About 39 Forest Road

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

39 Forest Road is a semi-detached house in Tunbridge Wells (TN2 5AL). It has a recorded floor area of 102 m² (around 1098 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D.
