A spacious one-bedroom retirement apartment in The Dairy, built in 2017 for independent over-70s who want on-site support and social facilities. The bright living room and floor-to-ceiling windows look out over landscaped gardens, and a separate fitted kitchen and walk-in wardrobe add everyday convenience.
Residents benefit from two hours of domestic assistance included each week, a 24-hour emergency call system, an on-site bistro, homeowners’ lounge and wellness suite. There are practical extras such as a guest suite for visitors, mobility scooter store, laundry and lifts to all floors — helpful for independent living with occasional care needs.
Practical considerations are clear and factual: this is a leasehold apartment with a very long 999-year lease, but the annual service charge is high (£12,182) and ground rent is payable (£435 pa). Additional care or support beyond the included hours is available but charged separately, and heating is electric underfloor which may affect running costs.
Location is a genuine asset — central Tunbridge Wells amenities, cafes and supermarkets are nearby, with good bus and rail links into London. For someone seeking a modern, social retirement setting with on-site services and strong local connections, this apartment offers immediate move-in comfort with sensible awareness of ongoing costs.
