About
This period home is set on a popular road within walking distance of the local primary school, local shops, and mainline station.
It is also close to Southborough Common, an area of outstanding natural beauty.
It is set back from the road by a low fence, with its red brick exterior and bay window providing plenty of kerb appeal and an entrance door to the side welcoming you in.
On the right, at the front of the house, is the spacious living room. It is flooded with light from the bay window and has plenty of room for sofas.
A gas fireplace and warm wooden flooring add character and charm to the space. Opposite is the dining room which conveniently leads into the kitchen.
Its open plan aspect makes it ideal for both family living and entertaining and there is ample space for a dining table and chairs.
A part glazed dresser unit and an under stair cupboard offer great storage. Behind is the fantastic kitchen. It is beautifully finished with Shaker style cabinets topped with contrasting countertops.
There are an integrated fridge/freezer and oven and there is space for additional freestanding appliances. A window over the sink and a part glazed door giving garden access brighten the space.
At the rear is a clever use of space, with the guest cloakroom also providing stacking space and plumbing for appliances.
Climbing the stairs to the first-floor split level landing there are two double bedrooms, both with graceful proportions that give a very tranquil feeling.
The principal bedroom at the rear has an over stair wardrobe. The spacious bathroom, opening off the principal bedroom, has a large window bringing in lots of natural light.
There is a shower over the bath and a fitted cupboard housing the boiler. Outside there is a low maintenance courtyard garden that is accessed directly off the kitchen.
It is fully enclosed offering a safe sanctuary for children and pets and is south facing, perfect for summer dining. It also benefits from front street access.
