Holden Corner, Southborough

SOLD BY FLYING FISH PROPERTIES This charming home is neatly tucked away from the hustle and bustle of life, down a quiet street behind the picturesque village pond. However, it delivers the best of both worlds as it is also a short walk from local shops, sought after schools and excellent transport links.

It has been extended and sympathetically modernised with crisp white walls contrasting beautifully with warm wooden flooring, exposed brick and period features.

Off street parking for two cars fronts the house with the pretty garden sat neatly to the side.

A beautiful wooden door opens into a wide entrance hallway, brightened by a side window overlooking the garden.

First on the right, overlooking the quiet tree lined street, is the living room. It is a welcoming space with wooden flooring, alcove mid height wooden cabinets and a fireplace with a tiled hearth and surround adding character and warmth in the colder months.

At the rear is the spacious kitchen/dining room which is charming and well designed. Its cream base level cabinetry beautifully contrasts with the wooden flooring and counter tops. A Belfast sink sits to the side with under counter space for a dishwasher. The well defined dining space is framed by an exposed brick chimney breast and a deep under stair storage cupboard offers plenty of storage. There is space for additional appliances and the opportunity to enhance what is already a very stylish space. French doors at the side flood the room with light and give garden access.

Beyond is the utility room, with another sink for muddy boots and paws, additional cupboards and space for an appliance.

Next door is the spacious bathroom which has a shower cubicle, bath and a long vanity unit with a wash hand basin above and cupboards under.

Returning to the hallway and climbing the stairs to the first floor, there are two graceful double bedrooms both of which have large windows drawing in light and views.

Outside the sunny garden is fully enclosed offering a safe sanctuary for pets and children. Mature stocked flower beds edge the area of lawn and there is a gravelled space around the house that serves as seating area or storage space.

This fabulous period home, close to Holden Pond and opposite the woodland and green common beyond, is welcoming, spacious and well-presented; perfect to move in straight away. A must see!

Southborough lies just a couple of miles north outside the historic spa town of Tunbridge Wells with its big retail names and its Georgian colonnade, the Pantiles, offering a vibrant café culture.

It also sits just south of Tonbridge, with the A26 passing through it offering easy access to the A21 which leads to the M25.

Southborough Common, situated towards Holden Corner's end of the village, is a conservation area where cricket has been played for more than 200 years.

If you're a runner, dog owner or casual walker, the woodland area of the Southborough Common, nestled behind St. Peters Church, is a very beautiful space. Ancient and young trees slope down to a stream with access to Holden Pond and Bidborough and Speldhurst villages beyond.

Excellent secondary, independent, preparatory and private schools can be found in both Tunbridge Wells and Tonbridge, while Southborough and Bidborough have their very own primary schools. Holden Corner is also within the catchment areas for the 6 highly regarded and sought-after Tunbridge Wells and Tonbridge Grammar Schools.
