A White English House with a Beautiful Open-Plan Kitchen
A house on Sunnyside Road can only mean good things, right? This beautiful white villa in Royal Tunbridge Wells was built in the early 20th century, and while the outside has remained pretty much the same since its construction, inside, you’ll find bright and modern spaces.
The four-bedroom house was extended and renovated recently to include a bespoke kitchen, stylish interiors, and Crittall doors that flood the interiors with natural (or should I say ‘sunny’) light.
With a 2,077 sq ft floor plan, the house is already spacious, but with the beautifully landscaped garden surrounding the house, you can also extend your living spaces outdoors.
Light floods the ground floor via windows on three walls, including floor-to-ceiling Crittall doors leading to the garden. A unique feature is the gloss ceiling finished in Farrow and Ball’s ‘Wimbourne White.’
The kitchen is simply spectacular with bespoke cabinets topped by quartzite marble with emerald green veining, a brass sink by deVOL, and glass shelves.
A bespoke brass staircase sits in the center of the ground floor and separates the kitchen from the dining and living areas.
The sitting area is centered around a wood-burning stove in an open fireplace. Through the double doors, you enter a more private sitting room.
The cozy sitting room is located in an extended part of the house and features a skylight. The ceiling is painted in blush pink called ‘Potted Shrimp’ by Farrow and Ball.
The master bedroom sits at the front of the house and features an en suite bathroom and a large walk-in wardrobe with bespoke brass ironmongery in the shape of a radial sun.
The other three bedrooms are all fitted with bespoke cabinetry.
The primary en suite on the left is lined with Mandarin Stone tiles and has an oblong sink by Tom Dixon.
A decked area at the rear of the walled garden is home to a shiplap-clad studio space lined internally with reclaimed wood.
The house is listed with Inigo for £1,595,000.
