Sheffield Road, Southborough, Tunbridge Wells

Arranged over four floors, this beautiful house, lovingly owned by the same family for nearly three decades, offers flexible accommodation in a sought after road, close to popular schools.

Its handsome painted exterior with steep gabled roof is set back from the road behind a block brick driveway. An enclosed tiled pathway to the side welcomes you up to its entrance door, with open access to the rear garden.

First on the left is the living room, classically elegant with a window overlooking the street and a wood burning stove set in an exposed brick chimney breast that adds character and warmth in the colder months. Fitted alcove cabinetry provides storage and with plenty of room for sofas, it is the perfect space for family living.

Opposite is the dining room, conveniently placed next to the kitchen. French doors opening into the garden flood the room with light for enjoyable dining experiences.

The streamlined kitchen at the rear offers an abundance of cream cabinetry topped with countertops. There is an integrated oven and gas hob, and ample space for freestanding appliances. The sink sits under a window and warm wooden flooring adds to the country style feeling.

Behind is the utility room with guest cloakroom facilities.

Returning to the dining room, down a flight of stairs, with hanging space for coats, you reach the family room that adds a wonderful modern twist for the family. It is a versatile room and could be used as a home studio for your creativity, a home office, a den for teenage children or a playroom for younger ones.

Climbing the stairs to the first floor there are two bedrooms, both brightened by large windows. The principal bedroom at the front extends the width of the house and with fitted wardrobes and a walk in closet, its graceful proportions give a very tranquil feeling.

Across the landing is the family bathroom with a shower over its wooden panel enclosed bath and a rear aspect window that reflects light off its white fittings and contemporary tiles for a soothing bathing experience.

Up a further flight of stairs to the second floor are two further bedrooms, delivering all your family needs.

Outside the delightful garden has a paved terrace beside the house, perfect for summer dining, an area of lawn for the children to play on and a wooden shed for storage. Planting adds interest and colour, and it is fully enclosed making a safe sanctuary for pets and children.

This fabulous period home is within walking distance of the local shops, popular schools, and excellent travel links. A must see!
