Elegant and impressive Victorian family home set on Southborough Common and well located for schools, road and rail networks.

Fountain House is an impressive Victorian family home which has been the subject of refurbishing and remodeling by the present owners and provides versatile and beautifully presented accommodation arranged over three floors. The original features have been enhanced by modern embellishments which include a bespoke kitchen, stylish bathrooms suites, multi-pane sash windows (some with shutters), encaustic tiling and attractive fireplaces, all complemented by an attractive colour pallet. The property has charming and established gardens which provide an attractive backdrop together with views over The Common to the rear. Also of note is the detached garage with a store room to one side.
The principal reception rooms provide versatile areas for both formal entertaining and family living, and comprise a spacious double aspect drawing room with a wood burning stove and an adjoining sitting room with a fireplace, an outlook and direct access to the rear terrace.
The double aspect kitchen/dining/family room is a superb space for everyday living and features charming arched windows and door to the rear terrace and an attractive window seat, set within a bay, overlooking the front garden. The kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of bespoke cupboards with a matching island unit and a range of appliances including a Smeg range cooker and a wine fridge. An adjacent utility room has additional storage and space for appliances.
A triple aspect studio/playroom has a roof light and access to the rear terrace, and a separate study has double doors to the gardens.
From the hall stairs lead to the lower ground floor where a cinema room is located.
The principal bedroom is arranged over the first floor and is triple aspect with a wide bay window affording views over The Common and beyond, and is served by a stylish en suite shower room. There are five further double bedrooms, all with an attractive outlook, together with a dressing room, walk-in wardrobe and two well-appointed family bathrooms.
The house is approached via electrically operated wrought iron gates with a gravel drive leading to the detached tandem garage, which has a useful storage room to one side and a log store.
The front garden comprises a large area of lawn enclosed by well stocked beds and shrub borders together with mature deciduous trees and laurel hedging. Steps lead to a charming wooden summerhouse and there is a paved terrace to one side providing a seating area. A path leads past the garage to the rear where a delightful southwest facing brick terrace is located with open views to The Common and planting including wisteria, and passion flower to the boundary.
