A view from the owner

"I especially liked the character of the building (I heard a story that it was originally built for the music teacher of the Russian royal family), its grandeur, the tremendous sense of space (aided by the dual aspect bedroom), attractive garden and it’s superb location. 

I love the fact that the property is set on one of the most attractive roads in Tunbridge Wells, opposite the wide-open space of the Common, and very close to the railway station as well as to the famous Pantiles and the historic High Street, with its cafe society and useful day-to-day shops and services."

The accommodation

The large living area overlooks the pretty communal gardens and is open plan to the fully-fitted kitchen which includes a washing machine, fridge/freezer, and cooker. There is an extremely spacious double bedroom that benefits from dual-aspect windows and views over the gardens and has been repainted in almond white. Opposite that the bathroom has Victorian-style fittings and a white suite with bath and shower attachment.

Practicalities

Connected to all main services, the apartment benefits from gas central heating which has been regularly serviced and contributes to the energy efficiency rating of D. There is also a telephone security system to screen and admit visitors.  The electrics were inspected and upgraded in 2019 to meet new standards.  A resident parking permit can be purchased for parking in the surrounding area.

Roof repairs are planned in the short term.

Location

The apartment is within easy walking distance to town and all that it offers, just minutes from the main-line station, with direct services to London in around 45 minutes, and close to the historic Pantiles. 

Tenure

The property is leasehold with 155 years remaining on the lease at a peppercorn rent. The service charge of £1150 is paid annually and is up to date (March 2023). The building is managed by a local block management specialist.
