A lovely 1960's 4 bedroom end-terraced house with converted garage, driveway and garden with a summer house situated in the quiet area of Southborough.
Owned since 2007, this 1960s 4-bedroom (or 3 doubles plus office/dressing room) end terrace house, laid over 3-storeys and at 1,251SQFT has been a loved and practical family home and now offers the next owners the same joys but also the opportunity to add their own stamp.
Originally designed with inbuilt garages and first floor living rooms, the current owners have sensibly converted the garage to form a ground floor living room and additional first floor bedroom. Though now lapsed, any new owner will find additional opportunity seen in previous approved single storey rear garden room extension***.
The home is set within a quiet and popular residential community-like area within walking distance to London Road High Street and Southborough Common which offers a range of independent and boutique pubs, shops, restaurants, and bakeries. Popular with families, the property also provides easy access to local primary and secondary schools as well as convenient access to the A21 as well as High Brooms or Tonbridge Mainline Station.
Now looking towards their next chapter, the owners are currently pursuing a new build option, allowing us to offer this property with a complete chain above*.
