About this home
An exceptional one bedroom ground floor apartment, occupying an elegant position within an attractive Victorian red brick building in the very heart of Tunbridge Wells. Beautifully renovated to a high standard, the property combines period character with refined contemporary interiors and has been thoughtfully arranged throughout to maximise both space and natural light. A well appointed entrance hall provides useful and considered storage. To the right is the exceptionally generous bedroom, its proportions enhanced by the high ceiling and large bay window. Plantation shutters and bespoke window seating add a sophisticated finish, while a bank of built-in wardrobes provide excellent storage without compromising the room’s sense of space. Adjacent to the bedroom is the contemporary bathroom, beautifully finished and featuring a large walk-in shower. To the left of the hallway is the deceptively spacious and highly versatile open-plan living accommodation. The kitchen features an excellent range of shaker-style cabinetry, high-end integrated appliances and generous work surfaces. A breakfast bar subtly defines the kitchen from the principal living area while maintaining the wonderful sense of openness. Beyond, the main living space is flooded with natural light and enjoys a particularly attractive outlook, with a striking floor-to-ceiling window, complete with Juliette balcony, offering a wonderfully green aspect – an unusual and appealing feature given the apartment’s central town location. To the left is a further reception area, currently arranged as a formal dining space. Equally, this area would lend itself perfectly to a dedicated home office or study, offering excellent flexibility for modern living. Outside, the apartment benefits from access to landscaped communal gardens, with mature trees and established planting providing a green outlook throughout the year. A generous terrace offers an ideal space for outdoor seating, while stone steps lead up to a level lawned area. The location is undoubtedly one of the apartment’s key attractions. Positioned in the very heart of Tunbridge Wells, it is just a few minutes’ stroll from the High Street, the historic Pantiles and the mainline railway station, providing fast and frequent services to Central London. With exceptional presentation, generous proportions, elegant interiors and a delightful outside space, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully appointed home in one of the town’s most sought-after central locations.
