Situated in the impressive Bredbury House with delightful views over the Common at Mount Ephraim is this superb apartment. Completely remodelled and refurbished by the current owners it provides everything needed for contemporary living but still retains wonderful period features.
The property is approached down a long drive bordered by beautifully maintained communal gardens with well-manicured lawns, interspersed with trees and surrounded by hedging and shrub borders.

We have loved living here for the past 10 years and were delighted to be able to completely update and remodel the apartment to provide two excellent en suite bedrooms. Although we don’t want to move, we feel it is time to be nearer to family but will miss our special home.
We can easily walk to the station, where trains to London take under an hour, in about 10 minutes as well as to the Pantiles and the town centre. We are close to a bus route and not far from the Neville Golf Club and Tunbridge Wells rugby, tennis and cricket clubs. There is also the indoor sports and tennis centre and a swimming pool. If you enjoy a good walk we can wander around the Common or ,slightly further afield, there are a number of delightful parks including Dunorlan and the Hawkenbury Recreation Ground. The A21/M25 is not far for motorists wanting to go to Tonbridge, Sevenoaks or London.
Tunbridge Wells or, more formally Royal Tunbridge Wells, became a famous spa town in Regency times when it was frequented by the aristocracy who came to take the waters and enjoy the entertainment organised by Beau Nash. Much of this historic town was developed during that time including the famous Pantiles that now offers a delightful mix of independent shops, bars and restaurants. While the rest of the town includes high street stores, a variety of eateries, individual shops, hair and beauty salons and a number of luxury and boutique hotels as well as retail parks. Entertainment facilities include a nine-screen Odeon cinema, the Trinity theatre, the well-respected Assembly Hall Theatre and exhibitions in the Amelia Scott cultural centre.
With regard to education there are a number of primary and secondary schools rated Outstanding by Ofsted including St James and St Peters’ C of E primary schools and secondary schools including Bennett Memorial Diocesan School, the St Gregory’s Catholic School as well as Tunbridge Wells Girls Grammar School and Skinners Grammar School.
