detached house for sale in Lyons Crescent, Tonbridge TN9

Striking Edwardian semi-detached villa built in 1908 that has been renovated and extended by the current owner so that it enjoys an elegant and practical layout spanning three floors and retains much of its original charm and character. Its position is ideal, nestled just 100 yards away from the high street – affording easy access to local parks, shops, schools and mainline train station with regular services to London – yet quiet enough to be a harmonious setting for family life.

On the ground floor, this well-formed property offers entrance hall, cloakroom WC, bay-fronted living room, and a separate second reception-family room that opens into an extended dual-aspect kitchen-dining room with quality fitted units and underfloor heating. The upper floors offer five bedrooms with an en-suite shower room and dressing area to the principal bedroom, as well as a family bathroom and further shower room to the second floor. All the bedrooms are doubles, apart from the fifth which is currently used as a study, and benefit from high ceilings and large windows.

Externally, a generously wide driveway offers parking for three cars, and the private rear garden has been landscaped into two levels of patio and raised decking area, separated by flower beds. Property of this age and in this location is highly sought after and seldom available, so internal viewings are strongly encouraged.

For leisure activities, Tonbridge Park has both covered and open-air swimming pools and tennis courts, plus a play area, miniature railway and putting golf for children; Haysden Country Park, with its ancient woodland and lakes, is ideal for cycling and dog-walking. For days out, nearby places of historic interest include Penshurst Place, Hever Castle, Knole and Chartwell; and the vineyards and beaches of the south coast are less than an hour’s drive away.
