Offered as top of chain and the beneficiary of a recent refurbishment programme and lease extension, a 1 bedroom maisonette in this popular over 60's development in the heart of Rusthall village.
Offered as top of chain and the beneficiary not only of an extensive refurbishment programme but also a lease extension, a one bedroom maisonette in this over 60's residential complex in the heart of Rusthall village. A glance at the attached photographs will give an indication as to the quality of this proposition. The owners have given considerable thought to the improvements especially the design of the newly installed kitchen (with new appliances each with 3 year guarantees), the newly fitted carpets and re-decorations. What may be less apparent is that the complex itself has the additional advantages of a warden available between 9.00am - 3.00pm Monday - Friday, a washer/dryer facility, a shared garden area and the availability of off road parking spaces (see Agents Note). The property also has the additional advantages of a private entrance and - if appropriate - a recently refurbished stairlift.
Access is via a partially glazed double glazed door with two inset panels leading to:
ENTRANCE LOBBY: Areas of fitted coir matting, areas of recently fitted carpet, wall mounted 'Dimplex' electric storage heater, cupboard housing the electrical meter and electrical consumer unit. Stairs leading to the inner hallway alongside a recently refurbished and already installed stair lift.

Tunbridge Wells itself is a short distance away and is readily accessible either by foot, car or numerous bus services.
