There is also a new boiler housed behind a cupboard. The dark flooring contrasts beautifully with the white work tops that wrap around the room housing integrated appliances. The arched window to the side adds character and light to the bright room, letting you enjoy a cup of coffee whilst seated at the island in the morning sunshine.

The second bedroom is a good sized double, with an extensive mirrored sliding door wardrobe system, constructed onsite and equal to three double wardrobes, plus a modern shower room completes the apartment.

The enclosed private garden at the rear has been well thought out with a neat pebbled seating area letting you and your guests enjoy the pleasures of the countryside views and tranquillity the home enjoys.

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 Argyle Road'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. Argyle 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 40 minute journeys.
