Situated in the very heart of Groombridge, just moments from the village amenities, this impressive semi-detached Victorian home has been significantly extended and thoughtfully enhanced by the current owners to create a superb and versatile family residence.A generous entrance hallway with cloakroom sets the tone, leading through to a striking kitchen/breakfast/family space designed very much for modern living. Flooded with natural light from a large roof lantern and further windows and doors to the rear, the space also features bi-folding doors opening onto a private side courtyard — ideal for entertaining. The kitchen itself is beautifully appointed with an extensive range of floor and wall mounted cabinetry beneath quartz worktops, complemented by a substantial island incorporating a breakfast bar, sink, storage and shelving.

To the rear, the garden is predominantly laid to lawn with a brick pathway leading to a highly useful outbuilding — currently utilised as a home office with additional storage behind. The side courtyard, accessed via the bi-folding doors, offers a secluded and inviting space for outdoor dining and entertaining.Groombridge offers an enviable village lifestyle with a strong sense of community, including a local convenience shop, bakery, public houses such as The Crown, The Junction, and a village hall adjacent to the cricket ground.
