Set on a large plot in the sought-after village of Groombridge, this detached four-bedroom home offers versatile family living across approximately 1,845 sq ft. The house feels bright throughout with generous reception rooms, a spacious kitchen/diner, utility room and a large garage — practical for family life and hobbies. The rear garden and patio provide a private outdoor space framed by mature planting, ideal for children and entertaining.
Accommodation is arranged over two floors and includes a ground-floor bedroom and shower-adjacent study that could serve multi-generational needs or regular guests. Upstairs offers a generous main bedroom with en suite, two further doubles and a single/home-office bedroom, plus a contemporary family bathroom with freestanding bath. The layout balances communal and quieter spaces well for everyday family routines.
Practical points include double glazing and mains gas heating via boiler and radiators. The property has been well cared for but dates from the late 1970s/early 1980s and presents scope for updating, including energy-efficiency improvements (current EPC D) and potential cosmetic modernisation to suit contemporary tastes. Broadband speeds are slow locally and council tax is high — factors to consider alongside the comfortable, characterful living.
Location is a key strength: Groombridge village amenities, primary school and pub are within easy walking distance. Eridge Station is a short drive for rail services to London Bridge and Tunbridge Wells is approximately 15 minutes away for wider shopping, schooling and leisure options. This home will suit families seeking village life with good schools and outdoor access, and buyers looking to add value through targeted updating.
