Speldhurst Road, Southborough, Tunbridge Wells

SOLD BY FLYING FISH PROPERTIES TUNBRIDGE WELLS Sat elevated and screened from the road by hedging and pretty stocked gardens, this beautiful double bay fronted house delivers plenty of kerb appeal.

It is set on a sought-after residential road hugely popular with families and professionals alike, as it is in walking distance of excellent schools and superb transport links.

Paved steps lead you up to the wisteria clad house with an arched storm porch welcoming you in.

Once inside, the beauty of the house is immediately apparent with flawlessly decorated rooms running off the entrance hall on both sides.

The hallway's bespoke under stair cupboards and pull-out shoe drawers keep the space clutter free and there is a useful guest cloakroom at the rear and access into the garden at the side.

First on the right is the living room, its shuttered window brightening the space and its wooden flooring and fireplace adding warmth. There is an alcove cupboard with open shelving above on one side and plenty of room for family sofas.

Opposite is the second reception room, currently set up as a dining room. Bespoke cupboards and shelving sit either side of the feature fireplace and another shuttered window floods the room with light.

At the rear is the stylish kitchen/breakfast room. Bespoke painted wooden cabinetry, topped with contrasting granite counter tops, wrap around the room providing storage and housing for integrated appliances. A Belfast sink sits under the window overlooking the garden and a recess in the chimney breast provides space for a range oven. It is beautifully finished and fully equipped, as you would expect from a house of this quality.

Climbing the stairs to the first floor, brightened by a large window, there are three double bedrooms.

All the bedrooms are generously sized with fitted cupboards. They have been beautifully styled, whilst sympathetically retaining their period features.

Completing the floor is the modern bathroom with a shower over the bath and a window reflecting light off its fittings and contemporary tiles for a soothing bathing experience.

Outside to the rear is paved terracing on two levels, perfect for summer entertaining. An area of lawn with perimeter flower beds stocked with a mix of flowers, plants and shrubs gives a pretty country garden feel and it is a safe sanctuary for pets and children as it is enclosed on all sides. There is street access and a shed for storage too.

This fantastic house really does offer a luxury lifestyle that you could move straight in and enjoy. A must see!

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 Speldhurst Road. 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.
