A rare freehold mixed-use opportunity in the heart of Royal Tunbridge Wells, this Victorian building combines a substantial five-bedroom maisonette across three floors with two commercial levels currently run as a dry cleaners. The maisonette (c.1,885 sq ft) benefits from high ceilings, bay windows, a large sitting room, kitchen/dining with French doors onto a decked roof terrace, and energy-efficient residential EPC A rating—an attractive feature for long-term lettings or owner-occupation.
For investors the ground and lower ground commercial floors offer immediate income potential, with existing fixtures and fittings available by separate negotiation. The property sits within a convenient central location: about 0.2–0.6 miles to Royal Victoria Place, the High Street and Tunbridge Wells station, making it appealing to commuters, shoppers and town-centre tenants.
Buyers should note material considerations: the commercial element currently holds an EPC E and carries business rates (currently £3,892.20 pa, relief may apply but should be independently checked). The building is of solid brick construction (pre-1900) and walls are assumed uninsulated, so further insulation work may be needed to improve whole-building thermal performance. There is also a neighbouring right of way over a separate entrance and stairway, and the wider area records above-average crime levels—factors to weigh for both operating a retail business and residential occupancy.
Overall, the property suits investors seeking a town-centre mixed-use asset with immediate trading potential, or an owner-occupier looking to combine living above a business. The size, central location and strong residential EPC create genuine upside, while the commercial EPC, rates and retrofit needs are clear practical considerations.
