    7 SPELDHURST PLACE, SPELDHURST ROAD SOUTHBOROUGH: GUIDE PRICE £250,000 - £275,000 7 Speldhurst Place, Speldhurst Road Tunbridge Wells, Southborough, TN4 0JA Speldhurst Place is a selection of spacious, well appointed one and two bedroom apartments with allocated parking, centrally situated close to local amenities in Southborough. DESCRIPTION: Number 7 Speldhurst Place is a ground floor, two bedroom apartment that is situated within the central wing of this converted Georgian-style property. There are no other apartments on the ground floor of the central wing, which makes this a desirable position within this sought- after development. This imposing building is within an enviable location that provides a tranquil setting and yet is only a few minutes away from the shops, amenities and facilities in nearby Southborough. The apartment has been cleverly designed to make the best use of the space and this well-proportioned layout will suit an array of buyers. The living area is dual aspect with windows to the front and rear, which allows light to filter through this section of the apartment. The specification and finish in this apartment, and throughout the development, has attracted huge interest from an array of buyers who appreciate the small detail as well as the unique features, which include the 'secret garden'. The 'secret garden' is screened from view and is well-stocked with beautiful plants and shrubs. In addition to the garden, the borders within this walled development are a delight to behold and one can see that substantial time and expense has gone into making sure the 'first impression' counts.
