Harland Way, Southborough, Tunbridge Wells

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.

Sitting elevated and set back from the road by a driveway with off-street parking for multiple cars, this home`s contemporary exterior delivers plenty of kerb appeal.

The integral double garages that front the driveway offer spacious storage and are perfect for a multi car family. They also offer a great opportunity to fully or partially develop the area into habitable space, such as a home gym or annex for visiting guests or elderly family members.

Steps lead you up to a sit on balcony with glass balustrades that stretches across the front of the house.

Once inside, the wide entrance hallway showcases the spacious and flexible layout that the home offers over its four floors. Oak wooden flooring links the rooms that run off it at all angles and it is brightened by contemporary stained glass windows. There is a useful guest cloakroom and a cloakroom cupboard, to keep the space clutter free.

First on the right is the wonderful kitchen/breakfast room with countryside views and bi-folding doors that open onto the balcony. The kitchen is well equipped with glossy white cabinetry housing the integrated appliances topped with granite worktops. A peninsula houses the gas hob and provides additional storage while separating the cooking and dining areas. It is a cook`s dream with all the high-end integrated appliances that you would expect from a house of this quality including Bosch double ovens, microwave and dishwasher. The open plan aspect of the room makes it a very social space, perfect for chatting to friends and family as you prepare dinner.

Next door the separate utility room has space and plumbing for appliances, an additional sink, fitted storage cupboards and room for coats and muddy boots. It also gives access to the garden.

To the rear is the substantial and spacious living/dining room with a layout ideal for family life and entertaining. Two sets of bi-folding doors frame the garden view and can lie open in the summer months. The dimensions of the living space cleverly define a dining and seating area with ample space for sofas and a large dining table. A wood burning stove sits on the back wall, adding character and warmth.

Returning to the entrance hallway, stairs take you down to the lower ground floor with access into the integral double garage. Beyond is a cloakroom and the home office which is ideally placed away from the hustle and bustle of family life.

Climbing the stairs to the first floor there are three double bedrooms, all with en-suites. The glamorous principal bedroom suite has the luxury of a large dressing room which opens into its modern shower room.

A further flight of stairs takes you up to two additional double bedrooms with fitted cupboards and treetop views. A shower room completes the floor.

Outside to the rear is a large west facing garden that is laid mainly to lawn with trees and stocked flower beds dotted around adding interest and colour. A large, paved terrace at the rear of the house is perfect for summer entertaining. It is fully enclosed with fencing and high hedging providing privacy and a safe sanctuary for pets and children. There is a greenhouse, shed for storage and street access too.

This fantastic home provides a family lifestyle that you could move straight in and enjoy, in a popular village location. A must see!

Area Information: Southborough/Bidborough border, Tunbridge Wells, Kent

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. With its lovely lake, duck house, and array of pathways and bridges meandering through 17 acres, this wood is a haven for wildlife and a perfect place for local residents to enjoy the countryside.

Bidborough is an idyllic and pretty village in the borough of Tunbridge Wells, lying to the north of Tunbridge Wells town centre and to the south of Tonbridge town centre.

It has an active community with an historic church, a local primary school which is ranked by Ofsted as good, a petrol station, a local convenience store and a popular recently and extensively refurbished village pub, the `Kentish Hare`.

Parish sports facilities are good, and the village boasts a tennis court, a bowls green and two recreation ground areas, which are available for cricket and five-a-side football.

The area benefits from open countryside and sprawling woodland on its doorstep but it is also popular with commuters being only 1.8 miles from Tonbridge Station with its fast and frequent access into central London in 44 minutes.

It is also close to Gatwick Airport and with the A21 less than 2 miles away with access onto the M25 it provides quick road access into London too. There is also a luxury coach service, which drops 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.

Excellent local independent primary schools such as The Schools at Somerhill and Hilden Grange Primary sit alongside the highly regarded Bidborough, and Southborough primary schools and the sought-after girls` and boys` secondary grammar schools are also nearby.
