Holden Road, Southborough, Tunbridge Wells

SOLD BY FLYING FISH PROPERTIES TUNBRIDGE WELLS Set back from the road behind a neat driveway, a walled lawned garden to the side, this double bay fronted house delivers plenty of kerb appeal.

It sits on a quiet residential street, in an area of outstanding natural beauty with leafy woodland, a picturesque pond and the green common nearby.

The house enjoys views of the woodland opposite with its labyrinth of footpaths twisting and winding up behind the Church and village cricket green. However, it is also a stone's throw from easy access to the M25, fast rail connections to central London and first-class schools.

Stepping inside, the bright living room is on the right with natural light flooding in through its bay window. Folding internal doors can either lie open or closed, extending the space into the dining room and garden room beyond. It is a very social space, ideal for family living and entertaining and there is plenty of room for family sofas. A fireplace with a wood burning stove adds warmth in the colder months.

To the rear, the dining room, which is conveniently placed next to the kitchen, borrows light and garden views from the garden room behind enhancing dining experiences.

The garden room at the back is a very versatile space and could be used as a playroom for the children or somewhere to relax and enjoy the garden views.

The kitchen/breakfast room is on the left. It delivers wonderful cooking facilities with cream cabinets topped with beautiful Silestone Quartz work tops, contrasting wall colours and warm wooden effect flooring. It is a bright space with a Velux window and an additional window placed above the sink and a part glazed door that gives garden access. It is well designed with larder cupboards, pull out corner cupboards, pull out bins and ample storage that houses integrated Siemens appliances, making it a cook's dream. A deep utility cupboard has space for an appliance, a countertop and fitted shelving.

On the far right of the house is a useful guest cloakroom, a much needed home office and access into the garage/workshop to the front.

Climbing the stairs to the first floor there are three bedrooms, two of which are generous doubles with fitted storage, which lead off the light and spacious landing.

The bedrooms at the front offer wonderful leafy woodland views and all bedrooms are brightened by large windows.

Completing the floor is the modern bathroom with a separate shower cubicle and corner bath and a rear aspect window reflecting light off its fittings for a soothing bathing experience.

The garden has a variety of mature trees, including Silver Birch, plants and stocked flower beds which add interest, whilst a lawned area is perfect for the children to play on. A paved terrace at the rear of the house is ideal for summer entertaining and the garden is safely enclosed for children and pets.
