House for sale in Vauxhall Gardens, Tonbridge

This handsome property, built in the late 1960’s, sits in a quiet and desirable no-through road on the edge of Tonbridge town, and therefore combines peace and seclusion with easy access to the town’s extensive amenities and highly regarded schooling. Typical of the period, this is an extremely light and spacious house, with large picture windows, generous room sizes and a family friendly flow of accommodation that has been dramatically extended by the current owners. The spacious entrance hallway sets the tone for the rest of the property, with access to all of the main living spaces, which include a beautiful dine in kitchen, with pale grey shaker style cupboards, larder cupboard and bifold doors to the rear garden, the dual aspect sitting room, family snug / home office, utility room with further useful storage, and WC. There is also access to the integrated garage which has plastered walls and could happily become a home gym or work from home space if required, subject to the usual consents.

Upstairs there are 5 double bedrooms, each of which could happily accommodate a king-size bed, a family bathroom with double-ended bath and shower attachment and a family shower room. The master bedroom is a very generous space, with its own additional en-suite shower room fitted with a double shower featuring monsoon and handheld showers and generous fitted walk-in wardrobes, all enjoying a peaceful aspect over the rear garden. Bedroom 2 has a large built-in wardrobe, with bedroom 3 also having a fabulous walk-in wardrobe and there is excellent storage in various eaves cupboards, and the loft space above.

Externally, to the rear there is a very private and fully enclosed, generous garden, flanked with mature trees and shrubs. Directly off from the kitchen and sitting room is the large stone terrace, with raised beds and a water feature providing further interest. This in turn leads to a large area of lawn. To the front is the spacious resin-bonded driveway, providing plenty of off-road parking, and access to the garage.

The house enjoys a slightly elevated position, which ensures that there are lovely views over the woodlands to the south and a house that is light and bright.
