A sizeable ground floor apartment with private terrace and parking, set within this striking, local landmark development in this very convenient location in central Tunbridge Wells.
Description
Post Office Square is very much a one-off luxury apartment building in central Tunbridge Wells, converted around the millennium, largely owner occupied and with emphasis on security.
The complex offers 31 individual apartments ranging from about 1,000 square feet and with some covering over 3,000 square feet. Nearly all the apartments have good, private, outside space in the form of balconies or terracing, which supplement the delightfully planted central courtyard garden. Other benefits include secure gated parking and a resident steward, who has an office in the car parking area and who is on hand to assist in the smooth day-to-day running of the building and to offer general help to the residents.
No. 27 Post Office Square is a ground floor apartment, enjoying good ceiling heights, well-proportioned rooms, good levels of natural light and a stylish finish.
The large reception hall has been used by our client as a formal dining area, but the space can be utilised in any number of ways, with ample space for a study/working from home area should it be needed. The sitting room, which forms part of the original post office sorting room, is particularly impressive, with a feature fireplace and outlook toward Tunbridge Wells Common.
The kitchen/breakfast area is fitted with smart wall and base units by Smallbone providing good storage, with granite worktop and good preparation space with a range of integrated appliances.
There are two sizeable double bedrooms, both with fitted wardrobes and en suite bathrooms. The separate cloakroom also has useful space and plumbing for both a washing machine and a dryer.
The apartment enjoys a private terrace, with room for a seating area. Notably this apartment also provides secure parking for two cars (a single bay with car stacker).
Post Office Square offers ease of living and longevity; this is a lovely permanent home in Tunbridge Wells, an ideal lock up and leave, or pied à terre.
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 open spaces of the Common with its extensive walks to the other side.
The development is just moments from Hoopers Department Store and 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 an historic spa town located about thirty 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 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.
