Tucked away from view behind impressive electronic iron gates, a sweeping gravelled drive edged by high mature hedging leads you up to the house.

It sits quietly to the left of the off-street parking area and detached timber framed double garage with an impressive solid oak entrance door flanked by glass on all sides enticing you in.

The entrance hallway is fresh and modern with warm oak flooring and wide carpeted stairs rising upwards immediately showcasing the home's contemporary, light filled interior.

A door to the left leads you through to the kitchen which is beautifully finished and fully equipped as you would expect from a house of this quality. Light bounces off the gleaming black granite which contrasts beautifully with the warm oak cabinetry that wraps around the room housing integrated Bosch double ovens, a Baumatic 4 ring electric hob and a dishwasher. There is an island with useful extra worktop space and storage space below whilst a wall length of additional Velux sky lights floods the room with light enabling you to wash up under the stars. There is also plenty of space for a dining table and chairs at the far end of the room which is conveniently placed in front of the double French windows giving access out onto the decking and garden beyond.

Off the kitchen is a separate spacious utility area with garden access and an additional sink with an abundance of extra bespoke cabinetry offers plenty more storage options.

Across the hallway and past a useful guest cloakroom is a good-sized room that could be used as a home office area.

The final room on the ground floor is the living room whose grand proportions, triple aspect windows and wood burning stove encased beautifully within its fireplace takes your breath away. It is a vast space with plenty of room to entertain in or to curl up in front of the fire in a deep sofa on cold winter nights.

A turning staircase flooded with light from its landing full height windows draws you up to the immaculate first floor rooms.

The master bedroom suite has a contemporary, modern en-suite and a pair of bespoke double wardrobes, both of which add to the feeling of luxury that the room delivers on.

A second bedroom with its own beautifully finished double wardrobes and two further generously sized bedrooms offer superb family accommodation. The immaculate family bathroom competes the first floor.

The second floor 5th bedroom delivers a wow factor with a room of epic proportions being encased in full length glass at the top of the stairs and further benefiting from full height windows overlooking the front of the house.

The garden has areas of lawn to the front and side with mature hedging, plants and shrubs affording great privacy enabling you to enjoy alfresco dining and entertaining on the elevated decked area outside the kitchen.

Silver Birch really does offer a luxury family lifestyle that you could move straight in and enjoy. With open countryside on its doorstep and being a stone's throw from easy access to the M25, fast rail connections to central London and first class schools, it is the perfect home for families with professional needs.

Area information: Southborough, Tunbridge Wells, Kent

Southborough lies just a couple of miles north outside the historic spa town of Tunbridge Wells with its big retail names and its Georgian colonnade, the Pantiles, offering a vibrant café culture.

It also sits just south of Tonbridge, with the A26 passing through it offering easy access to the A21 which leads to the M25.

Southborough Hub with its new medical centre, library, theatre/hall, coffee shop, community rooms, and town council offices, together with retail space is within walking distance of the property. The Yew Tree and Ridgewaye Playing Fields are also close by, with open green spaces for walking and recreational sport. There are also allotments either side of the fields allowing you to grow your own fruit and vegetables on your doorstep.

Southborough Common, near to the property, is a conservation area where cricket has been played for more than 200 years.

If you're a runner, dog owner or casual walker, opposite the property the woodland area of the Southborough Common, nestled behind St. Peters Church, is a very beautiful space. Ancient and young trees slope down to a stream with access to Holden Pond and Bidborough and Speldhurst villages beyond.

Excellent secondary, independent, preparatory, and private schools can be found in both Tunbridge Wells and Tonbridge, while Southborough and Bidborough have their very own primary schools. The property is also within the catchment areas for the 6 highly regarded and sought-after Tunbridge Wells and Tonbridge Grammar Schools.

Southborough enjoys many local independent shops with an award winning hairdressers, The Gallery, and restaurant Tallow, which has just been named The Good Food Guide's Best UK Local Restaurant 2023 – both are a short walk away. With additional convenience stores, a baker, a butcher, and pubs such as The Hand & Sceptre and The Imperial nearby, all your local needs are met.

The nearest mainline station to the property is at High Brooms, which has parking, with fast and frequent train services to London Waterloo East, Charing Cross, London Bridge, and Canon Street. The train line at Tonbridge Station is 1.8 miles away and with two lines passing through, it provides on average 34 trains a day from Tonbridge to London Bridge in as little as 40-minute journeys. There is also a luxury coach service, which drops up and collects at the end of Pennington Road, straight to Canary Wharf, the city, Embankment, and other central London destinations. It is half the cost of rail travel enabling you to slumber or work using its Wi-Fi connectivity as you travel.

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
