An individual family house, nicely set within a generous garden.
Description
This extended 1960s detached family house is nicely positioned within a large plot of about 1.21 acres, surrounded by mature gardens and borders offering good seclusion. The accommodation is well presented throughout and supports modern family living, with a fine, spacious kitchen/dining room, five bedrooms, two shower rooms and one large bathroom. The ground floor reception rooms have oak flooring and the kitchen/dining room has tumbled limestone tiles and maple units with stone worktops and stainless steel kick plates.
Outside, the garden is a real feature with a variety of mature trees including a fine Acer in view from the terrace, which leads off from the conservatory onto the lawn rear garden. A further large area of garden beyond is screened off behind and used as a recreational area for a trampoline, tree swing etc., with a large vegetable garden in a raised bed to one corner. A 'dog garden' area lies behind the garage on one side of the house and includes a stable building, which is used for storage. Access in from here via the utility room.
To the front, a gated entrance drive leads up to the house with a turning circle, with a lawn to the garage side and an above ground heated swimming pool to the other, complete with raised decked surround and pool house.

Rough Acres is located about 1.8 miles out of the popular village of Matfield, in a country lane which gives access directly out to the A21.
Tunbridge Wells, one of the south east's key towns, with comprehensive shopping and entertainment amenities, is reached within about 5.5 miles.
