A rare opportunity to acquire a two bedroom penthouse in this landmark, town centre apartment building, offering stunning views.
Description
Built in the early 2000’s, Post Office Square is a well-regarded, landmark apartment building at the southern centre of Tunbridge Wells town, well known for the high specification and the individuality of each apartment.
Number 19 is the smallest penthouse apartment in the building and so represents a rare opportunity at this price point. The accommodation has much individual character, combined with a stunning position, set back and at the top of the building, affording such fantastic views.
The two bedroom accommodation provides for a reception hall, kitchen/diner and a very special sitting room, with direct terrace access and it enjoys a stunning southerly aspect through a wall of glass by-folding doors. The second terrace above provides views all around the town and has a protected, covered area, with an internal staircase access, as well as the spiral staircase connecting the two levels. The principal bedroom suite also has a good outlook and is laid out with a dressing room with extensive wardrobes, leading into a bathroom en-suite with a separate shower.
The apartment presents well but is the original specification and it is considered, would benefit from some repairs, decorations and upgrades in places.
There are two covered parking spaces in the garage, which is positioned below the communal courtyard garden.
Location
Ideally placed for life in Tunbridge Wells, Post Office Square benefits from a very central location, with the mainline station virtually across the way from the Vale Road entrance and the expanse of the open spaces of the Common with its extensive walks to the other side.
The development is 0.1 miles from the High Street, which is bustling with a wonderful choice of independent clothing boutiques and retailers, jewellers, cafés such as Fine Grind, Juliets and Arte Bianca, a GAIL's' bakery and restaurants including The Ivy Royal Tunbridge Wells and The Warren. The High Street is linked by the delightful Chapel Place walkway to the historic Pantiles, known for its charming Georgian colonnade and regular weekend craft and food markets and summer Jazz festivals.
Royal Tunbridge Wells is a historic spa town located about 30 miles south of London, surrounded by countryside and offering a popular base for commuters. The town offers excellent cultural, leisure and shopping attractions including cafés, restaurants, The Forum and two theatres. There are both cricket and tennis facilities at the Nevill grounds, off nearby Warwick Park and the renowned Nevill Golf Club is also within convenient reach. The Bridge Club (with Chess) and squash clubs are neighbour Post Office Square and on Vale Road the Methodist Church has been converted in recent years into a private members’ gym. Combined with the extensive choice of highly-regarded schools in the area, Tunbridge Wells is an excellent choice for families.
Located in the heart of the town, the Common is approximately 0.4 miles by foot from the property. This extensive green space includes a cricket pitch, the iconic Wellington Rocks, a natural landmark, lovely spots for picnics and extensive tracks enabling walks to the town centre, Pantiles and station.
Mainline rail: Tunbridge Wells station, with regular services to London Charing Cross in under 1 hour (via London Bridge and Waterloo East) and Cannon Street, is approximately 0.1 miles from Post Office Square.
Communications: The A21, to the north of Tunbridge Wells, provides access to the M25 orbital motorway and thereby to the national motorway network, Gatwick and Heathrow airports, the Channel ports and the Channel Tunnel.
