Prospect Park, Southborough, Tunbridge Wells

This fantastic house, surrounded by leafy woodland, is at the end of a quiet cul de sac, in an idyllic semi-rural setting.

Within walking distance of Southborough's picturesque cricket green, woodland walks and local village shops, it has the best of both worlds as it is a stone's throw from easy access to the M25, fast rail connections to central London and first-class schools.

The house itself offers modern day living with a layout and flow that are ideal for family life.

Set back from its quiet road by mature planting and an area of lawn, double garages sit neatly to the side fronted by a driveway providing off street parking for two cars.

The bright entrance hallway, with a useful guest cloakroom, has rooms running off it at every angle.

First on the right is the family room, currently set up as a music room. It is a very versatile space, and its glazed doors can lie open to the hallway creating a sense of space and light.

Across the hallway is the home office, brightened by its window overlooking the front garden.

Next door the spacious living room is flooded with natural light from its double aspect windows. There is plenty of room for large sofas and the glazed doors at the rear bring in glorious garden views. A stone enclosed fireplace adds character and warmth making it a very welcoming space.

Returning to the hallway to the rear is the well-designed kitchen/dining room that offers an abundance of Shaker style cabinetry topped with granite counter surfaces. Warm wooden effect flooring adds to the sense of style and integrated appliances include a Zanussi double oven and washing machine, Bosch dishwasher, fridge/freezer, and a Zanussi induction hob to make it a cook's dream. There is space for a table and chairs at the side for you to enjoy garden views as you dine and French doors and a further part glazed door give you garden access.

Climbing the stairs to the first floor, four double bedrooms lead off the spacious landing, brightened by its front aspect window. The principal bedroom has a fitted wardrobe and an en-suite bathroom.

The immaculate family bathroom with a panel enclosed bath with shower over completes the first floor.

Outside, the enclosed rear garden offers a safe sanctuary for pets and children and enjoys privacy from a canopy of trees at the rear. There is a paved terrace beside the house, perfect for summer dining, an area of lawn edged by mature planting and a raised decked terrace to catch the evening sun. There is side street access and pedestrian access into the double garage that delivers great storage space and room for additional appliances.

This fantastic family home in a sought after location in the catchment area for all the first-class schools, is a must see!

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, near to the property, is a conservation area where cricket has been played for more than 200 years.

If you're a runner, dog owner or casual walker, opposite the property 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.
