House For Sale £950,000
A spacious family home within a wonderfully secluded location with a rare woodland and countryside outlook, situated at the end of a quiet road in Bidborough, offering 4 bedrooms, 2 receptions, a double garage and the opportunity for refurbishment.
Headline Description
This detached family residence comes to the market for the first time in nearly 50 years, which is testament to its rare and coveted location in the charming village of Bidborough. The house is situated on a quiet road, with a fabulous location close to open countryside and backing onto extensive woods. This gives the house a very special outlook, meaning that whilst it remains very close to the village and with the amenities within easy reach, the house has a semi-rural outlook and real seclusion. Arranged over 2 floors with 4 bedrooms, 2 reception rooms, a dine in kitchen, utility room and a double garage, this house offers so much potential to its new owners. Much loved for many years by the previous owners, it is in generally good order, but there is no doubt that the house could be extended (STPP) and modernised throughout. The accommodation is well arranged to take advantage of the southerly aspect and the glorious views, with the main reception areas, kitchen and bedrooms enjoying the views. With fabulous front and rear gardens, the unique location and so much potential, there is no doubt that this spacious house could be transformed into an impressive family residence.
What We Love About This Property
One of the standout features of this property has to be its location. Birchwood Avenue is a residential road that sits on the very edge of Bidborough village, backing onto acres of rolling countryside offering lovely walks. Number 9 is the penultimate house on the left-hand side of the road, meaning that it enjoys both the glorious views and a southerly aspect.
As a result of this lovely location, the garden is also unique. The current owners have taken advantage of the incline, creating a raised stone terrace on the top tier, with a few steps down to an expanse of lawn, with a secure picket fence flanking the border. The remaining garden beyond is packed with mature shrubs and trees, creating a wonderful sense of privacy and seclusion. The views from the upper tier over the surrounding countryside are very lovely, and the raised aspect of the house ensures that every room is flooded with natural light.
The property itself offers so much potential. The arrangement of the current accommodation works well, with the principal rooms enjoying the lovely outlook. The new owners may therefore wish to make a few structural changes, creating a large dine in kitchen and separate reception rooms, or there is certainly potential to extend to the side and over the garage, subject to necessary consents. Both the plot and the demographics of the road would support such an investment in the property.
Bidborough is a lovely village, popular thanks to its situation amidst abundant and beautiful countryside, yet being close to the market town of Tonbridge, with its mainline train service, Tunbridge Wells with its extensive amenities and leisure facilities, and the wider road network. The village is well supported by its residents: The Kentish Hare is a lovely village pub, which serves very fine meals, and the shop, provides a range of everyday amenities.
Location
Bidborough is a most desirable village which has acres of beautiful common land on its doorstep, including lovely woodland trails. Ideally located between the market town of Tonbridge and the vibrant spa town of Tunbridge Wells, there are an array of amenities nearby including restaurants, supermarkets, extensive shopping, independent outlets and leisure facilities. There are excellent independent and state school options in the area, including those in the sought-after Kent Grammar system. Tonbridge and Hildenborough stations are just over 2 miles and 4 miles distant respectively, with both stations offering a fast and frequent service into Central London, with daily, monthly or annual parking facilities. Easy access to the A21 makes the impressive, award-winning Bluewater Shopping Centre very reachable and if you want to escape to the coast, then the lovely seaside towns are approximately 30 miles away.
