Prospect Road, Southborough, Tunbridge Wells

SOLD BY FLYING FISH PROPERTIES TUNBRIDGE WELLS Loved by the same family for over six decades, this home is set on a popular road within walking distance of the local primary school, local shops and mainline station. It is also close to Southborough Common, an area of outstanding natural beauty, the cricket green, woodland walks, and open countryside.

Its double square bay window exterior delivers plenty of kerb appeal, with a traditional tiled pathway leading up to its covered entrance door.

Climbing the stairs to the first floor there is a family bathroom with a shower attachment and three double bedrooms.

The primary bedroom at the front stretches the width of the house and enjoys a deep square bay window and an additional window to the side, making it a very bright space.

On the landing is a fitted cupboard housing the water cylinder with a shelf for linen but if removed, it would be the perfect access point for stairs rising into a converted loft (subject to the usual planning consents).

The garden is enclosed on all sides, making if safe for children and pets, and there is a side gate for street access and a rear gate with further potential, should you want an off-street driveway.

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 Prospect 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. Prospect Road 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.
