A charming detached character home tucked away within a few metres of Southborough Common, and conveniently placed for local amenities, a choice of schools and mainline stations.
A striking three storey Victorian home providing the best of both worlds - conveniently located for busy family life, being close to the extensive open space of Southborough Common and woods, whilst also close to excellent local amenities, a wide choice of well regarded schools, the mainline stations at Tonbridge, High Brooms and Tunbridge Wells and good bus links.
The light-filled accommodation oozes charm throughout with lovely period features including high ceilings, a balustrade staircase, large sash windows and several pretty working fireplaces.
The accommodation is adaptable being arranged over three floors with a sitting room, study and bedroom on the ground floor entrance level. There are a further two good-sized bedrooms and a contemporary period-style bath/shower room on the first floor from where a lovely green outlook can be enjoyed over back to back gardens towards the Southborough woods and down towards Holden Pond on the westerly side. The impressive open plan living space is below comprising a family room, a fitted country-style kitchen and a dining/sitting area with oak flooring throughout and opening out to the garden through big bi-fold doors.
The rear garden is particularly noteworthy providing peaceful additional space for entertaining under a wisteria and vine covered pergola. It is well planted with mature trees and fragrant shrubs. These add colour and interest and include a wild cherry tree, fig, lilac, rambling rose, honeysuckle and a clematis to the rear elevation. There is a lawned area with a rose clad ornamental arch leading through to a potting shed and a tucked away paved area at the bottom of the garden. There is a useful covered storage area to the side of the garden room and a pedestrian gate to the side for ease of access to/from the street/garden.
Bramshaw Villa is believed to date back to circa 1860 and to be one of the oldest properties in Vale Road, with historic connections to the governess who looked after Queen Victoria's grand children.

School, school, schools. Vale Road is ideally placed and offers access to a great mix of primary and secondary schools. It is also particularly convenient for those needing links back to London, as you have access to three stations (Tunbridge Wells, High Brooms, and Tonbridge).
