St Andrews Park Road, Southborough, Tunbridge Wells

Sat at the end of its quiet residential cul-de-sac, this fantastic family home`s two gabled roofs and double bay windows deliver plenty of kerb appeal.

It is set back from the road by a block brick driveway with parking for several vehicles, its integral garage store room placed neatly to the side.

A part-stained glass door opens into the inner porch, perfect for coats and shoes, with doors that open into the wide entrance hallway and a guest cloakroom to the side.

First on the right is the sitting room with a bay window which overlooks the street and draws light into the room. It is a welcoming space with wooden flooring and a wood burning stove.

Behind is the spacious living room with French doors that open into the garden and another wood burning stove that adds character and warmth. Its generous size provides plenty of room for family sofas and additional furniture.

Across the hallway, past a useful walk-in cupboard housing the water cylinder with space for storage, is the fantastic kitchen/breakfast room that opens into the family/dining room.

It truly delivers the wow factor both in terms of its impressive size and creative design. Brightened by gable windows offering tree top views, bi-fold doors opening at two angles can lie open extending the living space into the garden in the summer months.

The dimensions of the room cleverly define a dining area with ample space for a table and chairs and a seating area, creating superb family living and entertaining space.

The kitchen is beautifully finished with bespoke oak wooden cabinets topped with gleaming granite work tops. An island with room for two bar stools, double Belfast sinks, an induction hob and downdraft extractor, is the perfect spot for your morning coffee. The streamlined units on the back walls provide space for an American style fridge/freezer, housing for the integrated Zanussi ovens and plenty of storage.

Off the kitchen is a separate spacious utility area with another sink, ideal for muddy boots and paws, additional storage, and access into the garage store room to the front.

Climbing the stairs to the first floor landing, there is the perfect spot to the rear for home working, and three generous sized double bedrooms, one with fitted wardrobes and an en-suite bathroom.

A separate shower room with walk in shower enclosure completes the floor.

A further flight of stairs takes you up to the second floor`s principal bedroom suite. Neutral décor contrasts beautifully with the warm wooden flooring and its dual aspect light brightens the space and offers wonderful green views to the rear.

A walk in dressing area with deep eaves storage and an en-suite bathroom with a freestanding bath and shower enclosure both add to the feeling of luxury that the room certainly delivers on.

Outside the beautiful east facing garden is a visual delight with mature planting, trees for privacy, manicured lawns, and a paved terrace beside the house, perfect for summer dining. A part glazed summer house provides respite from the midday sun or a playhouse for the kids and a curved pathway meanders to the rear with gated access into the recreational grounds behind.

This home certainly delights in delivering a family lifestyle that you could move straight in and enjoy. It is also ideally located being a stone`s throw from easy access to the M25, fast rail connections to central London and first-class schools. A must see!

The Yew Tree and Ridgewaye Playing Fields are also close by, with open green spaces for walking and recreational sport. There are also allotments either side of the fields allowing you to grow your own fruit and vegetables on your doorstep.

Southborough Common, situated north 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. St Andrews Park Road is also within the catchment areas for the 6 highly regarded and sought-after Tunbridge Wells and Tonbridge Grammar Schools.
