St. Johns Road, Tunbridge Wells, TN4

A beautifully presented and extensively improved two-bedroom apartment with a landscaped garden, occupying a convenient position in the popular St Johns area of Tunbridge Wells. An excellent option for first-time buyers seeking their first home without compromising on outside space, while equally well suited to downsizers or retirees looking for lateral living with the benefit of a private garden and sensible ongoing costs. The property offers an appealing alternative to purpose-built retirement accommodation, including developments within close proximity, while retaining the independence and character of a more traditional home.

Purchased by the current owner in 2010 as a property requiring complete modernisation, the apartment has since been comprehensively refurbished and thoughtfully improved over a number of years. The work has included alterations to create a more open and sociable kitchen arrangement, an extended bathroom, replacement kitchen and bathroom fittings, extensive redecoration and replacement windows to all but the front bedroom. Outside, the garden has also been landscaped and a substantial garden shed constructed.

The result is a particularly well considered home that combines the character and proportions of the original building with a much more contemporary layout and finish.

The accommodation extends to approximately 743 sq ft and provides two bedrooms alongside generous living space, with the altered kitchen arrangement helping to create a more connected and practical everyday living environment. The enlarged bathroom is another notable improvement.

Outside, the landscaped garden provides valuable additional space for entertaining, relaxing and gardening, complemented by the purpose-built shed for useful storage.

The property is offered leasehold with a share of the freehold. A new Deed completed in 2026 extended the lease to 999 years from 25 December 1986.

Maintenance expenditure is dealt with by the freeholders, who currently occupy the two apartments above, on an ad hoc basis as and when works are required, rather than through a fixed annual service charge.

The seller is relocating and intends to break the onward chain, allowing the property to be treated as the top of the chain.

The property occupies a particularly convenient position in the popular St Johns area of Tunbridge Wells, with an excellent range of amenities available along St Johns Road itself, including independent cafés, shops, restaurants and everyday services. Tunbridge Wells town centre and mainline station are both readily accessible, with the station approximately 0.9 miles away, while High Brooms station is a similar distance to the north. The area is well served by local schools and green spaces, with straightforward road connections towards Tonbridge, the A21 and surrounding countryside. St Johns offers an attractive balance between the amenities of the town centre and the convenience of having a strong local community and day-to-day facilities close to home.
