Sought after village location
This fantastic home is screened from the road and sits elevated in the heart of its popular village location, with spectacular countryside views.
It delivers a family friendly style of living in its idyllic semi-rural setting. However, it is also within easy walking distance of Bidborough's highly regarded primary school, picturesque cricket green, beautiful woodland, and popular gastro pub.
Having undergone extensive renovation by the current owners, this home offers a family lifestyle that you could move straight in and enjoy.
Approached via its quiet cul-de-sac setting, with a garage in the block to the side, you climb upwards through seating areas and pretty stocked flower beds to the house.
Fronted by creative landscaped gardens, a gabled porch welcomes you in, with space for coats and shoes.
Beyond is the fantastic open plan kitchen/breakfast/dining/family room which is the heart of the home. The dimensions of the room cleverly define a dining area with ample space for a table and chairs and a seating area with clever storage, creating superb family living and entertaining space. Both areas have bi-folding doors that can lie open to extend the living space into the garden in the warner months.
Behind is the kitchen/breakfast area that delivers wonderful cooking facilities with streamlined units topped with Quartz countertops. An island houses the induction hob and charcoal filter while the peninsula breakfast bar has space for up to four bar stools, making it perfect for casual dining or chatting to friends and family as you cook. There are plenty of storage cupboards and a deep corner larder cupboard too.
At the rear is the separate utility room with an additional sink for muddy boots and paws, space and plumbing for appliances and access into the guest cloakroom.
To the right, with rear garden access, is the spacious living room. A bespoke media unit with soft close cabinets and oak acoustic wooden wall panelling make it a very welcoming and contemporary space.
Climbing the stairs to the first floor there are four bedrooms, three of which are doubles.
The principal bedroom is a tranquil space which enjoys breathtaking views from its front window and has the benefit of a walk-in wardrobe and an en-suite shower room.
A bathroom with a shower bath and fitted linen storage completes the floor.
Outside the inspired landscaping provides the perfect welcome but it is also an ideal setting to enjoy the far-reaching countryside views. There is a paved terrace at the rear of the house, perfect for summer dining, and areas of lawn for children to play on. Creative planting adds colour and interest and there is a children's slide and swing set that blends beautifully into its surroundings.
With breath taking landscape views, a quiet village location and all your first-class schooling and transport needs on your doorstep, this is the perfect family home. A must see!

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.
