Private entrance to lower-ground flat with 850 sq ft generous layout
Guide price £295,000–£315,000. Bright, roomy and recently refurbished, this 850 sq ft one-bedroom lower-ground flat sits within a handsome Victorian building in Tunbridge Wells’ St James area. Enter through your own private entrance to a large open-plan sitting, dining and kitchen space finished in contemporary tones and wood-effect flooring — ideal for relaxed entertaining or home working.
The principal bedroom is generous, featuring a bay window, built-in wardrobes and character fireplace. Outside there’s a private courtyard terrace directly off the flat, plus access to a communal lawned garden and communal parking (allocated on a first-come, first-served basis). The freehold tenure is an unusual bonus for a flat and adds long-term security.
Practical strengths include modern heating via a mains-gas boiler, recent bathroom refurbishment, useful utility storage and quick access to Tunbridge Wells town centre, station and well-regarded local schools. The flat will appeal to first-time buyers and downsizers seeking spacious period proportions with contemporary finish.
Notable drawbacks are factual: the accommodation is lower-ground (so check natural light and ventilation), the windows are single-glazed and the cavity walls are assumed uninsulated — further upgrading may be needed for optimal thermal performance. The communal parking is not allocated to a specific bay, and as with many period conversions, check drainage, dampproofing and service arrangements as part of survey.
