Pennington Road, Southborough, Tunbridge Wells

Tucked away on a quiet private road surrounded by woodland, the crisp and contemporary appearance of this home as you approach is very impressive.

The home has been built with an eco-friendly design at its core adding comfort and value. From its photovoltaic solar roof panels, battery for electricity storage, energy efficient glazing, air source heat source pump, underfloor heating, whole house water filtration system and high level of insulation, which promotes a healthy environment with many energy saving factors.

Wooden cladding to the first floor sits slightly proud of the lower level, while large panes of glass reflect the leafy woodland back at the house and give far reaching views of the adjacent woodland and fields beyond.

A shared driveway leads down to the driveway that fronts the house, with gated rear garden access to both sides.

Impressive double height glazing welcomes you into the high ceilinged hallway, with the staircase sweeping upwards adding a touch of glamour.

On the right the living room`s warm oak flooring contrasts beautifully with its neutral décor, with double aspect light and a wood burning stove adding character. There is plenty of room for family sofas.

Opposite, the second reception room is currently set up as a home office but could equally be used as a playroom, depending on your needs.

Behind is the utility room, with access into the garden and the useful guest cloakroom. There is an additional sink for muddy boots and paws, space and plumbing for appliances and storage cupboards too.

At the rear is the jewel in this home`s crown, the fabulous open plan kitchen, dining, family room. It really is a show stopper both in terms of its creative design and views, with two sets of full height sliding glazed doors effortlessly extending the living space onto the decked sun terrace.

The dimensions of the living space cleverly define a dining and seating area with ample space for sofas and a large dining table and chairs. A granite topped peninsula connects to a wooden breakfast bar with seating for four bar stools, linking the area with the kitchen.

The luxury kitchen at the side is a visual delight with its mix of contrasting cupboards, open wooden effect shelf, granite worktops and copper effect splashback. It is a cook`s dream with all the high end integrated appliances that you would expect from a house of this quality including a Siemens double oven with combination steamer/microwave, Siemens induction hob with downdraft extractor, a dishwasher, and an instant boiling hot water tap. A large walk in larder offers plenty of additional storage.

Returning to the entrance hall a contemporary staircase with glass balustrades takes you up to the first floor landing brightened by its skylight showcasing the home`s light filled interior.

All four immaculate double bedrooms have full height glazed sliding doors that open onto sit on balconies with glass balustrades offering unobstructed views.

The principal bedroom suite at the rear offers truly spectacular views across the countryside. It benefits from a walk in dressing area with fitted storage and lighting and also a full height storage cupboard. A contemporary, modern en-suite shower room with an infrared sauna adds to the feeling of luxury and healthy living that the room certainly delivers on.

There are three further generously sized double bedrooms, all with full height fitted wardrobes and one with a walk in dressing area with open storage and lighting.

A beautifully finished bathroom and separate shower room complete the superb family accommodation.

Outside at the rear decking wraps across the length of the house on the ground floor offering plenty of alfresco dining space and room to lie lazily in the sun. The garden is lush with green lawns sloping down towards the woodland behind with a paved terrace for additional seating. Mature trees, hedging, plants, and shrubs afford great privacy enabling you to enjoy the pleasures of the countryside tranquillity the home enjoys. There is a greenhouse, a kitchen garden area, a wooden shed and a covered recess under the decked terrace for easy storage. An electric car charging point is located at the side of the house.

A gate at the rear opens into the woodland area, perfect for making childhood memories.

With its environmentally friendly features, spectacular views, open countryside on its doorstep and proximity to excellent transport connections and first-class schools, it is the perfect home for families. A must see!

Area information: Southborough, Tunbridge Wells, Kent

Southborough lies just a couple of miles north outside the historic spa town of Tunbridge Wells with its big retail names and its Georgian colonnade, the Pantiles, offering a vibrant café culture.

It also sits just south of Tonbridge, with the A26 passing through it offering easy access to the A21 which leads to the M25.

Southborough Hub with its new medical centre, library, theatre/hall, coffee shop, community rooms, and town council offices, together with retail space is within walking distance of the property. 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 towards the property`s end 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. The property is also within the catchment areas for the 6 highly regarded and sought-after Tunbridge Wells and Tonbridge Grammar Schools.

Southborough enjoys many local independent shops with an award winning hairdressers, The Gallery, and restaurant Tallow, which was named The Good Food Guide`s Best UK Local Restaurant 2023 both are a short walk away.
