Set within the well-kept St Pauls Court for the over-60s, this bright first-floor apartment offers a comfortable one-bedroom layout and communal support. The lounge is light-filled through a large double-glazed window and includes a fitted electric fire and fireplace. The bedroom has built-in wardrobes and the bathroom features a large walk-in shower with a grab rail, heated towel rail and useful vanity storage. The fitted kitchen provides good cupboard space and a tiled splashback with scope for updating.
The development provides a strong community feel with a house manager, communal laundry, well-maintained gardens and on-site communal facilities. Rusthall village amenities are a short walk away — independent shops, a post office, pubs and a frequent bus into Tunbridge Wells town centre. Allocated parking spaces are available to rent subject to availability.
Important practical points: the lease has 62 years remaining and lenders may refuse standard mortgages on this basis. Service charge and ground rent apply (approx. £2,425pa service charge; £180pa ground rent). Heating is by electric storage heaters, which can be more costly than gas. Buyers should review lease terms carefully and seek pensioner/retirement housing mortgage advice if needed.
This property will suit a purchaser seeking low-maintenance, community-focused retirement accommodation close to local conveniences and Tunbridge Wells. There is potential to personalise the kitchen and living space, but buyers must factor in lease length and running costs before committing.
