Penthouse for sale in Mount Ephraim, Tunbridge Wells TN4

An exceptional penthouse apartment within this private and tucked-away building with far-reaching views across Royal Tunbridge Wells and beautiful Kent countryside. Chancellor House enjoys a privileged and peaceful position amongst beautifully kept park-like grounds which extend to over five acres close to the town, the common and the famous Pantiles. The communal areas of the building are superbly maintained in the Art Deco style and through heavy oak revolving doors with polished brass furniture, the reception hall is a wonderfully welcoming area with a large picture window and two fireplaces. There is a lovely sense of community within the building and social events are planned throughout the year including drinks at Christmas in the foyer, a summer fete in the grounds and talks and evening events.

The property itself is an excellent penthouse apartment with spacious and versatile accommodation all arranged over one floor and is accessed via stairs or a lift. There are three reception rooms in all – a triple aspect drawing room to the rear with door opening directly to the roof terrace, a sitting room to the front with extensive book shelving and storage cupboards and double doors which open into a dining room. The kitchen is fitted with floor and wall mounted units and there is a separate utility/laundry room.

There are three bedrooms – all of which have fitted wardrobes and one has access to a small balcony to the front which enjoys views over Tunbridge Wells and all are very well served by a bathroom and shower room. Throughout the apartment there is lots of storage including an additional store room accessed from the communal landing.

There are two garages within the grounds – one a standard single but the other is larger than average and an irregular shape which allows for a very useful workshop area.

The private roof terrace which is accessed from the drawing room is very special indeed. Large enough for a formal table and chairs as well as more relaxed furniture. The views over the communal gardens and far beyond are outstanding and need to be seen in person to be fully appreciated.

All in all, this is an excellent and rarely available property. The outlooks are second-to-none and the peaceful position absolutely ideal for access to Tunbridge Wells itself and the many amenities it has to offer without being in the very centre of the town.
