About this property

  • A rare opportunity to follow other buyers and reconvert from scratch, to create a stunning home to an individual specification with the accommodation laid out over five floors.

    The property, listed grade II, is a redundant office as things stand, but benefits from consent to convert back to a single house. Further information is available at Tunbridge Wells Borough Council Planning Department: Application Reference Number 23/00936/FULL.

    Part of Belvedere Terrace, 17 Church Road is one of a terrace of ten five story Grade II listed gable-end, Tudor Gothic-style buildings, originally dating back to the 1840s and situated within approximately 0.3 miles of Tunbridge Wells town centre and mainline station.

    The property retains some character features and benefits from Victorian style ceiling heights, believed to date back to the 1840's with the traditional, stylish staircase still serving all five floors.

    The terrace is an impressive architectural landmark in the town and the houses benefit from good, designated car parking and nice, long south facing townhouse gardens.

As a long term Tunbridge Wells agent, I feel it is so pleasing to see this terrace going back to residential houses over time, recreating the past and enhancing town life in general. So, this is a very exciting opportunity for a buyer who wants a project and a town centre lifestyle.
