A substantial, detached family house in this highly regarded location in Southborough.

Description

Substantial family home has been expanded and adapted for modern family living and is set in a highly sought-after location in Southborough.

This light, airy, and very spacious home enjoys generously proportioned rooms and is immaculately presented throughout with contemporary fittings and finishes, including a beautifully appointed Tom Howley kitchen. Considerable thought has been given to creating a flexible layout that is well-suited to both modern family living and entertaining.
Built in the 1980s, the current owners have comprehensively renovated, modernised, and remodelled the property with great style and attention to detail. A wonderful kitchen/family room has been added to the rear of the house, opening out via full-width bi-fold doors to a stunning patio, forming a seamless transition to the recently landscaped south-facing rear garden.

The bespoke, handmade, and cleverly designed Tom Howley kitchen features cabinetry that comprises wall units with appliance sockets, pan drawers with hidden cutlery drawers, a large housekeeper's cupboard, and a breakfast bar with integrated storage. There is plenty of preparation space on organic white quartz worktop , along with integrated appliances including a full-sized fridge, freestanding American freezer, two dishwasher, double ovens, and an electric hob. The boiling hot water tap over the double inset ceramic sink is not only convenient but also gives the kitchen a contemporary touch.

Benefiting from free-flowing accommodation, the ground floor comprises an attractive living area adjacent to the bi-fold doors, providing a view over and opening onto the garden beyond. A versatile ground floor room, currently dressed as a study, could act as a sixth bedroom with an en-suite shower room to suit individual needs. A charming sitting room with decorative beaded panels and built in storage completes the ground floor.

The first floor comprises four light, spacious double bedrooms, one of which is en-suite, in addition to a well-appointed family bathroom. The principal suite is located on the second floor, the bedroom features a striking feature window, providing a pleasant view over the garden and neighbouring woods. It also includes a dressing area and fitted wardrobes, creating a wonderful retreat, along with a stylish shower room within the suite that boasts an eye-catching vanity unit.

Outside, the generous garden is a particular feature of the house, with a good expanse of lawn, perfect for children’s play. There is a large paved terrace, ideal for entertaining on both a large and intimate scale. The property is approached over a driveway providing off-street parking for several cars. A path leads down the side of the house through a close-boarded gate to the rear garden. Furthermore, valuable assets include a double garage with new doors.
