London Road, Southborough, Tunbridge Wells, TN4

This beautiful property gracefully combines historic charm with family friendly living in an idyllic semi-rural setting.

It is surrounded by open countryside, but it is also a stone`s throw from easy access to the M25 and fast rail connections to central London.

A sweeping driveway takes you up to the house, past the detached double garage with the rolling lawns to the side.

Its combination of red brick, part hung tiles, unique windows and double gabled roof points offers a striking first impression.

Stepping inside, the generous reception hallway with a double sided wood burning stove creates an informal family space that is very welcoming.

To the left is the substantial home office that enjoys triple aspect views and plenty of storage, both open and closed. The bold d?cor is sympathetic to the age of this part of the house and gives a classic feel to the room.

Returning to the hallway, past a useful guest cloakroom, the dining room is at the rear. Warm wooden effect flooring contrasts beautifully with the neutral paint colours and a large mantelpiece and part glazed fitted storage unit adds charm to dining experiences.

Next door the spacious living room is brightened by its square bay window and a wood burning stove provides warmth in the colder months. There is plenty of space for family furniture to relax in.

Behind is the breakfast room with tiled flooring and French doors that can lie open extending the living space onto the garden terrace in the summer.

Opening to the side is the kitchen, which is a very social space given the open plan layout of the adjacent reception rooms. It is wonderfully bright with windows on three sides and French doors that open into the garden. Shaker style cabinetry is topped with contrasting granite worktops and there is space for appliances and a Belfast sink is placed under one of the windows.

Beyond is a separate utility room with an additional sink, perfect for muddy boots and paws, storage and room and plumbing for appliances.

A second cloakroom completes the floor.

Two sets of stairs at opposite ends of the house give access to the first floor`s five double bedrooms.

The principal bedroom has glorious garden views to the front and access into its modern en-suite shower room with a two-person shower enclosure.

There are four further bedrooms with one benefitting from its own en-suite shower room, and all enjoying leafy green countryside views.

The family bathroom has a freestanding double ended roll top bath and a separate shower cubicle.

Outside the garden lies mainly to the front and side of the house with an expanse of gently sloped lawn meeting fenced perimeters with trees, hedging and planting adding privacy, interest, and colour. There is a paved terrace to the side of the house, perfect for summer dining and the gravelled driveway provides parking for several cars.

With countryside views, and all your first-class schooling and transport needs on your doorstep, this substantial house is the perfect family home. A must see!

Area Information: Southborough, Tunbridge Wells

Southborough is just a couple of miles outside the historic spa town of Tunbridge Wells. Southborough 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 towards the Tonbridge end of the town, 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 are a runner or casual walker, the woodland area of the Southborough Common is a very beautiful space. The woodland area of Southborough Common, nestled behind St. Peters church, is a delightful broadleaf woodland featuring ancient and young trees sloping down to a stream.

Also, a mere 2 miles away is Haysden Country Park and Local Nature Reserve and open countryside which delivers nature in abundance to be enjoyed either cycling, walking or spotting wildlife. For recreational activities, there is the Tonbridge School gym, with its impressive facilities and indoor swimming pool and the Angel Sports Centre and the public swimming pool both based in the centre of Tonbridge. Nizels Golf & Country Club is a short drive away.

Secondary, independent, preparatory, and private schools can be found in both Tunbridge Wells and Tonbridge, while Southborough has its very own primary school and Bidborough Primary School is close by too. The property is also within the catchment areas for the main highly regarded and sought after Tonbridge and Tunbridge Wells Grammar Schools.

Tunbridge Wells is just over a mile away with big retail names. The nearest mainline station to the property is at Tonbridge which is 1.5 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 35-minute journeys. There is also a luxury coach service, which picks up and collects a short walk from 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.

The nearby A21 provides a direct link onto the M25 and other motorway networks, Gatwick and Heathrow Airports, and the Channel Tunnel Terminus.
