Elm Road, Southborough

SOLD BY FLYING FISH PROPERTIES A smart period red brick exterior with a well-stocked flower bed to the front draws you up a pathway to the part glazed front door, neatly placed at the side.

On your right, the elegant living room is a cosy retreat with its window exposing street views and flooding the room with light. It is a welcoming space with its fireplace offering warmth in the colder months.

Behind is the spacious kitchen whose warm wooden work tops contrast beautifully with its cream cabinetry, providing ample storage space top and bottom. Tiled flooring with underfloor heating and stylish tiled splashbacks add character. With a large range oven and room for additional appliances it is a cook's dream.

Opening off the kitchen, the dining room is conveniently placed with a fantastic L shaped bench seat perfect for family dinners or entertaining friends. A fitted double utility cupboard cleverly hides the appliances and a side door leads out to the side of the garden for access with muddy boots and paws.

At the rear is a wide sunny family room with surround sound connectivity and bifold doors that can lie open extending the living space in the summer. A useful guest cloakroom sits at the back.

Climbing the carpeted stairs to the first floor you reach two graceful double bedrooms, one with fitted wardrobes, and a large modern family bathroom with shower over the tiled bath.

A further flight of stairs takes you up to the third bedroom which is flooded with light from its double aspect windows and has deep eaves storage space.

Outside at the rear is a fully enclosed courtyard garden offering a safe sanctuary for pets and children and plenty of room for garden furniture to enjoy lazy summer afternoon BBQs. It benefits from front street access and a shed for storage.

Area Information: Southborough, Tunbridge Wells

Southborough lies just a couple of miles north outside the historic spa town of Tunbridge Wells with its big retail names and its Georgian colonnade, the Pantiles, offering a vibrant café culture.

It also sits just south of Tonbridge, with the A26 passing through it offering easy access to the A21 which leads to the M25.

Southborough Common, situated north of the village, is a conservation area where cricket has been played for more than 200 years.

If you're a runner, dog owner or casual walker, the woodland area of the Southborough Common, nestled behind St. Peters Church, is a very beautiful space. Ancient and young trees slope down to a stream with access to Holden Pond and Bidborough and Speldhurst villages beyond.

Excellent secondary, independent, preparatory and private schools can be found in both Tunbridge Wells and Tonbridge, while Southborough and Bidborough have their very own primary schools. Elm Road is also within the catchment areas for the 5 highly regarded and sought after Tunbridge Wells and Tonbridge Grammar Schools.

The nearest mainline station to Southborough is at High Brooms, about a mile away, with fast and frequent train services to London Charing Cross. There are also mainline stations on the same line at Tonbridge and Tunbridge Wells. Tonbridge Station is just over 2 miles away and with two lines passing through, it provides on average 34 trains a day from Tonbridge to London Bridge in as little as 35 minute journeys.
