This is an immaculately presented luxury two bedroom, two bathroom Victorian apartment, occupying a substantial portion of one of Tunbridge Wells' most impressive period conversion buildings.

Beyond the apartment, the beautifully maintained communal gardens provide a peaceful setting, whilst residents also benefit from two secure communal bike stores.

What we love about this house

This elegant apartment is undoubtedly one of the finest we have seen. When the current owner purchased the property, they were immediately drawn to its beautifully retained period features and stylish refurbishment completed by the previous owner, who thoughtfully reconfigured the layout by removing a wall to create a superb open-plan kitchen and dining space, together with widening the access through the installation of striking matt black glazed doors. Further improvements enhanced both the character and practicality of the apartment, including upgraded electrics, replacement radiators, refurbishment and draught-proofing of the original windows and external glazed doors, together with complete redecoration throughout.

A stunning designer Schmidt kitchen was installed, featuring extensive contemporary dark grey cabinetry, quality Neff appliances, an integrated coffee machine, CDA wine cooler and Quooker boiling water tap. The beautiful engineered oak herringbone flooring was installed throughout, laid over Acousitlay acoustic insulation for exceptional soundproofing, while bespoke cabinetry has transformed the storage provision and plantation shutters complete the elegant reception room. The result is a beautifully balanced character apartment that perfectly blends timeless Victorian architecture with contemporary design. Magnificent high ceilings, impressive bay windows and beautifully preserved period detailing flood the home with natural light, whilst the generous room proportions create an exceptional sense of space throughout.

The private west-facing balcony overlooks the secluded communal gardens, providing an idyllic outdoor retreat, whilst the building itself enjoys a genuine sense of community, with a friendly mix of long-standing residents and an active Residents' Association. Combining all of this with a location just moments from the town centre, The Pantiles, the mainline station, cafés, restaurants and independent shops, this is a rare opportunity to purchase an elegant period home in one of Tunbridge Wells' landmark Victorian residences.
