SOLD BY FLYING FISH PROPERTIES TUNBRIDGE WELLS This fantastic family home is on a quiet and friendly cul-de-sac in a sought-after area that presents a perfect dynamic of excellent schools, superb transport links and stunning open countryside views to the rear.

A neat lawned area edged with pretty flower beds and fruit trees fronts this home's double bay fronted exterior.

Its double garages with off street parking sit neatly to the side.

Stepping into the hallway, with a useful guest cloakroom, there are rooms running off it at every angle, offering spacious and flexible accommodation.

First on the right, light pours into the sitting room through its bay window overlooking the street. It is a welcoming space with plenty of room for large sofas to relax in.

Behind is a reception room, currently set up as a sewing room, with a connected shower room. It could easily double as a home office or a playroom for the children.

Next door the family room benefits from a porched front entrance door and glazed doors to the rear opening onto the balcony, delivering wonderful garden views.

Given the space, layout and private entrance, these rooms offer plenty of opportunity to redefine and remodel the space, depending on your needs.

Returning to the hallway and opposite is the spacious living/dining room with another beautiful bay window. It is a superb space, its open plan layout and glazed rear doors conveniently opening into the kitchen making it perfect for entertaining and family life in equal measure.

The streamlined kitchen is bright and spacious with plenty of eye and base level cupboards topped with contrasting countertops that separate integrated appliances. A vaulted ceiling with Velux windows adds to the feeling of light and space and a second sink, open access into the breakfast room at the side and garden access at both sides makes it a very family friendly space.

Climbing the stairs to the first floor, brightened by a front aspect window, the landing has fitted cupboards and a ceiling access hatch with a drop-down ladder into the loft.

The principal bedroom is at the rear with glorious open countryside views, two sets of fitted wardrobes and a large en-suite bathroom. It also connects to a further dual aspect room that is currently set up as a home office but would also make a superb dressing room or even a nursery.

There are three further bedrooms, two of which are generous doubles, all with large windows and wonderful views.

Completing the floor is a family bathroom with a shower over the bath and a side aspect window delivering lots of natural light.

This fantastic house is surrounded by open farmland and woodland walks so that you can enjoy a relaxed family life.

It also enjoys a beautiful landscaped garden, with lush green lawns and a variety of colourful plants, flowers, shrubbery and vegetable patches. Paved terracing sits at various positions in the garden to enjoy vantage points of sunny unobstructed views.

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 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 house. 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 house'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.

The nearest mainline station to Southborough is at High Brooms with fast and frequent train services to London Charing Cross, London Bridge, Canon Street and Victoria. There are also mainline stations on the same line at Tonbridge and Tunbridge Wells. Tonbridge Station is 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 40-minute journeys. There is also a luxury coach service, which drops up and collects near to the property, 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.
