Agent’s wording:The Building    This Grade II listed Georgian building stands in the heart of the Tonbridge Conservation Area, within n++ mile of the mainline station. The building was carefully and completely redeveloped in 2005 to provide eight apartments, preserving protected period features and introducing state of the art materials and structure, including sophisticated noise and heat insulation and gas fired central heating. Restored listed sash windows provide plenty of natural light and views of the historic High Street, a medieval church and the building's courtyard garden. A listed central staircase rising to a galleried landing is naturally lit by a circular domed roof light. All eight apartments and communal areas were refurbished in Nov/Dec 2011. They are approached through a secure wooden gate off Church Lane. The gate leads to the courtyard garden, recently replanted, which is enclosed by a 2m listed brick wall.

.    Paving in the courtyard garden complements the building's Georgian architecture. With the exception of Apartment 1, which has its own exclusive access, all the apartments have entry phones.

Apartment 8    This studio apartment on the ground floor has in its main room a large listed segmented sash window facing due east over the main courtyard garden. There is a large full height walk in closet with a light, two power sockets and potential plumbing. The fitted kitchen area includes a Bosch washing machine under and Hotpoint fridge over. On the other side of the main room, opposite the kitchen area, a door leads to the bathroom, which has a small period sash window. There is a white suite including panel bath with mixer tap and shower attachment, pedestal basin and low level wc, ceramic tiled splash backs, wall mounted cupboard housing a Baxi gas combi boiler, radiator.

Situation    The building is situated at the northern end of the High Street near the Church of St. Peter and St. Paul and its extensive churchyard, within 1/2 mile of Tonbridge mainline station.

It boasts a fine example of a motte and bailey Norman castle built in the 13th century, set on the banks of the river Medway with the castle grounds abutting Tonbridge Park offering covered/open air swimming pool, tennis courts, children's play areas, miniature railway, putting etc. Tonbridge town offers an excellent range of retail and leisure activities with many High Street stores and a full complement of banks and building societies, together with a selection of coffee shops, restaurants and local inns.
