A deceptively spacious and charming duplex apartment close to Tonbridge town centre and mainline station, offering two large double bedrooms, generous living space, private gardens and excellent potential. Combining contemporary style with retained period features, this quirky and versatile property is well worth viewing.
Located toward the southerly side of Tonbridge town centre with ready access to both the mainline railway station and a host of both multiple and independent retailers, a deceptively spacious duplex styled apartment offering two especially large double bedrooms on the upper floor and an equally good sized lounge and dining area opening toward a kitchen, on the first floor. The property has both a family bathroom and a separate WC/utility room and stairs lead from the kitchen to lower maintenance private gardens below. The apartment offers tremendous flexibility to any new owner and is, to all intents and purposes, effectively a house arranged over the upper 2 levels of this three storey building. A glance at the attached floor plans will give an indication of the tremendous opportunities available and the photographs will attest to the attractive contemporary designs with a number of period features still retained. This charmingly quirky property has tremendous potential and - to this end - we encourage any interested party to make an early appointment to view.
