Speldhurst Road, Southborough, Tunbridge Wells

This deceptively spacious period home is a short walk from local shops, sought after schools and excellent transport links.

It is raised and set back from the road by a stone wall with lawn behind.

Steps draw you upward to its handsome white exterior with the part glazed entrance door opening into a hallway area, perfect for coats and shoes.

The living room to the front is a charming space with plenty of room for furniture, wooden flooring and a welcoming fireplace that adds character and warmth in the colder months.

Opposite is the dining/family room with neutral painted walls that contrast beautifully with the warm wooden flooring. There is an under-stair storage cupboard with electricity and part glazed French doors that open into the garden. Its open plan aspect to the kitchen offers great family living and entertaining space.

At the rear is the streamlined kitchen which has everything you need with plenty of fitted cupboards and counter surface, an integrated oven with electric hob and extractor above and room for under counter appliances. The sink is placed under a side window brightening the space.

Behind, past the useful guest cloakroom, is the utility room with space and plumbing for appliances and fitted storage cupboards. An additional sink and rear garden access makes it the perfect space for muddy boots and paws.

Climbing the stairs to the first floor there are three generous bedrooms flooded with light, with the front bedroom stretching the width of the house.

At the front is the modern bathroom with a P shaped shower bath and a window bringing in lots of natural light.

Outside at the rear is a generous sized garden. It is fully enclosed making it a safe sanctuary for pets and children with a playful lawned area and a block brick terrace, perfect for summer dining or evening entertainment and there is gated street access too.

There is the added advantage of a partly glazed garden studio with Wi-Fi connectivity, electricity and lighting. As well as a home office, it could be used as a home studio for your creativity, a den for teenage children or a playroom for younger ones.

This home is absolutely perfect for a small family, young professionals or buy to let investors and is a must see!

Area Information: Southborough, Tunbridge Wells, Kent

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 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.

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.

The nearest mainline station to the property is at High Brooms, which has parking, with fast and frequent train services to London Waterloo East, Charing Cross, London Bridge, and Canon Street. The train line at Tonbridge Station is 2.7 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 nearby, 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.
