Description
Set in a sought-after location in Southborough, this substantial family home has been expanded and adapted to create a wonderful backdrop for modern family living.

The house offers light, airy, and spacious accommodation, perfect for entertaining and family life. It is immaculately presented throughout with contemporary fittings and finishes, thoughtful storage space and benefits from a beautifully appointed Tom Howley kitchen. Considerable thought has been given to creating a flexible layout that is well-suited to family life and entertaining, and which can easily be adapted to suit individual family requirements.

Built in the 1980s, the current owners have comprehensively remodelled and renovated the property. A new spacious kitchen and family room has been added to the rear of the house, with full-width bi-fold doors opening out directly on to a stunning patio, forming a seamless transition to the recently landscaped south-facing rear garden.

The bespoke, handmade Tom Howley kitchen features cabinetry including wall units with appliance sockets, pan drawers with hidden cutlery inserts, a full-length pantry cupboard and a curved breakfast bar. There is an abundance of preparation space on organic white Caesarstone worktops, along with integrated appliances including eye-level double ovens, a Miele electric hob with integrated extractor fan and a Quooker tap.

The Tom Howley utility room offers a second integrated dishwasher, ample further storage including housing for a washing machine and tumble dryer, as well as space for a large American-style fridge-freezer. Via an internal door, the utility enjoys direct internal access to the double garage which benefits from electric roller garage doors.

Tucked behind the kitchen you will find a good-sized study benefitting from an ensuite shower room as well as direct access to the garden via sliding patio doors. This could become an additional, step-free access bedroom if required.

Completing the ground floor living space, at the front of the house there is a playroom/sitting room, as well as an entrance hallway, with both enjoying plenty of natural light.

The first floor comprises four bright, spacious double bedrooms, one of which is en suite, in addition to a well-appointed family bathroom with free-standing bath.

Located on the second floor, the principal bedroom suite offers a quiet sanctuary, including a bedroom, dressing room and en suite. The bedroom features a striking, floor-to-ceiling window complete with Juliet balcony and sliding patio doors which look out onto uninterrupted views of the surrounding woodland. The dressing area benefits from a bespoke, handmade dressing table including three large drawers on each side, as well as hand-built fitted wardrobes designed to fit the curve of the ceiling with precision. The suite is completed by a stylish en suite shower room which boasts an eye-catching vanity unit as well as further inbuilt storage.

Outside, the generous garden is a particular feature of the house, with a substantial lawn area complimented by a large patio space, ideal for outdoor entertaining.

The property is approached over a driveway providing off-street parking for several cars. A path leads down the side of the house through a close-boarded gate, offering step-free access to the rear garden. The double garage offers an abundance of additional space, plus new electric roller doors.
