Fernhurst Crescent, Southborough, Tunbridge Wells

SOLD BY FLYING FISH PROPERTIES TUNBRIDGE WELLS This fantastic home has playing fields, allotments, open farmland, and woodland walks on its doorstep so that you can enjoy a relaxed family life. You can, however, enjoy the best of both worlds as you will also benefit from excellent schools and superb transport links nearby.

The current owners have cleverly redesigned and remodelled the home to create a light filled interior that flows beautifully.

It is set back from its popular cul-de-sac by a gravelled driveway, with a garage store room to the front.

You enter via a part glazed porch with plenty of space for coats and shoes, a useful utility cupboard, and doors opening off it on both sides.

To the front is the converted home office which is neatly tucked away from the hustle and bustle of family life.

The hallway behind has warm wooden parquet flooring that contrasts beautifully with its neutral walls.

On the left is a shower room with guest cloakroom facilities.

Returning to the hallway at the front is the well-designed kitchen. It has plenty of sleek eye and base level units topped with quartz work surfaces that separate the integrated appliances and contrast with its contemporary flooring. There is a large window above the sink, and it is conveniently placed next to the dining room.

Behind is the delightful dining/family room, which is open plan to the living room, making it a very social space. A wall of fitted open shelving to the side of the dining area stretches towards the back family area with its dual aspect light. Sliding glazed doors at the rear flood the room with sunshine with the dimensions of the space cleverly defining a dining and seating area.

Opening to the side is the welcoming living room with a large window delivering glorious garden views and a fire adding warmth in the colder months.

Climbing the stairs to the first floor, there are three bright and generously sized bedrooms. The two larger bedrooms have fitted wardrobes and garden views with the third currently set up as an additional home office.

A family bathroom with shower placed over the bath and lots of natural light from its two windows completes the first floor.

The home's sunny south facing garden is creatively designed with a paved terrace at the rear of the house, a neat area of lawn and pretty stocked beds and trees. It is safely enclosed on all sides for children and pets with a gate to the side leading to an additional stretch of lawn to the side of the house.

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 has just been named The Good Food Guide's Best UK Local Restaurant 2023 – both are a short walk away. With additional convenience stores, a baker, a butcher, and pubs such as The Hand & Sceptre and The Imperial nearby, all your local needs are met.

The nearest mainline station to the property is at High Brooms, which has parking, with fast and frequent train services to London Waterloo East, Charing Cross, London Bridge, and Canon Street. The train line at Tonbridge Station is 2.7 miles away and with two lines passing through, it provides on average 34 trains a day from Tonbridge to London Bridge in as little as 40-minute journeys. There is also a luxury coach service, which drops up and collects at the end of Pennington Road, 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.
