Harland Way, Southborough/Bidborough Borders

SOLD BY FLYING FISH PROPERTIES With open countryside on its doorstep and being a stone's throw from easy access to the M25, fast rail connections to central London and first class schools, it is the perfect home for families with professional needs.

A sweeping driveway framed by flourishing trees welcomes you up to the house, its generous size immediately apparent. A large garage with back garden access sits neatly at the side of the house offering much needed storage and parking away from the ample driveway.

The wide entrance hallway is flooded with light from an abundance of windows from its living rooms which run off it at every angle. The home's substantial and spacious layout is ideal for family life and with two reception rooms and a separate study there is plenty of entertaining space too.

The spacious living-dining room's honey toned parquet floor is dappled in sunlight from its triple aspect leaded windows, its deep bay window at the back framing the lush rear garden. An open fire with wooden surround and green slate hearth provides a warm and inviting dining experience on a cold winter's evening.

Next door is a useful study with French doors opening onto the garden terrace enabling you to work in a light and airy space.

Across the hallway the kitchen's expanse of bespoke wooden cabinetry, state of the art fitted appliances and generous granite topped breakfast island create a sophisticated culinary space. Integrated Neff appliances including an induction hob, a warming drawer and a coffee machine make this kitchen a cook's dream. The large window above the sink brings the outside in enabling you to wash up under the stars as the children sit at the breakfast bar doing their homework.

Off the kitchen is a separate spacious utility area with garden access and a door leading into the second reception room.

The family room is easily accessed from both the utility and the entrance hall. With its practical wooden laminate flooring and front aspect window it provides ample space for large family sofas to curl up in at the end of a long day.

The wide and bright stairs take you up to the first floor past a cavernous walk in airing cupboard to the master bedroom and three double bedrooms, all beautifully presented, spacious and light, two of which have fitted wardrobes. The large family bathroom delivers on all levels with a bespoke vanity unit, separate cubicle with power shower, bath and heated towel rail. A dual aspect master bedroom suite with a wall of fitted wardrobes and a luxurious modern en-suite completes the first floor.

The garden is a green oasis providing a haven for goldfinches in the wilder areas away from the house whilst the manicured lawns and pond closer to the home make it perfect for alfresco dining. It is a pretty south west facing landscaped garden with lawn on a number of levels and a charming pond. A magical secret pathway meanders up behind the main lawn underneath a canopy of trees emerging at the top of the garden providing a perfect hideaway and adventure playground for kids to make childhood memories.

The home's garden offers privacy with treetop views and is beautifully presented making it perfect for summer entertaining whilst offering a picturesque view from the inside.

This bright, spacious, immaculate home is perfect for a growing family.
