London Road, Southborough

SOLD BY FLYING FISH PROPERTIES This immaculately presented 1930s bay fronted house has been extended and modernised by the current owners over the years to provide fantastic family accommodation with much character.

Stepping into the neat hallway with doors running off it at every angle, the home's substantial and spacious layout is clear. It is ideal for family life whilst delivering plenty of entertaining space too.

First on the left is a bright double aspect room currently set up as a home office but which would also make a perfect play room.

Across the hall is the spacious living room whose bay window, pretty stained glass windows and decorative tiled fireplace add immense character to the room. There is plenty of space for large family sofas to curl up in at the end of a long day.

Behind is the dining room which is flooded with natural light from its windows bringing glorious garden views in while underfloor heating provides a warm and inviting dining experience on a cold winter's evening.

Next door is the kitchen/dining room which delivers wonderful cooking facilities with warm wooden cabinets contrasting beautifully with the grey work tops and flooring. Glazed double doors lead out onto the decked terrace extending the living space in the warmer months. There is ample space for a large table and chairs to enjoy stunning garden views as you dine.

There is a useful guest cloakroom and a large separate utility space to the right which offers access to the garden, housing for extra appliances and a sink ideal for muddy boots or paws.

Up the carpeted stairs to the first floor there are four great double bedrooms which lead off the light and spacious landing.

The pretty master bedroom with stained glass windows enjoys stunning countryside views, a deep walk in wardrobe and a modern en-suite.

The large family bathroom delivers on all levels with a vanity unit, separate shower cubicle, bath and heated towel rail.

Outside to the rear is a glorious garden, which sits on a 0.4 acre plot, stretching down towards open countryside with unobstructed views. It is laid mainly to lawn and enjoys great privacy from its mature perimeter hedging and trees. A large wooden garden studio at the rear offers a great sanctuary as a home office, gym or den for teenage children. A further summer house, two brick sheds and a single garage satisfy all your storage needs.

This immaculate family home with stunning open countryside views is perfect for a growing family with easy access to the M25, fast rail connections to central London and first class schools close by. A must see!

Area Information: Southborough, Tunbridge Wells, Kent

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 Havens View 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. Havens View 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 Havens View is Tonbridge, which is approximately 1.3 miles away 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. There are also mainline stations at High Brooms and Tunbridge Wells. There is also a luxury coach service, that drops and collects at the bus stop over the road from Havens View, straight to Canary Wharf, the City, Embankment and other central London destinations. It is half the cost of rail travel enabling you to slumber or work using its Wi-Fi connectivity as you travel.
