Shipbourne Road, Tonbridge, Kent

Surrounded by woodland and farmland within the Kent Downs National Landscape is the superb Dene Park estate that incorporates a community of exclusive properties. It is approached through electrically operated wrought iron gates with a video entry system that led to about four acres of attractive and spacious communal grounds that include sweeping lawns, magnificent trees, delightful shrub beds, seating areas and a hard tennis court which can be enjoyed by all the residents.

One of the properties is this well-maintained three storey mews house with charming external accoutrements including attractive brickwork, stone architraves and roof and dormer finials, while period features continue inside with panelled doors, high skirting boards, solid wood flooring and corniced ceilings. The front door opens into a hallway with stairs to the upper floors, a cloakroom, a laundry cupboard, underfloor heating that flows throughout the ground and second floors plus double doors to the stunning triple aspect open plan living space. It features a seating area with French doors to the private terrace, a dining area adjacent to the kitchen with stained glass windows and a modern fireplace flanked by fitted shelving. The kitchen has shaker style cabinets with quartz worktops housing various Miele appliances.

The first floor has a stylish family bathroom, a double bedroom with fitted cupboards and wonderful view. While the principal suite features fitted wardrobes, an en-suite shower room and French doors to a spacious balcony where you enjoy the panoramic vista and stunning sun rises. On the second floor is another double bedroom with a vaulted ceiling, Velux windows, fitted cupboards and far-reaching views. There is a garage en bloc, a designated parking space and visitor parking. Adjacent to the property is the private west-facing terrace with shrub borders surrounded by a stone balustrade and steps to the communal grounds.

What the Owner says:

We have thoroughly enjoyed our eight years here and, even now, every time we return home and see the grounds, we still love it just as much as we did when we first came here. The sunset view is consistently phenomenal and the woodland park a few minutes away provides a delightful walk with the dog, not to mention our lovely neighbours and community on the estate. But as the kids are now at university, we are free to return to our homeland and let new owners experience everything that has made this such a beautiful home.
