House For Sale £2,250,000
This chain free, truly exceptional property is situated in Bidborough, situated in a plot of 2 acres and with highly flexible, spacious accommodation, all beautifully presented and with landscaped gardens.
The Headline Details
South Mount is a truly exceptional home situated on the Bidborough borders and therefore within easy proximity of a range of excellent amenities. The original design of the house was very thoughtful, taking full advantage of the incline of the plot, and meaning that the front approach belies the deceptively spacious accommodation, which totals 4100 square feet.
The entrance hall leads to the upper ground floor accommodation, with a second kitchen/diner (perfect for an annexe) large sitting room and cloakroom. A few steps down lead to the home study, and then a few steps further lead to the generous bedroom accommodation, which consists of 5 double bedrooms, 2 of which have their own dedicated ensuite, and a family bathroom. Further steps lead down to the plant room, providing valuable storage, and finally the open plan kitchen - a wonderful space with room for dining and casual seating, and which leads perfectly onto the rear garden.
The rear of the property takes full advatange of the fabulous setting, with balconies leading off all of the main rooms and the study to the side. These give a fabulous sense of light, privacy and rural charm, despite the house's highly convenient location. Indeed the plot is a real feature of this property. Totalling just over 2 acres, the electric gates lead to the driveway which sweeps along the front of the property and leads down to a double garage, with electric up and over doors. The rear garden consists of 2 large terraced areas, laid predominately to stone and lawn and separate with attractive oak sleepers. There is a fabulous outside entertaining area, which features a pool bar and access to the home gym, and of course the beautiful swimming pool. There is a wooden gazebo and the garden is flanked by mature shrubs and trees and so feels very secluded.
What We Love About This House
We love the way that the house was sympathetically built to take advantage of the incline of the plot. From the front the house looks like a charming ski chalet, with beautiful feature lighting and a walkway leading to the welcoming entrance hall. It is only open entering this house and when viewing from the rear that you realise what a generous house this is.
We love the sense of light and space, created by the generous picture windows and multiple balconies, which all provide lovely aspects of the surrounding grounds.
We love how versatile the accommodation is. The upper ground floor area is very flexible and thanks to its well equipped second kitchen, could easily serve as an annexe if required.
And the plot is superb. At just over 2 acres it is much larger than is the norm for this area. The current owners have very carefully divided it into multiple spaces, meaning that there is room for every need of the family market. The house is in a highly convenient location, with every amenity of its doorstep, and yet this plot feels incredibly private.
Location
The plot is situated on Birchwood Avenue in the heart of Bidborough, 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.
