Down House, 22 Broadwater Down, Tunbridge Wells, Kent, TN2

An impressive ground floor flat, within a handsome period conversion on the south side of Tunbridge Wells, with parking and garage. Offering much further potential.

Description

Located in this sought-after area, Down House is an imposing period conversion tucked away from view off the highly regarded Broadwater Down.

Found on the ground floor, Flat 4 is one of just three flats that enjoys access via the impressive front door to a communal reception hall. The flat is elegantly proportioned, well-presented and enjoys light and spacious accommodation, with wonderful ceiling heights throughout.

The impressive reception room has a full-height bay window, with original shutters, overlooking and opening onto the gardens to the rear. There are beautiful parquet floors, deep skirting boards, picture rails and decorative coving.

The kitchen/dining room is light and bright with outlook to the front, through the vast sash window. The fitted kitchen provides both good storage and preparation space with ample room for a large dining table.

The double bedroom has a full-height window with a wonderful view of the gardens. There is a separate, sizeable bathroom and a useful storage cupboard in the hallway.

Of particular note, our client has sought and been granted, freeholder consent to reconfigure the flat if desired. Current designs would create a two bedroom apartment by relocating the kitchen to the reception room to create an open plan kitchen/dining/sitting room and convert the current kitchen to a double bedroom with en suite shower room.

Outside - Residents’ parking is provided to the front of Down House, with two allocated spaces per residents together with a single garage en bloc.

There is an area of private garden on the title that immediately abuts the rear boundary of the property, accessed via the reception room and further communal grounds that surround the house, with boundaries left open creating a pleasant aesthetic for all.
