Pennington Place, Southborough, Tunbridge Wells

SOLD BY FLYING FISH PROPERTIES TUNBRIDGE WELLS This fantastic house, surrounded by leafy woodland and open countryside, is on a quiet cul de sac, in an idyllic semi-rural setting.

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.

The house itself offers contemporary living with a layout and flow that are ideal for family life.

A block brick driveway with parking for several cars leads you up to the house, with an integrated garage sat neatly to the side.

The entrance door opens into a light and spacious hallway, with a useful guest cloakroom and fitted cupboards to keep the space clutter free.

First on the left is the family room with its unique triple height windows flooding the space with light. It is a very versatile room, and it could easily double as a home office, a playroom, or an informal TV room for older children.

Across the hallway is the spacious living room. It is a welcoming space with double aspect light and has plenty of space for furniture, for family living and entertaining.

Opening to the rear is the dining room with a wall of bi fold doors offering green garden views as you dine and access onto the decked sun terrace.

Conveniently placed next door, also accessed from the hallway, is the fabulous kitchen/breakfast room. A mix of wooden and cream Shaker style cabinetry is topped with gleaming black granite and wooden work tops and houses integrated appliances, including Neff double ovens, 4 ring induction hob, Bosch dishwasher and a fridge. A breakfast bar with space for three bar stools lets friends and family sit and chat to you as you cook.

There is a home office to the rear with French doors that open into the garden and a separate utility room behind, with space and plumbing for appliances, an additional sink, and a door to the side garden for muddy boot and paws. It also gives access into the integral garage.

Climbing the stairs to the first floor, its landing flooded with light from its front window, there are four bedrooms, all beautifully presented, spacious and bright.

The principal bedroom with a modern en-suite and double wardrobes delivers spectacular countryside views.

The fourth bedroom also benefits from access to the en-suite shower room.

The immaculate family bathroom with a P shaped shower bath completes the first floor.

Outside, the enclosed rear garden offers a safe sanctuary for pets and children and is neatly laid to lawn with close boarded fencing and mature planting at all perimeters, with gated woodland access. Areas of paved terraces at the rear and side are perfect for summer dining and entertaining and there is plenty of room for children to play on. Mature stocked flower beds, vegetable beds and a greenhouse make it a gardener's dream and its woodland backdrop affords great privacy, enabling you to enjoy the pleasures of the countryside tranquillity the home enjoys.

This home really does offer a luxury family lifestyle that you could move straight in and enjoy. A must see!

Area Information: Southborough, Tunbridge Wells, Kent

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 property. 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 property'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.

Southborough enjoys many local independent shops with an award-winning hairdresser, The Gallery, and restaurant Tallow, which has just been named The Good Food Guide's Best UK Local Restaurant 2023 both are a short walk away. With additional convenience stores, a baker, a butcher, and pubs such as The Hand & Sceptre and The Imperial nearby, all your local needs are met.

The nearest mainline station to the property is at High Brooms, which has parking, with fast and frequent train services to London Waterloo East, Charing Cross, London Bridge, and Canon Street. The train line at Tonbridge Station is 2.7 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 at the end of Pennington Road, 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.
