    About this property

    • 70 Mount Ephraim is instantly recognisable, set back from the western ridge and sitting above the Common in Tunbridge Wells. 70A Mount Ephraim is a stunning Victorian ground floor, two bedroom apartment, renovated throughout with a beautiful blend of period features and modern fixtures and fittings.

      The presentation throughout is of a high standard and the setting is exceptional, offering a sizable private garden and fine views over the town. The property is a fine example of period charm meeting contemporary style.

      A well-maintained communal reception hall leads into this spacious apartment. The hall opens into a generous drawing room of elegant proportions, featuring period details such as a picture rail, decorative cornicing, a feature fireplace along with views towards the town. The large principal bedroom has a sizeable sash window, ample space for furniture and benefits from an impressive and stylishly appointed en suite shower room. A second double bedroom and a family bathroom are located at the front of the apartment.

      The generously proportioned kitchen/breakfast room is situated at the rear, benefiting from a surprising abundance of light for its north facing orientation and providing plenty of preparation space with room for informal dining at the breakfast bar. Bespoke shaker-style base and wall cabinetry offer good storage, complemented by a range of integrated appliances, including an electric oven and a gas hob. The kitchen also benefits from direct access to the private garden.

      This accommodation will suit anyone seeking a very central home to enjoy all the town's amenities with spacious, light and airy rooms together with a stunning private garden. It will appeal as a permanent residence, a stylish second home, or a secure 'lock up and leave' property.

    You cannot help but be impressed by the views over the town and I love the styling here, which is sympathetic to the age of the house but with a stylish, comfortable, modern feel.
