Broadwater Down, Tunbridge Wells, Kent

Built in 2022 Forest Gate House is a fascinating and award-winning development of nine luxurious apartments adjacent to the delightful 152-acre Hargate Forest and only a couple of minutes' drive from the famous Pantiles in Tunbridge Wells. It is approached along a conservation area in the tree-lined Broadwater Down, which leads to a vast block-paved frontage providing private off-road parking. It is at this stage that you can begin to appreciate the stunning appearance of the building with its cantilevered design, cedar cladding and curved mellow brickwork exterior.

This luxury apartment is on the first floor and accessed via the glazed entrance with an automatic door entry system. This opens into a spacious light and airy communal hall with a lift and stairs to the upper floors, which feature large windows looking out onto the forest and stunning statement drop-pendant lampshades. The apartment front door opens into a corridor with underfloor heating that flows throughout the apartment and has a useful store cupboard. There is access to two well-proportioned double bedrooms and spacious angled bathroom with porcelain floor and wall tiles, a bath, separate walk-in shower, vanity basin, anti-steam mirror and ample built in storage facilities.

However, the ‘star of the show' is the nearly 30 ft kitchen/dining/living room with hardwood herringbone flooring, floor to ceiling windows and French doors to the delightful, covered balcony where you can sit and enjoy wonderful, landscaped views. The superb bespoke kitchen/breakfast area includes a large breakfast bar and glossy white flat fronted units with quartz worktops housing Bosch appliances, while still leaving plenty of space for a dining table and chairs.

There is also a sizable, fitted utility room with dual laundry facilities and built-in storage cupboards, BT/data and TV points in the living room and bedrooms as well as a dedicated parking space with an electric car charging point and free parking on the road. All residents share the freehold.

What the Owner says:

We wanted an apartment that had something special, that wasn't a generic apartment block, and the individuality of this building won it the What House Best Apartment Scheme in 2022, and the Tunbridge Wells Civic Society Award the same year. We love that there are only nine apartments surrounded by landscaped gardens and woodland, yet we are just a stone's throw from all the amenities we could want.

There are gorgeous walks in the adjacent woods, and we are just minutes from the centre of Tunbridge Wells where trains from the station can whisk you to London in under an hour. Tunbridge Wells includes the famous Pantiles, independent shops, bars and restaurants, high street stores, hair and beauty salons, hotels and retail parks. There are excellent primary, grammar and private schools in the vicinity with some rated Outstanding, while entertainment and sporting facilities include cinemas and a theatre as well as golf, cricket, football, rugby and tennis clubs.
