The property is offered as a leasehold with 109 years remaining, allocated off-street parking, double glazing and mains gas central heating.

Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, while the location provides easy access to Tunbridge Wells High Street and local transport links.
For buyers aged 60+, the Homewise Home for Life Lifetime Lease is an option that typically reduces the upfront price; the marketed Lifetime Lease guide price for this flat is £165,500 (indicative average saving c.33% from the full market value of £250,000). Eligibility, the exact price and any purchased share (up to 50%) depend on age and personal circumstances. If you are not eligible or prefer full market purchase, the property can be bought at the full asking price of £250,000.
Important considerations: the building is in an area with higher crime levels, and the property is leasehold so solicitors should verify lease details and restrictions. The apartment is average-sized, suitable for downsizers or retirees seeking accessible, low-maintenance living close to town, but buyers should factor in ongoing service charges and ground rent when budgeting.
