Mount Ephraim, Tunbridge Wells

A Grand Period Apartment in the Heart of Royal Tunbridge Wells with planning to convert to 2 bedrooms & 2 bathrooms

Occupying an enviable position within a distinguished period building, this beautifully appointed apartment seamlessly blends classical elegance with contemporary refinement. Entered via an impressive communal hallway through a solid wooden front door, the home immediately sets a tone of quality and character.
The private entrance hall offers a warm welcome with high ceilings, ceiling spotlights, and a practical layout that includes useful storage cupboards and a wall-mounted entry phone system. A radiator ensures year-round comfort while enhancing the sense of homely luxury.
The principal reception room is a showstopper - a grand sitting and dining area enjoying a triple-bay configuration with magnificent floor-to-ceiling sash windows fitted with original shutters. The space is flooded with natural light and further enhanced by modern underfloor heating and recessed ceiling spotlights, making it ideal for both entertaining and relaxing.
Adjacent to this space is a sleek and stylish kitchen, expertly designed with a comprehensive range of modern base units and drawers finished with quartz work surfaces and riser. An induction hob and electric oven sit beneath a stainless steel extractor hood and striking glass splashback. Integrated appliances include a dishwasher, washing machine, and fridge/freezer, while the sink unit features an elegant mixer tap with drainer grooves cut into the quartz surface. A double sash window provides leafy views and additional daylight. A wall-mounted combination boiler and radiator complete this highly functional yet visually appealing space.

The bedroom is generously proportioned, offering a peaceful retreat with casement windows overlooking the rear aspect, a built-in wardrobe, and a radiator. The atmosphere here is calm and tranquil - perfect for restful nights and lazy mornings.

The luxurious shower room exudes a boutique hotel feel, featuring a spacious walk-in shower with both a waterfall head and handheld attachment. A contemporary vanity unit with wash hand basin, a low-level WC, heated towel rail, tiled walls, extractor fan, and spotlights all combine to create a space that is both practical and indulgent.
Outside, residents benefit from well-maintained communal gardens, ideal for enjoying the outdoors in privacy. Additionally, the property includes a private garage en-bloc, situated conveniently to the far left with an up-and-over door, as well as further visitors parking.
A private cellar cupboard - the second on the right as you enter - provides additional secure storage, a rare and valuable asset for town centre living.
