London Road, Southborough

SOLD BY FLYING FISH PROPERTIES A smart exterior entices you up to a grand entrance door which gives a nod to the true character and charm of the home that lies behind it.

Inside this immaculately presented home is a sensitive combination of period detailing and contemporary décor with a bright and spacious layout making it perfect for a growing family.

Light streams into the large spacious hallway through the beautiful leaded glass windows either side of the striking front door. Warm wooden flooring and balustrades contrast beautifully with the crisp cream painted walls, ceiling and stair treads whilst an expanse of stylish under stairs panelling conceals a useful storage cupboard.

The living room is a welcoming space with stylish contrasting wall colours and a contemporary remote controlled gas fire which adds character and warmth to the room as you curl up in a deep sofa on cold winter nights.

Next door the dining room with its open hearth, wooden flooring and views over the garden framed by French doors which can lie open on lazy summer days, offers a perfect dining experience.

An open arch leads you into the well-equipped kitchen enabling you to chat to friends and family as you prepare dinner. Plenty of light beech units topped with contemporary work surfaces are separated by room for appliances whilst the large window is cleverly placed above the sink enabling you to watch the children play while you wash up. A separate walk in cupboard, stylish cloakroom with WC and side garden access door make it a truly family friendly space.

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 towards Fairview'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. London 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.
