About this property

On the market for the first time in over 40 years, an individual detached property located near the end of a no-through private road and affording far reaching easterly views over Kent countryside. The location provides tranquillity but remains close to local shops in Southborough and gives easy access to Tonbridge, Tunbridge Wells and the A21.

The property occupies a plot of just over 0.6 acres. Believed to date back to 1958 the original house has been subsequently extended to provide a unique flexible layout and the property is currently adapted to house one generation on the ground floor and another on the first - although all alterations made have been done so as to retain the original design features; including leaded light windows in best quality galvanised steel frames and hand made clay tile hanging around the first floor elevations. Planning approval was obtained in 1990 to make further alterations including a three bay garage, enlarged study, roof structures and rear lobby etc. however these works were only partly completed at that time and therefore remain in abeyance with the possibility of being completed at some future date.
Accommodation on the ground floor currently includes an entrance hall with stairs to first floor, a double aspect sitting room with multi-fuel log burner and French doors opening directly to the garden. An arched opening gives access to the dining room with serving hatch to the kitchen which has a range of white oak faced units and plumbing for dishwasher and washing machine along with a door to a rear lobby giving access to garden. Double sliding doors from the hall open into a small study with a built-in open face bookcase opposite. At the end of the hall, and with a secondary front door, is a rear hallway giving access to the garage via a personal door as well as an internal bathroom with walk in shower and three bedrooms – all with fitted wardrobes and views out to the rear.
On the first floor the accommodation currently comprises three double bedrooms, one of which is currently used as a sitting room, a kitchen/utility room, bathroom and a separate cloakroom.

Outside
A driveway provides parking for several vehicles and gives access to a double garage with electrically operated door and sliding doors to the rear open to an excellent workshop. A footpath leads from the road to the front door with an area of lawn planted with mature beds and borders.
Access from either each side of house leads to the rear with a York Stone Patio across the width of property with steps to main lawn. The gardens are landscaped to three levels of lawns with mature planted beds and borders and a kitchen garden beyond dividing hedges has raised beds. There is a greenhouse and numerous sheds, a fruit garden and orchard with mature apple and pear trees.

Situation
Vicarage Road is a small private road in Southborough, on the north side of Tunbridge Wells and within a short walk of the cricket green, tennis courts and the local shops. Southborough has a good range of amenities and is well-placed for access to Tunbridge Wells, Tonbridge, the A21 and the wider motorway network. A comprehensive bus service operates along the A26/London Road serving Tunbridge Wells and local schools, including both the boys and girls grammar schools. There are footpaths close-by leading to some fabulous open countryside and the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty – ideal for dog walks and exploring.
