London Road, Tunbridge Wells, Kent

Castle House is a refurbished grand Victorian building located just off the High Street and opposite the Common in the heart of Royal Tunbridge Wells. Castle House was originally built as a hotel c1850. Redeveloped in 2016/7, it offers a sought-after mix of period charm with modern services and comfort.

Off street parking provides secure access to an allocated parking space right by the front entrance. The modern video entry system allows access to a smart communal entrance and staircase to the first-floor landing.

The apartment is beautifully presented with a generous entrance hall that opens on to a stunning open plan kitchen/dining/living area. New heritage double glazing units keep things calm and quiet so you can enjoy the views over to the Common without distraction. The beautiful sash windows allowing the space to be flooded with natural light.

Modern engineered oak flooring perfectly fits the aesthetic matched with high ceilings, oversized skirting and architraves, to period style doors with chrome ironmongery and traditional cornicing. The space itself feels very modern centred on a stunning contemporary handle-less kitchen with integrated appliances that offers a surprising amount of cupboard space whilst not impinging on the living area by engaging a clever use of colour, concealed lighting and a slender stone effect worktop.

The living area easily takes a large L-shaped sofa, and the pretty bay window seems purpose built to house a small dining table. Tucked away next to but separate from the Living area is the most charming little bay windowed home office or reading nook with a handy storage cupboard and masses of character.

Both bedrooms are situated at the rear of the building and are separated from the living space by a plush hallway. The master bedroom enjoys a wall of floor-to-ceiling fitted wardrobes with ample hanging and drawer space. A stylish attached en-suite shower room fitted with contemporary sanitaryware adjoins. The second or guest bedroom is a good-sized double with fitted wardrobes and is sited next to the separate bathroom.

Living close to the High Street and the Pantiles offers a lifestyle that is hard to replicate anywhere in Kent. One of the biggest attractions is the ability to step out of your front door and walk everywhere. Whether it's grabbing a morning coffee, meeting friends for lunch, browsing independent shops, enjoying dinner at a local restaurant or catching a train (the station is just 5 mins walk.

What the Owner says:

The area also has a distinctive character and sense of place. The Pantiles, with its historic Georgian colonnades and rich spa-town heritage, is widely regarded as the heart of Royal Tunbridge Wells. Living nearby means being surrounded by attractive architecture and a setting that feels both elegant and unique, rather than resembling a typical modern town centre.
Living here you can enjoy the vibrant social scene. The Pantiles and High Street are packed with independent cafés, wine bars, restaurants, galleries and specialist retailers, creating an atmosphere that feels lively throughout the year. The fact that so many of the businesses are independent gives the area a personality and charm that is often missing from locations dominated by national chains.
There is also a strong community and events culture. Throughout the year, the Pantiles hosts markets, live music, food festivals and seasonal events, giving residents something to enjoy right on their doorstep. There is a real sense of something always happening, particularly during the warmer months when the area comes alive with outdoor entertainment and visitors.
Despite being in the centre of town you still benefit from easy access to green spaces such as Calverley Grounds, Tunbridge Wells Common and Dunorlan Park. This combination of urban convenience and nearby open space is one of the area's greatest strengths, allowing you to enjoy both a vibrant town-centre lifestyle and opportunities for outdoor recreation.
