Spring Lane, Bidborough, Tunbridge Wells TN3

Tucked away on a private road surrounded by beautiful open countryside, this fantastic property with idyllic woodland views to the rear sits discretely behind the village recreation ground.

A part hung tile 1930s exterior, with an in-keeping later extension to the side, is fronted by an area of lawn and a driveway with parking for several cars.

There is rear garden access at both sides of the house, and an integrated garage sits neatly to the side.

A covered entrance door opens into the welcoming hallway with warm wooden flooring, a useful guest cloakroom and a fitted cupboard to keep the space clutter free.

Straight ahead is the spacious living room. It is an elegant room with wooden flooring, double aspect windows and French doors opening onto the terrace. A fireplace with a wood burning stove adds character and warmth in the colder months and there is plenty of room for furniture.

Next door the home office also benefits from garden access. It is a versatile space, and it could easily double as a playroom or an informal tv room for older children.

Behind is the fantastic kitchen/dining/family room which is the heart of the home. Its generous size makes it perfect for modern family life and entertaining, with front access to the driveway and rear garden access too. Bespoke streamline cabinets topped with contrasting granite countertops provide wonderful storage with larder cupboards, pan drawers and an extending corner unit. There is space for a range oven and an American style fridge/freezer and glazing at the rear provides a wonderful lush green backdrop for dining experiences. There is a Quooker tap that provides boiling, filtered and sparkling water. French doors to the side open onto the wide, paved sit on terrace, perfect for summer dining.

Beyond, the spacious utility room has another sink for muddy boots and paws, a countertop, additional storage and space and plumbing for appliances. It also gives access into the garden, another cloakroom and the integral garage.

Returning to the hallway, a staircase draws you up to the wide first floor landing, brightened by its front aspect window, with rooms running off it on all sides.

The principal bedroom is flooded with light and garden views from its rear aspect window and a wall of mirrored wardrobes and a modern en-suite with double wash hand basins and walk in shower enclosure add to the feeling of luxury that the room delivers on.

There are three additional bedrooms, all generous doubles, with bedroom two benefitting from its own en-suite and dressing area with fitted wardrobes.

The family bathroom with a bath and separate shower cubicle complete the floor.

Outside at the rear a paved terrace enclosed by steel balustrades wraps across the length of the house offering plenty of summer dining space and room to lie lazily in the sun. The garden is lush and green sloping down towards the woodland behind with areas of lawn and a further paved terrace to the side for additional seating. Mature trees, hedging, plants, and shrubs afford great privacy enabling you to enjoy the pleasures of the countryside tranquillity the home enjoys. There is a part glazed summer house, a wooden shed, a log store, and a wooden sleeper enclosed vegetable box. The garden is fully enclosed, offering a safe sanctuary for children and pets.

With open countryside on its doorstep and being a stone's throw from easy access to the M25, fast rail connections to central London and first-class schools, it is the perfect home for families with professional needs. It is also within walking distance of Bidborough's highly regarded primary school, picturesque cricket green, recreation ground, petrol station, local shop, and popular gastro pub. A must see!
