Edward Street, Southborough, Tunbridge Wells

SOLD BY FLYING FISH PROPERTIES TUNBRIDGE WELLS This immaculate period home has been comprehensively modernised and sympathetically extended by its current owners, to create a combination of period charm and modern luxury living.

Set back from the road by a low wall, a handsome red brick exterior provides plenty of kerb appeal.

An entrance door welcomes you into an inner porch which opens into the living room, with open access into the extended kitchen area behind.

The living room is flooded with light from the front window and there is a fitted alcove cupboard and wall shelving to keep the space clutter free. An opening in the chimney breast gives you the opportunity to install a fire and the room's wooden effect flooring seamlessly links it to the reception area behind.

Towards the rear is the fantastic kitchen/breakfast/dining room whose recent renovation has created an excellent cooking, dining, and entertaining space. It is beautifully finished with eye and base level cabinets topped with wooden countertops separating the integrated appliances and providing a breakfast bar overhang for two bar stools. A Velux window, window placed above the Belfast sink and a glazed door opening into the garden bring in light and garden views.

In the dining area there is ample room for a table and chairs, an under-stair cupboard, and a useful guest cloakroom.

Climbing the stairs to the first-floor split landing there are two double bedrooms, both with graceful proportions that give a very tranquil feeling. The second bedroom has an over stair fitted wardrobe with a hanging rail and shelving.

The stylish bathroom at the rear has a window bringing in lots of natural light and contemporary tiles. There is a shower over the roll top shower bath.

Outside to the rear is an enclosed garden with an area of artificial lawn and a paved terrace next to the house, perfect for relaxing in the summer months. A wooden shed provides plenty of garden storage space and stocked flower beds add interest and colour.

This home is superbly located for a host of popular nurseries, primary, secondary and grammar schools. It is also close to all of Southborough's local amenities and is well served for leisure facilities and transport links.

It offers a well-designed and stylish interior that has sympathetically transformed a Victorian property into a sophisticated contemporary home. A must see!

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 Edward Street. 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 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. Edward Street 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 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.
