Central Location, 27 Post Office Square, Tunbridge Wells
27 Post Office Square is ideally situated at the heart of Tunbridge Wells within a few minutes walk of the main line station (but no train noise) and excellent shopping and leisure facilities that this spa town has to offer. Post Office Square is an award winning gated development, which transformed the former Post Office Building and was completed during 00/01. It has secure underground parking, a full-time manager and shared freehold of the development. The small complex of 32 apartments benefits from a Members’ Health Suite and Day Spa on site, with swimming pool, gym, dance studio and treatment rooms. The apartment is in a contemporary style but with high Victorian ceilings in its main living rooms as well as views over Tunbridge Wells Common. It has cherry wood floors and woodwork throughout and benefits from energy-efficient boiler and cost effective under-floor heating as well as an integral vacuum system for ease of cleaning. It has an external front door with entrance lobby leading to a dining hall, bespoke double doors lead through to the large sitting room with a ‘Platonic’ real-flame gas-fire and french doors and sash windows overlooking the 250 acres of unspoilt woods and heathland that make up Tunbridge Wells and Rusthall Commons.
There is ample space for a table and chairs to make the most of the views over the Common in the semi-open-plan Smallbone kitchen which has granite worktops, black marble floor, a range cooker, bosch extractor fan, built-in bosch microwave and dishwasher, stainless steel ‘American style’ fridge/freezer with ice and iced water facility, waste disposal unit under the double butler’s sink. Both the main and guest bedrooms have fitted cherry-wood wardrobes and benefit from en-suit bathrooms. The main en-suit also has a heated mirror, walk in shower, white twin basins and bath.
Outside is the private terrace with pergola planted with fragrant evergreen climbers. In addition there is a communal landscaped garden at 1st floor level and the apartment has two dedicated, undercover parking spaces - unheard of in the centre of Tunbridge Wells!
This apartment would suite anyone with a taste for the easy life whether a commuter moving out of London for better quality of life, downsizing or as a second home, this property fits the bill. And at an asking price of £540,000 it will keep the most conservative of buyers happy!
Tunbridge Wells is a delightful town at the heart of the Garden of England. It is within an easy commute of London, and has excellent access to motorway networks and to the south coast ports and Euro Tunnel in Ashford or, from November Ebbsfleet, with routes onwards to the continent. The old high street comprises specialist shops (the Queen’s personal jeweller has a shop here), whilst the famous Pantiles is delightful at any time of year and hosts occasional Italian and French markets enhancing its specialist shops with an international flavour. The Royal Victoria Shopping centre houses most of the multi-national stores and on Mount Pleasant many interesting and varied restaurants can be found. Tunbridge Wells has lots of choice when it comes to eating out including the renowned Thackeray's restaurant, Hotel du Vin and Petit Blanc. It really is a town for all seasons.
