What the vendors had to say about their lovely home.

We bought Magnolia House 25 years ago, we were attracted to the house as it was charming, full of character and in a great location. We named the house after the gorgeous magnolia tree in the front garden.

We have sympathetically modernised and renovated the property to suit our growing family. We expanded the house with a double storey extension providing ample comfortable living space both inside and outside for family living as well as entertaining. 

It has been the perfect house in the perfect location for us.  Nestled neatly above Southborough common, we enjoy beautiful woodland walks and often embrace a quintessential English cricket game on the village Green.  We are surrounded by fantastic primary schools and 6 excellent Grammar schools, some of which are within walking distance. On the doorstep there is a wonderful children's play park, including free tennis courts and gym equipment. In the local vicinity there are some great restaurants, pubs and local shops. 

As a family we have benefitted from the great transport connections which have made is easy to nip into Tonbridge or Tunbridge wells, by car or bus, with the bus stop just a stones throw away.  Easy commute to London is effortless with the choice of 3 train stations within a couple of miles,  not to mention the A21 a few minutes drive away.

The Property
