Accommodation

This purpose-built, second floor apartment is set on the popular south side of the town and conveniently placed for access to local shops and eateries, the open space of The Common and within a comfortable walking distance of the mainline station. Ideal as a first home or a buy to let investment, this property is for sale with no onward chain and is ready to move straight into.

Set on the second floor, with a telephone entry system serving the communal entrances either side of the building, which lead to the central staircase to this top floor apartment. The apartment is wonderfully light and bright, with views of trees and over rooftops and the living room enjoying a southerly aspect.

The personal entrance hall benefits from excellent storage with two large built-in cupboards and there is a cloakroom for guests, with useful storage beneath the basin and to either side of the WC. There is a generous living room which has been designed to provide space for both relaxed seating and a dining area and this room has double doors opening inwards, with a Juliet balcony, enabling you to have the doors wide open on summer days. The kitchen is across the hall and has been recently re-fitted by the current owner with attractive shaker-style units and pastel green tiled splashbacks. Integrated appliances include an electric oven with gas hob and fan over. There is space for a slimline fridge/freezer and potentially a small breakfast table in the corner.

There are two double bedrooms making the apartment perfect for sharers or when hosting guests. The larger of the two bedrooms has a built-in double wardrobe, leaving space for a double bed and additional furniture with a similar arrangement possible in bedroom 2, with a freestanding wardrobe. To complete the accommodation, is the bathroom, with modern white suite comprising a shower bath with centrally positioned taps and shower over, wash basin with vanity storage beneath and a WC. The apartment is well presented throughout and ready to move straight into and enjoy.

Outside, there is an allocated parking space on the southern side of the building and there are several additional spaces for visitors to use, for convenience. Broadwater Down Primary School is nearby and residents can walk to the local supermarkets in less than 10 minutes, The Pantiles in 10-15 minutes and the mainline station within 25 minutes. To enjoy the best of both worlds, the beautiful open spaces of The Common and Hargate Forest can each be reached in a 10-15 minute walk, where you can soon find yourself surrounded by nature and forgetting you are so close to all the amenities and convenience of the town centre.

A super apartment that is certainly worth a look to appreciate the value this home offers.

The property is within comfortable walking distance of 1 mile to the mainline station and the historic High Street. Tunbridge Wells itself boasts excellent commercial and leisure facilities with well-regarded restaurants and excellent shopping opportunities. There are a variety of popular, independent eateries at The Pantiles, within a 10-15 minute walk and easy access to two supermarkets on the way. There are excellent schooling options in the area, within both the state and independent sectors, including those in the sought-after Kent Grammar system and your closest primary school is only a 2 minute walk. The mainline station offers a fast and frequent service into Central London and, if you want to escape to the coast, then lovely seaside towns on the south coast can be reached within an hour by car or public transport.
