Summary - 18B, MONSON COLONNADE, MONSON ROAD TN1 1LY
1 bed 2 bath Flat
Characterful central apartment near shops, restaurants and mainline station.
Large one-bedroom flat with approx. 872 sq ft internal space
Set within an attractive Victorian colonnade in central Tunbridge Wells, this unusually spacious one-bedroom flat offers period character alongside modern finishes. High ceilings, a bay-windowed living/dining room, decorative fireplaces and herringbone floors give the principal rooms a distinctly historic feel, while a contemporary fitted kitchen and bathroom provide everyday convenience. At about 872 sq ft, the flat feels larger than typical one-bed apartments and benefits from plentiful built-in storage and two bathrooms (one being a WC off the hallway).
The location is a major draw: 0.5 miles from the High Street, a short walk to the Pantiles and well connected to the mainline station (around 45 minutes to London), shops, cafés and cultural amenities are on the doorstep. Secondary glazing helps with noise and the property sits in a very affluent area popular with professionals — good for both owner-occupiers and buy-to-let purchasers seeking strong local demand.
Important practical points: the flat is leasehold and heated by electric storage heaters, so running costs may be higher than gas-heated homes and should be checked. The building’s solid-brick Victorian walls likely have little or no cavity insulation, so consider potential upgrade costs for thermal performance. Crime in the immediate area is recorded as very high; prospective buyers should review local safety data and building security. Overall this is a characterful, centrally located home with clear potential but some running-cost and security factors to assess.
