Bishops Down Road, Tunbridge Wells

Set amidst the serene seclusion of one of Royal Tunbridge Wells' most coveted addresses, 8 The Glade is a boutique apartment, offering an exquisite blend of luxury, space, and setting. Nestled at the apex of Mount Ephraim, and accessed via a private lane discreetly tucked behind the prestigious Spa Hotel, this exclusive development pairs contemporary design with timeless surroundings. With the 250-acre Tunbridge Wells Common, The Pantiles, and the mainline station all just a short stroll away, The Glade offers the perfect balance of tranquillity and connectivity.
Apartments 8 presents a great sense of space and individuality and elevates apartment living with house-like proportions and exceptional design. Arranged over two floors, this duplex boasts a stunning double-height open-plan kitchen/dining/living room that leads to a balcony overlooking woodland and open space. The lower level also includes a generous bedroom and en-suite shower room, while the upper floor is dedicated to a luxurious bedroom with Juliet balcony, a stylish bathroom and a further large double bedroom with walk-in wardrobe, which has been converted from the original loft space by the current owners.
Internally, every detail has been considered to enhance comfort, functionality, and aesthetic appeal. The kitchen has been individually designed by an independent specialist and fitted with a suite of premium Bosch appliances, quartz worktop, under-mounted sink, and soft lighting - perfect for both cooking and entertaining.
The bathroom and en-suites exude hotel-style luxury, with modern white sanitary ware, chrome fixtures, recessed mirrors, porcelain tiling, and elegant shower enclosures. The decorative palette is sophisticated and contemporary, with pearl grey walls, satinwood-painted woodwork, and warm oak veneer flooring in key living areas, complemented by plush carpets in the bedrooms.
Gas fired central heating and a Megaflow hot water system ensure comfort and efficiency, while the apartment is fitted with a video entry system, mains smoke detector, and secure locks throughout for complete peace of mind. Built to exacting standards, there is the remainder of a 10-year Build Zone warranty.
Externally, the landscaped grounds are designed with Indian sandstone patios, block-paved parking areas, and electric vehicle charging points as standard. A heated ramp ensures year-round accessibility, whatever the weather.
Offering a rare combination of refined living, thoughtful design, and an unbeatable location, The Glade is more than a home - it is a lifestyle destination for those seeking the very best of Royal Tunbridge Wells.
