Description
Post Office Square is very much a one-off luxury apartment building in central Tunbridge Wells, built around the millennium, largely owner occupied and with emphasis on security.
The complex offers 31 individual apartments ranging from about 1,000 square feet and with some covering over 3,000 square feet. Nearly all the apartments have good, private, outside space in the form of balconies or terracing, which supplement the delightfully planted central courtyard garden. Other benefits include secure gated parking and a resident steward, who has an office in the car parking area and who is on hand to assist in the smooth day-to-day running of the building and to offer general help to the residents.
Found on the second floor 14 Ephraim House provides a generous and flexible layout which is beautifully presented throughout. This south-facing apartment benefits from good levels of natural light due to the extensive windows across the front elevation.
The apartment also enjoys good ceiling heights and a stylish finish, with ceiling coving to the principal rooms and moulded panelled walls to the dining room. The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with painted wood wall and base units by Smallbone with granite worktops providing good storage and preparation space with a range of integrated appliances and direct access onto the balcony.
The good-sized principal bedroom also enjoys direct access onto the balcony, whilst the arrangement of the second and third bedrooms offer flexibility of use. In addition to the impressive sitting room there is a very useful adjoining study which is perfect for working from home.
The private balcony accessed via both the principal bedroom and kitchen provides a sheltered spot from which to enjoy the sun and an uninterrupted view of the communal garden. The communal gardens lie at the heart of the development and are well stocked to provide year-round colour and interest, with a water feature as a central focal point set on a brick-paved seating area.
Notably this apartment also provides secure parking for three cars (one single bay and further bay with car stacker).
14 Post Office Square offers ease of living and longevity; this is a lovely permanent home in Tunbridge Wells, an ideal lock up and leave or pied à terre.
Location
Ideally placed for life in Tunbridge Wells, Post Office Square benefits from a very central location, with the mainline station virtually across the way from the Vale Road entrance and the expanse of the open spaces of the Common with its extensive walks to the other side.
The development is just moments Hoopers Department Store and the High Street, which is bustling with a wonderful choice of independent clothing boutiques and retailers, jewellers, cafés such as Fine Grind, Juliets and Arte Bianca, a GAIL's' bakery and restaurants including The Ivy Royal Tunbridge Wells and The Warren. The High Street is linked by the delightful Chapel Place walkway to the historic Pantiles, known for its charming Georgian colonnade and regular weekend craft and food markets and summer Jazz festivals.
Royal Tunbridge Wells is an historic spa town located about thirty miles south of London, surrounded by countryside and offering a popular base for commuters. The town offers excellent cultural, leisure and shopping attractions including cafés, restaurants, The Forum and two theatres. There are both cricket and tennis facilities at the Nevill grounds, off nearby Warwick Park and the renowned Nevill Golf Club is also within convenient reach. The Bridge Club (with Chess) and Squash clubs are neighbour Post Office Square and on Vale Road the Methodist Church has been converted in recent years into a private members’ gym.
Combined with the extensive choice of highly-regarded schools in the area, Tunbridge Wells is an excellent choice for families.
