Edward Street, Southborough, Tunbridge Wells

Set back from the road by a low wall with an area of grass behind, this home's handsome red brick double bay exterior leads you up its paved pathway to a smart entrance door.

It has been beautifully renovated to create an elegant, light filled interior that delivers a family friendly contemporary style of living.

First on your right is the charming living room at the front of the house. It is a cosy retreat with its large bay window bringing in lots of natural light while the wood burning stove offers warmth in the colder months.

To the rear is the fabulous open plan family, kitchen, dining room. It really is a show stopper both in terms of its design and high-quality fittings with glazed doors extending the living space onto the garden terrace.

The well-defined dining area, with plenty of space for a table and chairs, extends into a further open plan space for sofas, making it perfect for family living and entertaining.

Conveniently placed behind is the kitchen which is sleek and stylish. Glossy curved grey base level units contrast beautifully with the lighter counter tops and contemporary subway tiled splash backs. High end Bosch integrated appliances, including two full-size ovens, deliver your every need. A large window above the sink brings views of the garden in enabling you to watch the kids play as you wash up.

There is also a cleverly separated utility space with room for appliances and a door giving garden access.

Behind is the smart bathroom with a panel enclosed bath with shower over and windows bringing in lots of natural light.

Climbing the stairs to the first floor there are three immaculate bedrooms flooded with light with the front bedroom stretching the width of the house and delighting in a shuttered deep bay window.

A further flight of stairs takes you up to the second floor's spacious principal bedroom with dual aspect light and eaves storage.

With a walk-in wardrobe on the landing behind and a modern shower room, this recent loft extension has added incredible space and value to the property.

This fantastic family home has the advantage of a lovely low maintenance garden that is accessed directly off the utility area and glazed doors from the dining/family room. It is fully enclosed making it a safe sanctuary for pets and children with a playful lawned area and paved terracing, perfect for summer dining or evening entertainment.

Set on a popular residential street only a short walk from local shops, sought after schools and excellent transport links this beautifully presented home has been well thought out and sensitively planned for modern family life. A must see!

Southborough Common, near to the property, is a conservation area where cricket has been played for more than 200 years.

If you're a runner, dog owner or casual walker, opposite the property 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.
