Accommodation

Dating back to the 1820s and once the Royal Kentish Hotel, Kentish Mansions is one of Tunbridge Wells' most iconic and recognisable buildings, beautifully positioned overlooking the Common and within easy walking distance of everything the town has to offer. This wonderful three double bedroom apartment occupies a peaceful position on the fourth floor and offers approximately 1,350 sq. ft. of beautifully proportioned accommodation, combining period character with practical modern living. High ceilings, elegant cornicing, picture rails, an abundance of natural light and fast broadband make it equally suited to family life, home working and commuting.

The kitchen/dining room is thoughtfully designed with quality integrated appliances, generous storage and ample work surfaces, together with space for everyday family dining whilst enjoying rooftop views across Tunbridge Wells. A connecting door leads into the wonderfully light reception room, an elegant living space featuring wooden flooring, a feature fireplace and beautiful views across the Common.
