SOLD BY FLYING FISH PROPETIES TONBRIDGE This charming semi-detached Victorian house is set on a popular residential street only a stone's throw away from the centre of Tonbridge with its excellent commuter links, popular schools and bustling town centre.
Set back from its tree lined road by a low brick wall, this home's handsome red brick exterior and pretty bay window provides plenty of kerb appeal.
A part glazed entrance door welcomes you into a bright hallway with warm wooden flooring.
First on the left is the immaculate living room, its shuttered bay window flooding the room with light. Bespoke alcove cabinetry, a wood burning stove and ample room for deep sofas make it a very welcoming space.
Behind is the dining room, conveniently placed next door to the kitchen. A large window to the rear brightens the room making it the perfect space for family living and entertaining.
At the rear is the streamlined kitchen. There are plenty of white units and contrasting work tops, and integrated Neff appliances such as an oven in a tall housing unit, dishwasher, washing machine, gas hob and overhead extractor. The room feels very light with double aspect windows, its glazed doors at the back opening into the garden.
Climbing the stairs to the first floor there are three bedrooms, two of which are doubles, all with neutral décor and large windows that give a very tranquil feeling. The principal bedroom benefits from two windows overlooking the street.
The modern bathroom has a side aspect window bringing in natural light and a shower over the bath.
Outside to the rear is an enclosed garden which is fully paved making it wonderfully low maintenance and perfect for relaxing in the summer months. It also benefits from front street access and a wide side return, which offers great storage or development opportunities.
Mabledon Road is superbly located for a host of popular nurseries, primary, secondary and grammar schools. The popular Sussex Road Primary School is opposite. It is also close to all of Tonbridge's local amenities and the mainline railway station making it well served for leisure facilities and transport links.
This property offers an immaculate interior that you could move straight in and enjoy but it also has the potential to extend, subject to consents, to add space and value for the future. A must see!
