Sold by flying fish properties tunbridge wells This fantastic property has been loved by the same family for over four decades and offers a dream project to create your own vision and add value in the future.
It sits in a quiet and friendly location with excellent schools, superb transport links, woodland, and open countryside on its doorstep.
A lawned front garden with a driveway that fronts the detached garage to the side, sets it back from the road.
Its covered entrance door opens into the entrance hallway, with a useful cloakroom cupboard and under stair storage cupboard to keep the space clutter free.
First on the left is the spacious living room which is flooded with light from its front aspect bay window. A stone enclosed fireplace adds warmth in the colder months and an open aspect to the dining room offers plenty of family living and entertaining space.
The dining room, conveniently placed next to the kitchen, has a large window bringing in garden views as you dine.
Next door, the kitchen is brightened by a large window over the sink and a glazed door to the side giving garden access. There are storage units top and bottom and larder cupboards, one housing the boiler. Bosch integrated appliances include a dishwasher, washing machine, hob, and oven and there is plenty of countertop space.
Climbing the stairs to the first floor there are three bedrooms, two of which are generous doubles with fitted cupboards.
At the rear is the bathroom with a panel enclosed bath with shower attachment above and two windows that draw in lots of natural light.
Outside to the rear, the sunny south facing garden has an expanse of lawn edged with a variety of plants and flowers. There is a paved terrace at the rear of the house, perfect for summer dining, a paved pathway to the rear and a wooden sleeper enclosed vegetable patch. Hedging and fencing safely enclose the space for children and pets and a detached garage and a greenhouse provide plenty of storage options.
This bright welcoming home is nicely decorated and immaculately presented, however, it also offers fantastic development opportunities. A must see!

Area Information: Southborough, Tunbridge Wells
Southborough is just a couple of miles outside the historic spa town of Tunbridge Wells. Southborough sits immediately to the north of Tunbridge Wells and just south of Tonbridge, with the A26 passing through it. Southborough's location allows easy access to the A21 which leads to the M25.
The Ridgeway playing fields is a short walk away with open green spaces for the kids and dogs to play and a junior football club too.
Southborough Common, situated towards the Tonbridge end of the town, is a conservation area where cricket has been played for more than 200 years. Southborough Cricket Club is still very much a vibrant community club.
If you're a runner or casual walker, the woodland area of the Southborough Common is a very beautiful space. The woodland area of Southborough Common, nestled behind St. Peters church, is a delightful broadleaf woodland featuring ancient and young trees sloping down to a stream.
Secondary, independent, preparatory, and private schools can be found in both Tunbridge Wells and Tonbridge, while Southborough has its very own primary school with St Matthew's Church of England Primary School also a short walk away. Hillcrest is also within the catchment areas for the main highly regarded and sought after Tunbridge Wells Grammar Schools.
Tunbridge Wells is just over a mile away with big retail names. The nearest mainline station to Southborough is at High Brooms, about a mile away, with fast and frequent train services to London Charing Cross. There are also mainline stations on the same line at Tonbridge and Tunbridge Wells. Tonbridge Station is only 2.5 miles away and with two lines passing through it provides on average 34 trains a day from Tonbridge to London Bridge in as little as 35-minute journeys.
The A21, which provides a direct link onto M25 and other motorways, is a few minutes' drive away from Southborough.
