Colonels Way, Southborough

SOLD BY FLYING FISH PROPERTIES This fabulous family home has been extended and remodelled by its current owners to create a layout and flow that is ideal for family life.

Set back from its quiet cul-de-sac setting by a driveway that fronts the double garage, its smart red brick exterior delivers plenty of kerb appeal.

A part glazed gabled porch welcomes you into the light filled interior, its warm wooden flooring seamlessly linking rooms on both sides of the hallway, with a useful guest cloakroom at the rear.

First on the right is the home office dappled in sun light from its deep bay fronted window.

Opposite is the spacious living room which also benefits from a front aspect bay window. To the rear are glazed sliding doors that borrow light from the rear and can also lie open to extend the living space into the family room, creating superb entertaining space. It is plenty big enough for large family sofas to relax in whilst a wood burning stove is perfect for cosy nights in.

Behind is the dining/family room which is flooded with light from its large roof lantern and rear glazing with French doors opening at two angles into the garden. It is a very social space, perfect for chatting to friends and family as you prepare dinner.

Opening to the right is the stunning kitchen/breakfast room whose large space is brightened by its bi-fold doors that bring garden views in. It is beautifully finished with glossy cabinets topped with gleaming granite work tops. An island with room for two bar stools, curved cupboards, a wine rack and cooler, is the perfect spot for your morning coffee. There is space for an oven with integrated appliances such as a Zanussi microwave and Neff dishwasher neatly housed with bold coloured glass splash backs behind that contrast beautifully with the neutral cupboards and black speckled granite. The streamlined cupboards, some of which are glazed and back lit, provide ample storage and space and plumbing for a washing machine.

A turning staircase flooded with light from its landing window draws you up to the immaculate first floor rooms.

There are four bedrooms, three of which are generous doubles, one with an en-suite and all with large windows, the back two enjoying views across the playing fields behind.

Completing the floor is the family bathroom which is bright and modern with a shower over its bath.

A further flight of stairs takes you up to the second floor and the principal bedroom suite. An en-suite to the left delivers luxury with a freestanding double ended bath and walk-in shower cubicle with rainwater shower head.

Opposite, the principal bedroom with French doors and a glazed Juliet balcony enjoys far reaching green views, a dressing area with bespoke fitted wardrobes and a large walk-in wardrobe.

The sunny south facing garden is fully enclosed making it a safe sanctuary for children and pets. It is mostly laid to lawn with some planting and a wooden gate to the rear cleverly gives access to the allotments at the back. A paved terrace that sits behind the house is perfect for summer entertaining and there is access to the garage, which deals with all your storage issues.

This home certainly delights in delivering a luxury family lifestyle that you could move straight in and enjoy. It is also ideally located being a stone's throw from easy access to the M25, fast rail connections to central London and first-class schools. A must see!
