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

A sizeable duplex apartment with private terrace and parking, set within this striking, local landmark development in a very convenient location in central Tunbridge Wells.

Description

Post Office Square is very much a one-off luxury apartment building in central Tunbridge Wells, converted 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.

No. 2 Post Office Square is a generous duplex apartment, enjoying good ceiling heights, well-proportioned rooms and good levels of natural light with a stylish finish.

The large reception room, with feature fireplace and outlook toward Tunbridge Wells Common is easily zoned with plenty of room for a sitting area and a large dining table. The kitchen is fitted with smart wall and base units by Smallbone, providing good storage with granite worktops, good preparation space and a range of integrated appliances. The kitchen opens directly onto a well-screened private terrace with room for outdoor seating.

On the first floor there are three bedrooms. The principal bedroom has a dressing area with fitted wardrobes and an ensuite bathroom with a large shower. There are two further bedrooms and bathroom, with the second bedroom also benefitting from a fitted wardrobe. A ground floor WC completes the accommodation.

Notably the apartment also provides secure allocated parking for one car.

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 open spaces of the Common with its extensive walks to the other side.

The development is just moments from Hoopers Department Store and the High Street, which is bustling with a wonderful choice of independent clothing boutiques, 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 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.
