Molyneux Park Road, Tunbridge Wells, TN4

Description

This is an immaculately presented luxury two bedroom, two bathroom Victorian apartment, occupying a substantial portion of one of Tunbridge Wells' most impressive period conversion buildings. Well located in a highly desirable residential area, the apartment is within just a few minutes' walk of the mainline station, the town centre, The Pantiles, parks and excellent restaurants, perfectly combining elegant apartment living with exceptional convenience. The apartment has been extensively renovated and is presented in first class condition, with generous accommodation, stunning lighting and well-designed storage solutions throughout. Beautiful engineered oak herringbone flooring flows throughout the principal living spaces, complementing the retained period character.

The accommodation includes a long entrance hall with useful storage options and access to all rooms. The living accommodation is positioned to the front of the apartment, with both bedrooms quietly located to the rear. The magnificent reception room is flooded with natural light from floor-to-ceiling double glazed sash windows, elegant bay windows and multiple windows within the turret, creating an exceptional sense of space. A private west-facing balcony provides the perfect spot for morning coffee or evening drinks, whilst the turret offers an ideal space for home working. A wood-burning stove creates a warm and inviting atmosphere during the colder months, with plantation shutters adding privacy and character.

The adjacent open-plan kitchen and dining room has been thoughtfully designed for both entertaining and modern day-to-day living, with generous bespoke wall and base cabinetry and direct access onto the private balcony. To the rear, both bedrooms benefit from their own dedicated bathroom, with the principal bedroom enjoying extensive fitted wardrobes and plantation shutters to the bay window. Both bathrooms also benefit from underfloor heating, adding an extra touch of everyday luxury.

Beyond the apartment, the beautifully maintained communal gardens provide a peaceful setting, whilst residents also benefit from two secure communal bike stores.

What we love about this house

This elegant apartment is undoubtedly one of the finest we have seen. When the current owner purchased the property, they were immediately drawn to its beautifully retained period features and stylish refurbishment completed by the previous owner, who thoughtfully reconfigured the layout by removing a wall to create a superb open-plan kitchen and dining space, together with widening the access through the installation of striking matt black glazed doors. Further improvements enhanced both the character and practicality of the apartment, including upgraded electrics, replacement radiators, refurbishment and draught-proofing of the original windows and external glazed doors, together with complete redecoration throughout.

A stunning designer Schmidt kitchen was installed, featuring extensive contemporary dark grey cabinetry, quality Neff appliances, an integrated coffee machine, CDA wine cooler and Quooker boiling water tap. The beautiful engineered oak herringbone flooring was installed throughout, laid over Acousitlay acoustic insulation for exceptional soundproofing, while bespoke cabinetry has transformed the storage provision and plantation shutters complete the elegant reception room. The result is a beautifully balanced character apartment that perfectly blends timeless Victorian architecture with contemporary design. Magnificent high ceilings, impressive bay windows and beautifully preserved period detailing flood the home with natural light, whilst the generous room proportions create an exceptional sense of space throughout.

The private west-facing balcony overlooks the secluded communal gardens, providing an idyllic outdoor retreat, whilst the building itself enjoys a genuine sense of community, with a friendly mix of long-standing residents and an active Residents' Association. Combining all of this with a location just moments from the town centre, The Pantiles, the mainline station, cafés, restaurants and independent shops, this is a rare opportunity to purchase an elegant period home in one of Tunbridge Wells' landmark Victorian residences.
