Post Office Square, London Road, Tunbridge Wells, Kent, TN1

A rare opportunity to acquire a two bedroom penthouse in this landmark, town centre apartment building, offering stunning views.

Description

Built in the early 2000’s, Post Office Square is a well-regarded, landmark apartment building at the southern centre of Tunbridge Wells town, well known for the high specification and the individuality of each apartment.

Number 19 is the smallest penthouse apartment in the building and so represents a rare opportunity at this price point. The accommodation has much individual character, combined with a stunning position, set back and at the top of the building, affording such fantastic views.

The two bedroom accommodation provides for a reception hall, kitchen/diner and a very special sitting room, with direct terrace access and it enjoys a stunning southerly aspect through a wall of glass by-folding doors. The second terrace above provides views all around the town and has a protected, covered area, with an internal staircase access, as well as the spiral staircase connecting the two levels. The principal bedroom suite also has a good outlook and is laid out with a dressing room with extensive wardrobes, leading into a bathroom en-suite with a separate shower.

The apartment presents well but is the original specification and it is considered, would benefit from some repairs, decorations and upgrades in places.

There are two covered parking spaces in the garage, which is positioned below the communal courtyard garden.
