A state of the art, mixed-use development has just been launched in the thriving, historic spa town of Royal Tunbridge Wells, in Kent.
Copthorn Homes and its sister company, Countryside Properties PLC have released a striking new building of contemporary apartments, demonstrating innovative use of glass and steel, along with 22,424 sq. ft. of commercial space.
'The Chartwell Building' comprises 24 architecturally striking two and three-bedroom apartments and an impressive penthouse with panoramic views over the town. The apartments are centred around an open landscaped courtyard, with extensive use of glass block walls, steel balconies with canopies and unusual glazed timber walkways. Secure underground car parking spaces are also provided.
Copthorn's Marketing Director, Neil Armstrong explains, "The refreshing, modern style of the Chartwell Building is designed to breathe new life into this corner of the town with its smooth architectural lines and clean use of glazing and steel. It addresses a housing demand from younger professionals who are looking for the convenience of a town centre apartment, with the chic appeal of something highly contemporary.
"The unique style of The Chartwell Building is striking, with a superb feeling of space and light provided by the layout and glazing features. The apartments are also ideal for entertaining as they have a very bright, airy and open feel and most of their living areas extend onto impressive steel balconies."
Despite the very contemporary design of The Chartwell Building, Copthorn has carefully ensured it has a sense of place within the town by using the same building materials as traditional surrounding buildings, such as slate, render and Kentish brick.
The Chartwell Building is within easy commuting distance of London and is close to the town centre of the historic spa town of Royal Tunbridge Wells. This prestigious town is best known for its rich history, and boasts its own museum, art gallery, theatre and fortnightly Farmers' Market, as well as offering locals a rich variety of community clubs and societies, a large number of boutiques, pubs and restaurants, a shopping centre and numerous schools, sporting and leisure facilities.
Many commuters take advantage of the fast train links from Royal Tunbridge Wells Station, which is within easy walking distance of The Chartwell Building. Regular trains run directly into Charring Cross with journey times of approximately 60 minutes.
One and two bedroom apartments have just been released for sale priced from £155,000 to £204,000. For further information telephone the sales office on: 01892 527 733 or email info@copthornhomes.co.uk
