2 bed detached house for sale

Holden Corner, Southborough, Tunbridge Wells TN4

Sat opposite the picturesque village pond, with the woodland behind, this house enjoys the best of both worlds as it is also a short walk from local shops, sought after schools and excellent transport links.

A smart resin off road parking space with an electric charging point fronts the house, with decked steps leading up to the covered entrance door and a side return with storage space and gated access into the rear garden.

Deceptively spacious, the living room is on your right. It is a welcoming space with warm wooden effect flooring, a period mantlepiece framing the chimney breast, fitted alcove shelving and plenty of room for furniture.

Directly behind is the kitchen/breakfast room with a country style charm and French doors that can lie open into the garden in the summer months, extending the living space. Contrasting painted Shaker style units top and bottom topped with wooden counter tops wrap around the room housing the appliances and providing ample storage. The sink is placed under the window, and a breakfast bar is perfect for your morning coffee, but also provides a bespoke pet bed below, or alternatively additional space for an appliance, or storage.

Next door the guest cloakroom has space and plumbing for appliances at the opposite end.

Returning to the hallway, stairs lead you up to the first floor's two bedrooms, both generous doubles with a restful feel. The principal bedroom enjoys picturesque views over the pond and woodland beyond.

A stylish and contemporary bathroom with shower over the bath completes the floor.

Outside the sunny rear garden has a paved terrace next to the house, perfect for summer dining. Tiers of brick enclosed stocked flower beds add interest and colour with paved steps gently rising to an area of lawn and an additional paved seating area. The garden is safely enclosed for pets and children and is a visual delight with a leafy tree providing a green canopy. A gate opens onto a useful side return with space for sheds and storage and access to the street beyond.

There are also allotments either side of the fields allowing you to grow your own fruit and vegetables on your doorstep.

Southborough Common, situated north of the village, is a conservation area where cricket has been played for more than 200 years.

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