Deceptively close to Southborough centre and a 10 minute walk to mainline train station, schools and local amenities.
The Headline Details
A charming and pretty three-bedroom cottage that has been extended to incorporate generous living space, lots of light and wonderful views of the beautiful back garden. This property enjoys a great deal of storage space and is presented in excellent condition. Accessed via a private drive, it is set back from the road which gives this house privacy and an incredibly rural feel with stunning views to match. Despite this, it is within a few minutes’ walk of Southborough and the local amenities with good road access to Tunbridge Wells and the surrounding towns.
This lovely cottage is entered through a porch on the first floor with lots of coat and boot storage. It leads directly into the main living area, which is part of the extended section of the house, and has elevated views across the rear and established garden. This flows through to the generous second living area with its stripped floors and woodburning stove, more woodland views and stairs both up and down to the rest of the house. The master bedroom is also on this floor and features great storage, including a built-in bookcase, a lovely period fireplace and a well-appointed en suite with a gorgeous roll-top bath.
Downstairs on the ground floor is the incredibly light and airy open plan kitchen and dining room. The kitchen is a bespoke-fitted cottage style with a great deal of cupboard space and work surfaces as well as room for appliances. A deceptively large space, it also leads to a downstairs cloakroom, as well as being linked to the extended dining area. This is a beautiful feature of the house with its orangery-type feel, thanks to the vaulted ceiling and Velux windows. There is a fabulous flow to this part of the property. Light floods in and there are views and access to the rear garden and generous, raised decked area. An extra addition is an office room, again with well-appointed storage and garden views.
The two remaining bedrooms are found on the first floor as is the bathroom and access to the part-boarded loft space. The largest of the bedrooms has a wall of fitted wardrobes and a dual aspect across the rural outlook. The bathroom is fitted with a shower and the third bedroom, the smallest in the property, is still a good size with more views to the rear.
Outside, a deck leads from the kitchen in the peaceful, large and secluded garden. There is an access path to the driveway and one down into the garden itself with its rolling lawn and wide selection of well-tended and established shrubs, and a tucked-away garden shed. In all, there is about a third of an acre of land with this property which is substantial for the area. In the corner of the garden is a lovely self-contained summerhouse, currently being used as a studio, fully insulated with its own decking as well as lots of natural light and views of the entire garden. This could make the perfect home working environment.
What We Love About This House
Colburn Cottage is a lovely, quiet and private property, ready to move into. The current owners have been so thoughtful with their renovations to really make the most of the large garden and the stunning rural environment that envelops the house. This property has much to offer, from its secluded setting and well-appointed living space through to the incredible outdoor space and views. We love how the owners extended the property to meet their own needs, creating a home that has a lovely flow, with well-proportioned rooms, all beautifully presented.
With its easy access to Southborough, Tunbridge Wells and Tonbridge, as well as plenty of countryside walks, the property would suit couples or families looking for town life but also a quiet setting. If we had to choose one element of this property that we most love, it would be the garden for its size, seclusion and beauty. We think it would be easy to instantly imagine living here, so please do make an appointment to see it for yourself.
