The Headline Details
A beautiful garden apartment in a wonderful Victorian property, built around 1878, in a sought after area of Tunbridge Wells. Excellent bedroom and living accommodation and recently refurbished kitchen and bathroom make this a very attractive property, and with the added features of off street parking and a private rear garden.
A useful communal entrance shared by the neighbouring flat provides a perfect place to remove coats and shoes before entering the front door to this apartment. It opens onto a hallway with engineered wood flooring from which all the accommodation is accessed. Immediately to the left and to the front of the property is the formal reception room where the wood flooring continues, a lovely light space with windows on two aspects, a feature fireplace and plenty of space for furniture. Adjacent is the first of the bedrooms, carpeted and with a window to the side and a fitted double storage cupboard.
In the hallway there is a walk-in storage/utility cupboard with shelving and at the far end is the bathroom, an extremely nice space recently refurbished with a freestanding roll top bath, separate walk in shower and attractive panelling and tiling to the walls and floor. The kitchen is adjacent, beautifully appointed with cream Shaker-style wall and base units and solid wooden worktops, all integrated appliances and a breakfast bar.
To the rear is a door to the garden as well as the second bedroom. This is a smaller double or large single, with a window to the side and French doors leading directly to the rear garden. The garden is laid to patio with a stepped bank of planting, very attractive and low maintenance, and with plenty of space for seating and dining. There is also a side return back to the front of the property.
What We Love About This Flat
