RESERVATIONS TAKING PLACE NOW! A historic carriage factory building, beautifully converted into 14 luxury apartments in Tunbridge Wells, viewing highly recommended! Built in circa 1891, one of Tunbridge Wells most striking buildings was purpose built as a carriage factory by local architect H Cronk and represents an exquisite example of the popular late Victorian and Edwardian British Queen Anne Revival style. Notable architectural features include striking Dutch gables, slim octagonal turrets with ogee caps and elaborate terracotta decorations. Internally the accommodation originally comprised show rooms on the ground floor, carriage makers shops on the 1st floor and trimmers shops on the 2nd floor with a central carriage lift. All the apartments therefore continue to gain from floods of natural light from large windows into high ceilinged rooms that retain the feeling space and light that is so attractive to a Victorian warehouse conversion. Stonehouse have curated within this glorious building just 14 individually gorgeous apartments, each with its own charm and character, each making the most of that warehouse style space, the interplay of natural light from large windows on interesting gallery like spaces. These truly are achingly beautiful canvases waiting to frame the next stage of your lives. The attention to detail is a testament to this developer/builder ethos of seeking out beautiful period spaces and lovingly restoring them to their former glory as exclusive idiosyncratic homes. This handsome building is conveniently situated at the Northern gateway of the Tunbridge Wells Town Centre.
