Station Road, Groombridge, TN3

Behind its attractive period façade lies a home that has been comprehensively renovated and extended, combining the character of a Victorian property with the comfort, efficiency and specification of a modern home.

The current owners approached the renovation with the intention of making this their long-term family home, and that is reflected in both the level of investment and the attention paid to the less visible elements of the property, not just its appearance. Their plans have since changed, creating a rare opportunity to purchase what is effectively a newly rebuilt and modernised home within a period shell.

Carrying out an exceptional programme of improvements that goes far beyond cosmetic decoration, major works include a full reroof of the original house, rebuilding and repointing of the front chimney with new pots and capping’s, complete repointing of the front elevation, a substantial rear extension, and a loft conversion creating a superb principal bedroom. Almost every element of the house has been upgraded, allowing the next owners to simply move in and enjoy it.

The heart of the home is the impressive kitchen and dining room, designed with modern living in mind. Bi-fold doors open directly onto the south facing garden. The kitchen, installed around a year ago, incorporates integrated appliances, concealed bin storage and Bluetooth ceiling speakers, creating a space that is equally suited to everyday family life and entertaining.

Practicality has been considered throughout. The ground floor benefits from wet underfloor heating, powered by a high specification Viessmann central heating system, with insulated and screeded floors providing excellent thermal efficiency. The property has also been completely rewired, with a new consumer unit, while new double glazed sash style windows and external doors have been fitted throughout.

Arranged across three floors, the accommodation offers flexible living space, with two bedrooms and a family bathroom on the first floor, together with a generous principal bedroom occupying the converted loft. Two new staircases have been installed as part of the renovation, while insulation has been added to the internal face of the external walls to improve comfort and efficiency.

Outside, the south facing rear garden has also been transformed with new fencing and gates, a fixed awning over the bi-fold doors for shade during the summer months, and a fully insulated garden office complete with power, making it ideal for home working, a studio or gym.
