Set discreetly to the rear of an attractive Victorian villa, this beautifully presented two-bedroom ground floor garden apartment offers a combination of features rarely found together. Its own private entrance, established west facing garden, garage en bloc and parking space give the property an unusual sense of independence, while a share of freehold further adds to its appeal.
The apartment has been beautifully decorated to a high standard, with a carefully considered colour palette bringing warmth and personality to each room. The result is a home that feels sophisticated and stylish, yet comfortable and inviting. Bespoke fitted storage has also been introduced, making clever use of the available space while sitting naturally within the character of the property.
An L-shaped entrance hall with handsome parquet flooring leads into the principal accommodation. The reception room is an especially welcoming space, with two restored sash windows looking out over the private garden, parquet flooring, column radiators and a chimney breast providing a natural focal point. New England style shutters complement the Victorian character and add an elegant finishing touch.
Opening from the reception room, the stylish contemporary kitchen is beautifully appointed with marble composite worktops, matching upstands and splashbacks, and a traditional china butler sink. Integrated appliances include NEFF double ovens and a Bosch fridge/freezer, dishwasher and washing machine, while a useful larder cupboard provides additional storage.
The principal bedroom is a generous and restful king size, with an angular bay, restored sash windows and New England style shutters. A fitted wardrobe is complemented by the adjoining dressing room, where extensive fitted shelving and hanging space provide excellent storage.
The second bedroom is a versatile dual-aspect room with further bespoke fitted storage and a particularly clever pull-out double bed solution. This allows the room to work beautifully as an everyday study or additional living space, while transforming easily into a comfortable double guest bedroom when needed.
Completing the accommodation is the stylish bathroom, finished with polished marble-effect porcelain tiling and featuring a bath with twin-head shower above, concealed WC and countertop basin set upon a marble composite surface with fitted storage beneath.
The private westerly facing garden is one of the home's defining features and provides a delightful extension of the living space. Enclosed by fencing and thoughtfully planted with established shrubs and perennials, including a prolific wisteria, it offers a lovely setting for morning coffee, outdoor dining and relaxed summer evenings.
Adding further to the property's practicality is a garage en bloc positioned opposite the apartment, together with the benefit of a parking space. Despite its tucked-away setting, Tunbridge Wells town centre is less than a mile away, with The Pantiles and Common approximately half a mile from the property. The mainline station provides fast rail services into London in under an hour, making this a home that balances character, style and privacy with excellent everyday convenience.
