SOLD BY FLYING FISH PROPERTIES This smart contemporary home sits on an enviable leafy residential road in an idyllic semi-rural village, hugely popular with families.

Screened from the quiet road by high hedging, an expanse of lush green lawn with pretty flower borders fronts the charming house.

A gravelled driveway offering plenty of parking leads to the garage with an additional store room and access into the rear garden.

The entrance doorway neatly accessed to the side of the house opens into a bright and welcoming space with an open cupboard for coats and shoes to keep the area clutter free.

Past a bright shower room, you enter the stunning open plan kitchen/dining/living room. With its abundance of windows and part vaulted ceiling over a smart open tread staircase, it delivers a true sense of space and light.

With underfloor heating throughout the ground floor, the living area to the front of the house has ample space for family sofas and room for the kids to play. A wood burning stove adds character and warmth in the colder months.

To the rear the open plan kitchen/dining room delivers wonderful cooking facilities with plenty of cabinets providing ample storage space top and bottom, integrated ovens and space and plumbing for additional appliances. For family and entertaining, there is tons of space and a glazed door in the dining area brings views of the garden in as you dine.

Next door there is a light and airy home office which given its size could easily be used as a fourth bedroom, especially with the nearby shower room offering convenience for any visiting guests.

The spacious sitting room to the front is full of sunlight and glorious garden views. It offers the perfect sanctuary and is large enough to entertain friends as well.

Climbing the stairs to the first floor there are three generously sized bedrooms, one with a recess storage area and eaves storage, all flooded with light from their windows with leafy views. A bright modern bathroom completes the floor.

Pretty spacious gardens lie to the front and rear of the house, the back garden safely self-contained for pets and children. They are mainly laid to lawn with mature hedges, trees and shrubs providing a high degree of privacy with a paved terrace outside the kitchen making it perfect for evening entertainment.

Its idyllic semi- rural position is surrounded by open countryside, but it also presents a perfect dynamic of excellent schools, with the highly regarded St Thomas' Primary School within touching distance and excellent travel links on its doorstep.

There is planning approval granted (expiring November 2018) to reconfigure and extend the existing garage to form a utility room, store and studio room. Planning application reference number: WD/2015/2101/F.

Area Information: Groombridge

Groombridge is a pretty semi-rural village in the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, approximately 4.7 miles west of the centre of Tunbridge Wells and 3 miles south of Crowborough.

It has its own highly regarded St Thomas Church of England Primary School, which was Ofsted rated ‘Outstanding'. It also has two churches, two public houses, a general store, a post office and a bakery.

Groombridge has a cricket ground, tennis club, bowls club, recreation ground with children's play area, as well as the historic Groombridge Place.

Apart from its own primary school excellent secondary, independent, preparatory and private schools can be found in both Tunbridge Wells and Tonbridge, with Holmewood House Primary School in nearby Langton Green. There are also the 5 highly regarded and sought after Tunbridge Wells and Tonbridge Grammar Schools.

The nearest mainline stations to Groombridge are Eridge (about 1.8 miles) with trains to London Bridge in about 60 minutes, Tunbridge Wells (4.7 miles) with trains to Charing Cross (via London Bridge and Waterloo East) and Cannon Street from 50 minutes, Hildenborough (7.4 miles) and Tonbridge (8.5 miles) stations for London commuters - these stations can be easily reached via Penshurst and Speldhurst resp. avoiding Tunbridge Wells congestion and offer much more frequent services to LBG, Cannon Street and Charing Cross at a lower price. Moreover, a Coach Service provides convenient and much more affordable access, in particular to Canary Wharf, from Langton Green.

The A21 just North of Tunbridge Wells links to the M25 (junction 5) and thereby to the national motorway network, Gatwick (also accessible by the A264) and Heathrow airports and the Channel Tunnel terminus.
