This wonderful home is opposite the picturesque village pond, with the woodland and green common behind. However, it enjoys the best of both worlds as it is also a short walk from local shops, sought after schools and excellent transport links.
Deceptively spacious, the current owner has exceptionally renovated it to provide a contemporary family style of living.
Its red brick exterior is set back from the street by a driving space to the front, with stone steps leading up to the entrance door.
Stepping into the hallway there are under stair cupboards to keep the space clutter free and an open plan aspect to its reception room gives a true sense of light and space.
On the right is the charming living room. It is a welcoming space with warm wooden flooring, bespoke alcove cabinetry and a fireplace with a wood burning stove to add warmth in the colder months.
At the rear is the kitchen/dining room with access into the garden. It is a generous space with plenty of room for a table and chairs and an island offers ample room for food preparation and housing for appliances. The kitchen area forms an open U shape to the side with an integrated double oven, and dishwasher, a Belfast sink placed under the window and ample cupboard space and open wall shelving for all your culinary needs. The open plan aspect of the room makes it a very social space, perfect for chatting to family and friends as you prepare dinner.
Returning to the hallway and climbing the stairs to the first floor there are two bedrooms, both immaculate doubles with a restful feel and green views.
A room to the side that is currently set up as a dressing room but that could easily double as a home office, is next door to the stylish and contemporary bathroom with shower over the bath.
A further flight of stairs takes you up to the second floor's dual aspect double bedroom, with eaves storage and a modern en-suite shower room.
Outside the sunny rear garden has been thoughtfully landscaped with tiers of paved terracing and artificial lawned areas gently rising, surrounded by pretty planting and wooden fencing, making it safely enclosed for pets and children. There is a wooden shed and a brick outbuilding for storage.
This fabulous home is welcoming, spacious and well-presented; perfect to move in straight away. A must see!

Area Information: Southborough Common, Tunbridge Wells
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 nearby, 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, opposite the house, 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.
The nearest mainline station to Southborough is at High Brooms, about a mile away, with fast and frequent train services to London Charing Cross. There are also mainline stations on the same line at Tonbridge and Tunbridge Wells. Tonbridge Station is just over 2 miles away and with two lines passing through, it provides on average 34 trains a day from Tonbridge to London Bridge in as little as 40 minute journeys. If that isn't enough, you can fall out of your door in the morning onto a luxury coach service straight to Canary Wharf, the City, Embankment and other central London destinations at half the cost of rail travel enabling you to slumber or work using its Wi-Fi connectivity as you travel.
