Edward Street, Southborough, Tunbridge Wells

This beautiful period home is set on a popular road within walking distance of the mainline station, local shops, sought after schools and excellent transport links.

Set back from the road by a low wall with paving behind, this home's handsome red brick exterior and bay windows provide plenty of kerb appeal.

A covered storm porch opens into its entrance hallway with views through its rear internal glazing to the garden.

On the left light pours into the spacious living room through its bay window overlooking the residential street. It is an exceptionally welcoming space with warm wooden flooring and a fireplace, with a raised tiled hearth and a wooden mantle, adding character and warmth in the colder months.

Along the hallway is the family room with an internal window borrowing light from the part glazed conservatory at the rear and a circular internal window over the stairs.

Next door, the streamlined kitchen has plenty of wooden effect units which contrast beautifully with its dark work tops. There is an integrated Bosch dishwasher, double Hotpoint ovens and gas hob. It conveniently provides access into the utility room behind which has yet more storage and space for appliances.

Opening to the rear of the kitchen is the part glazed conservatory/dining room. It is a versatile space providing access to the rear garden and flexibility to use it as you need. However, given its proximity to the kitchen, expanse of glass and garden views, it makes the perfect dining area and is ideal for entertaining family and friends.

Climbing the stairs to the first floor there are two bedrooms, both of which have large windows bringing in lots of natural light.

The principal bedroom at the front extends the width of the house and its two windows, one a deep bay, and graceful proportions give a very tranquil feeling.

The second bedroom has a fitted cupboard.

Towards the rear is the bathroom with a bath and separate shower cubicle. Its window reflects light off its contemporary tiles for a soothing bathing experience.

Outside to the rear is a wonderfully low maintenance paved garden which is fully enclosed for children and pets. A storage shed and front street access are both useful additions.

This fantastic home is ready to move in and enjoy, but it also gives you an opportunity to modernise it to suit your own taste and needs. 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, situated towards the property'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. Edward Street 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 hairdressers, 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 1.8 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 near to 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.
