Property Summary
Vale Towers is a Grade II listed building, formerly known as Romanoff House School, which once prepared boys for public schools as well as military and naval colleges. In 1857, it became Rosehill School, where Lord Robert Baden-Powell—founder of the Scout Movement—was enrolled in 1868. Today, the building proudly bears a historic claret plaque in recognition of its distinguished legacy.
Set back from the road, this delightful Victorian flat offers a peaceful retreat with picturesque views over rooftops and mature trees stretching towards Tunbridge Wells Common. Large, characterful windows flood the spacious interior with natural light, showcasing the flat’s distinctive blend of original period charm and modern comforts.
The generously sized living room, partly open to the kitchen, is perfect for entertaining, with ample space for both a comfortable seating area and a dining table. The well-equipped kitchen features a range of painted wall and base units and benefits from borrowed light through the sitting room window. The spacious shower room is double aspect with delightful leafy views and a large storage cupboard housing the boiler.
Outside, a charming walled garden offers a lovely communal space for residents to relax, enjoy the sunshine, or host a BBQ.
Perfectly located, the flat is just a short stroll from the vibrant High Street, with its array of independent shops, cafés, and pubs. The famous Pantiles is also nearby, as is Tunbridge Wells Station, offering regular rail services to London. The apartment also benefits from the option to purchase two parking permits, offering added convenience for residents.
