Bespoke fitted cabinetry provides useful elegant storage space.

Next door the fabulous kitchen/breakfast/dining room is perfect for entertaining but equally ideal for family living. The streamlined kitchen on the right offers an abundance of Shaker style cabinetry, counter space and integrated appliances including a full height fridge and Neff dishwasher, double ovens, and 5 ring gas hob. A peninsula breakfast bar overhang with space for three bar stools is perfect for your morning coffee and the dining space to the rear is ideal for a large table and chairs to enjoy views of the garden as you dine.

Beyond, the spacious utility room has another sink for muddy boots and paws, countertops, additional storage and space and plumbing for appliances. It also gives access into the garden with easy side access to the driveway and pedestrian access into the rear of the garage.

Returning to the hallway and climbing the stairs to the first floor there are four immaculate bedrooms all brightened by large windows.

The principal and second bedroom suites benefit from contemporary en-suite shower rooms, fitted wardrobes and spectacular countryside views.

The fourth bedroom, currently set up as a home office, has a useful fitted cupboard with a pull down bed.

The modern family bathroom with a shower bath with wall mounted shower above completes the floor.

Outside the beautiful rear garden is tiered with a large, paved terrace with an electric sun awning, perfect for summer entertaining, at the rear of the house. Steps take you down to two areas of lawn, at the rear and the side, bordered by mature planting. Through a gap in the mature hedging at the rear steps take you down to a cottage garden area with raised wooden vegetable boxes, a further paved terrace for seating and a wooden shed for storage.

Area Information: Bidborough, Tunbridge Wells, Kent

Bidborough is an idyllic and pretty village in the borough of Tunbridge Wells, lying to the north of Tunbridge Wells town centre and to the south of Tonbridge town centre.

It has an active community with an historic 11th Century church, a local primary school which is ranked by Ofsted as good, a petrol station, a local convenience store and a popular recently and extensively refurbished village pub, the 'Kentish Hare'.

Parish sports facilities are good, and the village boasts a tennis court, a bowls green and two recreation ground areas, which are available for cricket and five-a-side football.

The village benefits from open countryside and sprawling woodland on its doorstep but it is also popular with commuters being only 2.5 miles from Tonbridge Station with its fast and frequent access into central London in 44 minutes. It is also close to Gatwick Airport and with the A21 less than 2 miles away with access onto the M25 it provides quick road access into London too.

Excellent local independent primary schools such as The Schools at Somerhill and Hilden Grange Primary sit alongside the highly regarded village primary and the sought-after girls' and boys' secondary grammar schools are also nearby. With a number of additional exceptional state secondary schools in its borough and the renowned Tonbridge and Sevenoaks Schools on its doorstep, parents are definitely spoilt for choice.

The more extensive shopping facilities in both Tonbridge and Tunbridge Wells are nearby as is Tunbridge Wells' historic Pantiles which offers a vibrant al fresco café culture with independent boutiques stretching up to the old High Street.
