Victorian Hotel Converted To New Apartments In Tunbridge Wells

Hamptons, on behalf of regional developer Kentish Projects, is now offering a collection of apartments at The Retreat in Tunbridge Wells, the conversion of a Victorian building that was originally a hotel.

The apartments’ specification features bespoke kitchens with quartz worktops and integrated appliances, engineered oak wooden flooring, fibre broadband, a video entry system, and a communal landscaped rear garden with seating and BBQ area. The lower ground units benefit from private secluded patio areas.

The Retreat is located on the doorstep of The Common in Tunbridge Wells, an affluent area which for many years attracted royalty to take in the ‘restorative’ spring waters. In more recent years it has become a popular destination for those looking to trade London life for the quiet and space of the country.

Handily, living in Tunbridge Wells means still being within about 45 minutes of the city, with fast and direct rail services making it well suited to commuters. The Pantiles is one of Tunbridge Wells most famous areas, which has a charming village atmosphere with a great selection of independent shops and restaurants. The Retreat is located approximately 400 metres from both the station and town centre.

There are plenty of green spaces within the town itself, including the Common and Mount Ephraim, and the Calverley Grounds where there is croquet, a playground and café. Dunorlan Park has a boating lake and walking paths, while there is ample walking in the beautiful Kent and Sussex countryside.

Tunbridge Wells is highly regarded for its educational facilities, in particular its grammar schools situated along St John’s Road. Tunbridge Wells schools also include secondary and independent establishments such as the Skinners School, plus a number of primary schools including St Augustine’s, St John’s and Broadwater County.

To the north of the town, the A21 provides a direct link to the M25 and the wider national motorway for routes to Gatwick and Heathrow airports. The M20 also provides a link to the Channel Tunnel Terminal and ferry terminals. Prices at The Retreat start from £310,000. Find out more at www.hamptons.co.uk.
