Birling Road, Tunbridge Wells

Offered as top of chain and thoughtfully re-modelled, enhanced and improved by the current owners, a first floor apartment offered to the very highest of standards and with a well considered and most appealing contemporary design. A glance at the attached photographs and floorplan will give an indication as to both the flow of the property and of the style of finish, but of particular interest will be the principal entrance hall, a large open plan kitchen/dining room with further utility space, an equally good sized principal lounge with Juliet balcony overlooking private gardens, three double bedrooms - of which one has an en suite shower room - and family bathroom. Externally, the property has generous parking in the form of an integral garage and driveway area and use of a private garden to the rear of the property, containing a most impressive and unusual 'Weeping Sequoia' tree which we understand is subject to a tree preservation order.
