A Rare Opportunity in the Heart of Groombridge - Stylish and Versatile Village Home with Contemporary Interiors and Private Garden Spaces
Tucked away in a tranquil no-through road in the picturesque village of Groombridge, this beautifully presented and exceptionally versatile home offers contemporary comfort, elegant living spaces, and flexible accommodation. A warm welcome awaits through a covered entrance porch, finished with composite door, coir matting and ceiling spotlights. From here, a solid wooden front door with glazed half-moon inset and brass hardware opens into a property that immediately impresses with its character and quality.
The heart of the home is an outstanding sitting and dining room, bathed in natural light from double-glazed windows to both front and rear, along with a glazed door that opens directly onto the rear garden. A striking vaulted ceiling, complete with twin Velux skylights featuring automated shades and rain sensors, enhances the sense of space and drama, while the solid wooden flooring adds warmth and sophistication.
The kitchen/breakfast room is a showpiece of style and practicality. A sleek range of contemporary grey cabinetry is topped with solid wood worktops, perfectly paired with a central island housing a five-ring gas hob, extractor hood, and breakfast bar. Double eye-level ovens, an integrated slimline dishwasher, and a dual-function 'hot' tap with spray add both luxury and functionality. This bright and inviting space also enjoys direct access to the rear garden via French doors, making it ideal for al fresco entertaining.
A separate utility room provides further convenience, with space for laundry appliances, a deep storage cupboard with radiator and lighting, and doors opening to both the garden and the covered carport. This thoughtful layout makes daily tasks simple and discreet, helping maintain the sleek aesthetic throughout the main living areas.
The accommodation includes three well-proportioned bedrooms, offering flexible usage depending on family needs. The principal bedroom is positioned to the front of the house being double aspect and featuring both a charming bay window and door to the garden, a large walk-in wardrobe with automatic lighting, and an en-suite bathroom fitted with a traditional-style panelled bath, vanity unit and WC. A connecting studio room, currently used as a music space, provides the perfect work-from-home office, nursery or hobby room. Two additional bedrooms offer views over the front and rear gardens respectively, and are serviced by a luxurious family shower room, complete with rainfall shower and contemporary fittings.
The rear garden is a particular highlight-southerly facing and thoughtfully terraced, with a mix of lawn, patio and mature planting beds. This private, sunny space provides a peaceful retreat, ideal for entertaining or quiet relaxation. A small picket-fenced garden to the front adds to the charm and kerb appeal of the home.
The property also benefits from a garage, currently adapted for alternative use but easily convertible back if desired, as well as a covered carport providing sheltered parking.
Situated in the sought-after village of Groombridge, on the Kent and East Sussex border, this property enjoys a unique blend of rural tranquility and convenient access to nearby Royal Tunbridge Wells, just 4.5 miles away. Groombridge offers a wealth of local amenities including a bakery, general store, post office, traditional pubs, and the well-regarded St Thomas' Primary School. The historic Groombridge Place and the surrounding countryside offer wonderful opportunities for walking, riding and other outdoor pursuits.
The nearby town of Tunbridge Wells offers a wide array of shops, restaurants, wine bars, theatres, and leisure facilities, as well as mainline rail services to London Charing Cross. With a variety of both state and independent schools in the area, this location is ideal for families seeking an outstanding quality of life within easy reach of London.
