Harland Way, Southborough, Tunbridge Wells, TN4

Elevated in a commanding position, with stunning countryside views to the front, this Spanish influenced home with its arched loggia and pretty ironwork balcony delivers plenty of kerb appeal.

It is set back from the road by a smart block brick driveway providing plenty of off-street parking, flanked by lush green planting, with double garages sat neatly to the side.

Stepping inside, a generous entrance hallway with oak wooden flooring showcases the spacious and flexible layout that the home offers over its three floors.

Through the garage to the right is a useful utility room with space and plumbing for appliances and a sink, perfect for muddy boots and paws.

As the two garages are both spacious and properly divided, they offer a great opportunity to develop one or both into habitable space, such as a gym or home office.

Returning to the hallway, there is a generous double bedroom at the rear with an en-suite shower room and access into a large cellar, currently used to store wine.

Climbing the stairs to the first floor there are two double bedrooms, both with fitted wardrobes, with the principal bedroom enjoying wonderful unobstructed countryside views.

Opposite, the bright living room enjoys double aspect light with glazed sliding doors at the rear opening into the garden. There is a stone enclosed fireplace to add warmth and character in the colder months and its open plan aspect to the dining room makes it a fantastic space for both family living and entertaining.

The dining room has plenty of room for a large table and chairs and the sliding doors to the front open onto the sit on balcony to enjoy the countryside views.

The kitchen/breakfast room, conveniently placed next door to the dining room, is brightened by the part glazed door and window that offer garden access and green views. There are plenty of cupboards, worktop space, space for a range oven and an integrated fridge/freezer. A peninsula breakfast bar with space for up to four bar stools is perfect for informal dining or your morning coffee.

Outside the west facing garden is a green oasis with an expanse of manicured lawn edged by pretty stocked flower beds, high hedging and a variety of trees.

Decked and paved terraces sit at the rear of the house, prefect for summer dining, and a charming wooden bridge passes over the two ponds. At the rear there is a paved seating area covered by a beautiful metal pergola, an area for composting and a wooden shed. There is also a greenhouse, and the garden is fully enclosed, making it a safe sanctuary for pets and children.

Perfectly positioned, this fantastic home enjoys open countryside on its doorstep but is also a stone`s throw from easy access to the M25, fast rail connections to central London and first-class schools, making it the perfect home for families with professional needs. A must see!

Southborough is just a couple of miles outside the historic spa town of Tunbridge Wells. It sits immediately to the north of Tunbridge Wells and just south of Tonbridge, with the A26 passing through it. Southborough`s location allows easy access to the A21 which leads to the M25.

Southborough Common, situated near to the property, is a conservation area where cricket has been played for more than 200 years. Southborough Cricket Club is still very much a vibrant community club.

If you`re a runner or casual walker, the woodland area of the Southborough Common, which is near the property, is a very beautiful space. It is nestled behind St. Peters Church, and it is a delightful broadleaf woodland featuring ancient and young trees sloping down to a stream.

Birch Wood, within walking distance of the property, is in the valley between Southborough and Bidborough.
