Summerhill Avenue, Southborough, Tunbridge Wells (high specification)

This fantastic house has undergone a complete renovation by the current owners to provide a flawlessly finished home that offers a luxury family lifestyle that you could move straight in and enjoy.

A double bay and part hung tile exterior delivers plenty of kerb appeal, with a neat block brick driveway providing off street parking.

The covered entrance door welcomes you into its immaculate hallway, its warm wooden effect parquet flooring brightened by opaque glazing. There are under stair cupboards, providing useful storage, and a guest cloakroom too.

It is immediately apparent that the owner's eye for detail has created a relaxing space with neutral tones and contemporary accents seamlessly connecting each room.

First on the right, light pours into the living room through its bay window overlooking the quiet residential street. It is an exceptionally welcoming space with stylish décor, fitted alcove cupboards and a beautiful, exposed brick chimney breast housing a real wood fire.

At the end of the hallway, is the stunning kitchen/dining/family room. The space is cleverly zoned with a wood burning stove and alcove cabinetry, for cosy family evenings in.

Opening directly off it, is the dining area with space for a large table and chairs. Bi-fold doors and a large Velux window flood the room with light and its open plan layout makes it a fantastic space for both family living and entertaining.

The stylish and streamlined kitchen is well designed with plenty of cabinets topped off with a mix of wooden and granite composite work tops. The room is dappled with light from the rear aspect and overhead Velux window. Integrated appliances such as the Neff double oven and hob and Bosch dishwasher make it a cook's dream. The Belfast sink is placed cleverly under the window, letting you watch the children play as you wash up. A breakfast bar with pan drawers, a pull-out bin and cupboards make it a very versatile space and there is room for an American fridge/freezer, beside a larder cupboard.

There is a separate utility room with garden access, space and plumbing for appliances and another sink for muddy boots and paws.

Climbing the stairs to the first floor there are three bedrooms, all immaculately decorated with large windows. Two are generous doubles while the third is currently set up as a home office.

Across the landing is the modern family bathroom with a separate bath and shower cubicle. Double aspect windows reflect light off its white fittings and contemporary tiles for a soothing bathing experience.

Up a further flight of stairs to the second floor is the principal bedroom suite. Its graceful proportions, wooden flooring, double aspect windows, wood burning stove and en-suite make it a romantic and restful retreat. Should you require a 5th bedroom, there is a simple option to add a partition wall, small landing and corridor to the bathroom.

Outside the garden's paved and enclosed terrace leads down to an area of lawn with planting, trees, a wooden shed, and a bark filled children's play area. It is safely enclosed on all sides offering a sanctuary for children and pets and there is street access to the side too.

This fabulous home is a short walk from first class schools and excellent transport links making it perfect for families with professional needs. A must see!

Area Information: Southborough, 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 towards Summerhill Avenue'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. Summerhill Avenue 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 35-minute journeys. There is also a luxury coach service, that drops and collects at a bus stop close to the property on the London Road, which travels straight to Canary Wharf, the City, the 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.
