Castle Street, Southborough, Tunbridge Wells

Just a short walk from Southborough's local shops, sought after schools and excellent transport links, sits this deceptively spacious house.

Set back from the road by paving, you step into the living room at the front of the house. It is a welcoming space with plenty of room for sofas and there is a feature tiled fireplace.

Behind is the dining room, conveniently placed next to the kitchen, with two under stair cupboards, and a glazed rear door opening onto the courtyard terrace.

Opening to the rear is the kitchen, which is ripe for an update, brightened by a large window. There is space and plumbing for appliances, eye and base level cupboards and countertops.

A sliding door at the back opens into the shower room with a walk in wet room shower facility and windows drawing in lots of natural light.

Climbing the stairs to the first floor there are three bedrooms, all with large windows and two with fitted wardrobes.

Outside to the rear is a paved terrace with space for seating. A wooden shed provides storage and there is side street access.

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 property. 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 Castle Street'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.


Southborough enjoys many local independent shops with an award-winning hairdresser, The Gallery, and restaurant Tallow, which has just been named The Good Food Guide's Best UK Local Restaurant 2023 – both are a short walk away. With additional convenience stores, a baker, a butcher, and pubs such as The Hand & Sceptre and The Imperial nearby, all your local needs are met.

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. Castle Street 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. There is also a luxury coach service, that drops up and collects a short walk from 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.
