Forge Road, Southborough, Tunbridge Wells

SOLD BY FLYING FISH PROPERTIES TUNBRIDGE WELLS With period charm and a contemporary feel, this home is a short walk from local shops, sought after schools and excellent transport links.

Arranged over three floors and deceptively spacious, it is set back from the road by a low brick wall.

You enter into the living room, which is a welcoming space with pale wooden flooring complimenting the neutral décor beautifully. A bespoke alcove cupboard, with wall shelves above, provides storage and there is a feature fireplace adding Victorian charm.

Opening behind is the stylish kitchen/dining room which delivers wonderful cooking facilities with an abundance of cream cabinets topped with wooden effect work surfaces. A sink is thoughtfully placed under the window and there is an integrated oven and hob with an extractor above. An open space under the stairs is perfect for a table and chairs.

A useful utility area at the rear of the kitchen neatly houses an appliance, with a countertop above and a glazed door to the side opens into the garden.

At the back is the family bathroom with a shower over the bath and a window bringing in lots of natural light.

Climbing the stairs to the first floor the principal bedroom is at the front. It has a large window, two fitted alcove wardrobes and a pretty period fireplace.

Next door is the second bedroom which is also a generous double with a garden outlook.

Climbing a further flight of stairs to the second floor, is a useful loft space with a Velux window bringing in natural light.

Outside the garden is wonderfully low maintenance as it is fully paved, perfect for outdoor dining in the summer months. It is also enclosed by close boarded fencing offering a safe sanctuary for pets and children.

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 Hub with its new medical centre, library, theatre/hall, coffee shop, community rooms, and town council offices, together with retail space is within walking distance of the house. The Yew Tree and Ridgewaye Playing Fields are also close by, with open green spaces for walking and recreational sport. There are also allotments either side of the fields allowing you to grow your own fruit and vegetables on your doorstep.

Southborough Common, situated towards the house's end 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. The property is also within the catchment areas for the 6 highly regarded and sought-after Tunbridge Wells and Tonbridge Grammar Schools.

The nearest mainline station to Southborough is at High Brooms with fast and frequent train services to London Charing Cross, London Bridge, Canon Street and Victoria. There are also mainline stations on the same line at Tonbridge and Tunbridge Wells. Tonbridge Station is 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 40-minute journeys. There is also a luxury coach service, which drops up and collects near to the property, straight to Canary Wharf, the city, Embankment, and other central London destinations. It is half the cost of rail travel enabling you to slumber or work using its Wi-Fi connectivity as you travel.
