Instantly recognisable, found set back from western ridge sitting above the Common in Tunbridge Wells, the three town houses at 63-65 Mount Ephraim are believed to date back to the early 1800s and were at one time called Wellington Place. The 1st Duchess of Wellington, then Lady Wellesley, lived at one of them ('Douro House') during the 1st part of the Peninsular war and was serenaded there by the inhabitants after the Battle of Talavera in 1809.

The Garden Flat at 63 Mount Ephraim has undergone an impressive transformation in recent years, having been converted from offices into a spacious and luxurious apartment. The property is a fine example of period charm meeting contemporary style.

On entering, the flat offers an impressive open-plan kitchen/breakfast room centred around a large island with striking quartz worktop incorporating the induction hob and extractor, providing plenty of preparation space, with bespoke base and wall cabinetry provide good storage and a range of integrated appliances, with plenty of room for informal dining at the breakfast bar. This space is open to the sitting room area creating a very sociable layout.

A striking, interior Crittall window "wall" separates the sitting room from a reception area, allowing for natural light to flood the space. This reception room is used by our client as a more formal dining room but offers much flexibility and could easily be used as a study/office space if required. There is a very useful storage cupboard and a separate wc.

The generous principal bedroom to the rear of the building, has a pretty sash window, room for plenty of furniture but also benefits from an impressive dressing room with bank of fitted wardrobes; this room leads to the beautifully appointed en suite bathroom. The second double bedroom has a matching window, a smaller but very useful dressing area and a stylishly appointed en suite shower room.

Outside - The garden flat enjoys a private, gated entrance to the side of the building, with steps leading down to the private front door.

The established and meticulously kept communal gardens to the rear are a particular feature, formed of the croquet lawns and gardens once belonging to the original houses, a wonderful retreat and space to entertain.

Parking - One allocated parking space, further visitor parking on a first-come, first-serve basis.
