A substantial five bedroom detached house set in just under an acre in a tucked away location on the Southborough/ Tonbridge border being sold with NO CHAIN.
A Distinguished Five-Bedroom Residence with Expansive Grounds and Exceptional Interiors
A grand solid wood front door opens into a spacious and welcoming entrance hall, setting the tone for the elegant and thoughtfully designed interiors throughout the home. With ceiling spotlights, two radiators, an understairs cupboard, and dual cloak cupboards as well as access to a cloakroom, the hallway is as practical as it is impressive, with stairs rising gracefully to the upper floors.
The ground floor is exceptionally well appointed for both family living and formal entertaining. The sitting room is a stunning focal point of the home, bathed in natural light from a double-glazed bay window to the side and full-height glazed doors to the rear, flanked by tall windows. A granite-surround gas fireplace with wood mantel adds warmth and character, while bespoke built-in TV cabinetry and elegant cornice mouldings enhance the refined ambiance.
The formal dining room is equally refined, with moulded cornices, a decorative ceiling rose, and direct access to the conservatory via double-glazed doors. Rebuilt in 2024, the conservatory blends hardwood finishes with double glazing and a vaulted UPVC ceiling, offering a tranquil year-round space with tiled flooring and panoramic views of the gardens.
To the front of the property, the study offers a quiet, sophisticated workspace, complete with a range of built-in bookcases and cabinetry, a large double-glazed window, radiator, and classic ceiling detailing. The kitchen is a true centrepiece of the home, boasting an extensive array of wall and floor cabinetry, high-spec integrated appliances including two ovens, microwave, dishwasher, fridge/freezer, and a five-ring halogen hob beneath a concealed extractor. A central island with breakfast bar and tiled flooring complements the space, which is illuminated by ceiling spotlights and offers convenient internal access to the garage.
Upstairs, the galleried landing with a double-glazed front window leads to five generously sized bedrooms, each finished to a high standard. The principal bedroom suite enjoys a private balcony overlooking the gardens, a full wall of fitted wardrobes, and a luxurious en-suite bathroom complete with corner bath, thermostatic shower, vanity unit with basin, WC, heated towel rail, and tasteful tiling throughout. A second bedroom also benefits from a well-appointed en-suite, featuring a panel-ended bath with shower, vanity basin, WC, and heated towel rail. Further bedrooms include a mix of front and rear-facing views, built-in wardrobes, and ceiling spotlights. A stylish family shower room serves these rooms, with a large thermostatic walk-in shower, vanity basin, WC, and heated towel rail, all finished in premium tiles.
The second floor reveals a vast loft conversion, currently configured as a substantial bedroom with two dormer windows, extensive built-in furniture, and ample eaves storage. This versatile space could easily serve as a luxurious principal suite or be divided to create additional bedrooms or living areas. A galleried landing with Velux window and loft hatch adds further character to this floor.
Externally, the home is equally impressive. To the front, a brick-paved driveway leads to a double garage with electric roller doors and ample parking. The communal approach includes a turning circle and visitor parking. To the rear, the grounds extend across nearly an acre, enjoying a desirable south-westerly aspect. Mature trees, well-tended flowerbeds, expansive lawns, and a striking ancient oak pergola add grandeur and serenity, while a large pond and charming summerhouse complete the idyllic garden setting.
This is an exceptional property that effortlessly combines refined architectural details, generous proportions, and modern convenience in an enviable location-ideal for the discerning buyer seeking both luxury and lifestyle.
