Manor Fields, Southborough, Tunbridge Wells

Tucked away on a quiet private road, this fantastic home's part gabled exterior of brick and hung tiles delivers plenty of kerb appeal.

It is set in a popular village location, within walking distance of Southborough's picturesque cricket green, woodland walks, and local village shops. However, it has the best of both worlds as it is a stone's throw from easy access to the M25, fast rail connections to central London and first-class schools.

There are two private block brick parking spaces, one in front of the garage that sits neatly to the side, with a gate for rear garden access and a visitor parking bay opposite.

An area of lawn fronts the house, with a paved pathway leading you to the covered entrance door that welcomes you in.

Arranged over three floors, you enter a light and spacious reception hallway with the home's décor throughout showcasing an elegant Farrow & Ball neutral palette.

There is a useful guest cloakroom and under stair and full height cupboards to keep the area clutter free. The ground floor is warmed throughout by underfloor heating.

First on the right double doors open into the bright family room. It is the perfect informal living space with fitted media units for display and storage.

Opposite is the spacious living room which is flooded with natural light from its dual aspect windows. There is plenty of room for large sofas to curl up in front of the wood burning stove, making it a very welcoming space. It has the added advantage of double doors to the rear which can lie open into the dining room, providing lots of family living and entertaining space.

Behind is the fabulous kitchen/dining room with French doors to the rear, extending the living space into the garden in the warmer months. The streamlined kitchen on the right offers an abundance of sleek cabinetry, counter space and integrated appliances including AEG double ovens, Hisense 4 ring induction hob and stainless-steel extractor, Baumatic dishwasher, and fridge/freezer. A breakfast bar overhang with space for bar stools lets friends sit and chat to you as you cook and the area to the side, perfect for a large table and chairs and sofa, means there is tons of space for both dining and living.

A separate utility room to the front has fitted cupboards, space and plumbing for appliances, an additional sink for muddy boots and paws and a door for driveway access.

Climbing the stairs to the first floor landing brightened by a front aspect window, there are rooms running off it on all sides.

All four bedrooms on this floor are generously sized doubles offering superb family accommodation. The two to the front have their own beautifully finished en-suites, with bedroom two benefitting from a walk-in wardrobe.

The immaculate family bathroom with a panel enclosed bath and separate shower enclosure completes the first floor.

A further flight of stairs to the second floor takes you up to a generous room that would make a fantastic games room or alternatively, depending on your needs a home office. There is also the possibility to add some Velux windows to the rear, subject to planning.

Completing the floor is the principal bedroom with modern en-suite and walk-in wardrobe, both adding to the feeling of luxury that the room delivers on.

Outside, the enclosed rear garden offers a safe sanctuary for pets and children and is neatly laid to lawn with a paved terrace by the house and close boarded fencing at all perimeters.

With planting and trees providing privacy, it is a blank canvas for you to create your own dream garden and it has street access and pedestrian access into the garage too.

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. Pennington Park and the Yew Tree and Ridgewaye Playing Fields are close by, with a children's playground, tennis courts and open green spaces for walking and recreational sport.

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. London Road 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 hairdressers, 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 Tonbridge, which has parking, and 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 High Brooms 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.
