Description

12 Manor Close is an attractive, detached, family home found within this small and highly regarded residential close, enjoying a highly convenient, yet tucked away position within the town. The house offers light, spacious, well-proportioned and very well-presented accommodation, whilst providing considerable scope for a new family to put their mark on the house moving forward, should they wish to do so.

The ground floor is home to the triple aspect, front-to-back sitting room with outlook over both the front and rear gardens and an attractive fireplace with wood burner. The open plan kitchen/dining room creates an easy and sociable layout. The stylish fitted kitchen with range of integrated appliances, provides good storage and preparation space. A WC completes the ground floor.

On the first floor there are four light, spacious, double bedrooms together with a well-appointed family bathroom.

Of particular note, 12 Manor Close is coming to market with the considerable benefit of planning permission already in place to significantly extend and reconfigure the house to create six bedrooms with three bath/shower rooms and a sizeable ground floor.

Further details and plans are available on the Tunbridge Wells Borough Council website, reference 22/03329/FULL. Granted in January 2023 the permission is for erection of side and rear extension, erection of loft conversion, erection of new porch, erection of new garage, alterations to garden including new terrace and decking.

Steps and a pathway lead down the gently sloping garden, ideal for child's play towards the rear boundary where there are two useful sheds with established trees and planting to the borders, providing good screening.
