With open farmland and woodland walks on its doorstep this home's tranquil cul-de-sac location offers the best of both worlds. You can enjoy a relaxed family life, whilst benefiting from excellent schools and superb transport links accessed via a nearby cut through.
The driveway sweeps upwards and fronts the double garages, with an area of lawn, a large weeping willow tree and stocked flower beds providing plenty of kerb appeal.
Its covered entrance door opens into the welcoming hallway, with a useful guest cloakroom and doors opening off it at every angle.
First on the right is the home office with fitted cabinetry, including a cloakroom cupboard.
Opposite to the front is the dining room. It is ideal for either family celebrations or entertaining and is situated conveniently across the hall from the kitchen.
Glazed double doors open into the spacious living room behind. It is flooded with sunlight from its rear aspect window and side aspect French doors that can lie open to extend the living space into the garden in the summer months. A wood burning stove adds character and warmth and fitted wooden cabinetry with open bookshelves provides plenty of storage.
Next door the wonderful kitchen opens into the conservatory/breakfast room making it perfect for family life. Painted bespoke cabinetry topped with wooden effect worktops offers housing for appliances and ample storage. It is a cook's dream with lots of food preparation space and a part glazed dresser unit with additional cupboards, drawers, and shelving. The open plan aspect of the room makes it a very social space, perfect for chatting to friends and family as you prepare dinner.
Opening to the rear is the conservatory/breakfast room with dual aspect garden views as you dine and French doors that open onto the paved terrace.
Climbing the stairs to the first floor there are four bedrooms, three of which are generous doubles, and the principal bedroom has the luxury of a shower room and two fitted wardrobes.
The family bathroom with its shower over the bath completes the floor.
Outside to the rear is a peaceful private garden. There are two tiers of lawn with trees, mature hedges and shrubs and stocked flower beds dotted around adding interest and colour. A large, paved terrace at the rear of the house is perfect for seating and summer dining. It is fully enclosed with fencing and high hedging providing privacy and a safe sanctuary for pets and children. There is street access to the side too.
With a family lifestyle that you could move straight in and enjoy, a popular village location and all your first-class schooling and transport needs on your doorstep, this is the perfect home. 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 Hub with its new medical centre, library, theatre/hall, coffee shop, community rooms, and town council offices, together with retail space is within walking distance of the property. The Yew Tree and Ridgewaye Playing Fields are also close by, with open green spaces for walking and recreational sport. There are also allotments either side of the fields allowing you to grow your own fruit and vegetables on your doorstep.
Southborough Common, situated towards the property'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. The property is also within the catchment areas for the 6 highly regarded and sought-after Tunbridge Wells and Tonbridge Grammar Schools.
Southborough enjoys many local independent shops with an award-winning hairdresser, The Gallery, and restaurant Tallow, which has just been named The Good Food Guide's Best UK Local Restaurant 2023 both are a short walk away. With additional convenience stores, a baker, a butcher, and pubs such as The Hand & Sceptre and The Imperial nearby, all your local needs are met.
The nearest mainline station to the property is at High Brooms, which has parking, with fast and frequent train services to London Waterloo East, Charing Cross, London Bridge, and Canon Street. The train line at Tonbridge Station is 2.7 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. There is also a luxury coach service, which drops up and collects at the end of Pennington Road, 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.
