The Pantiles
Royal Tunbridge Wells

Reviving Heritage Charm

Royal Tunbridge Wells nestles in the heart of Kent which, in itself is known as the Garden of England. The Pantiles is considered the ‘Jewel in the crown of Royal Tunbridge Wells’ and is the focal point for tourism and recreation within the town.

Through strategic asset management and the draw of our prestigious and popular high-profile events programme, The Pantiles is now fully let with specialist shops, art galleries, cafes, restaurants as well as the famous markets that run at weekends throughout the year.  Celebrity and Michelin star rated chef Atul Kocher is our newest tenant who opened his highly rated restaurant, Essence on the Pantiles to much acclaim earlier this year. This letting soring up The Pantiles fantastic reputation as the only place to be in Royal Tunbridge Wells.

Preserving Historical Elegance

Future asset management initiatives are being explored such as the restoration of Friend’s Passage, a 1,100 sq ft facility which could easily house another high-end restaurant, raising income by another £30,000 per annum and easily adding another £500,000 in value to the estate.

We are also working with a design team to work on enhancing the seating arrangements such that the outdoor food and drink season can be extended. Once successful, this should lead to opportunities to better rentalise the outdoor areas. At an achievable £15 per sq ft over approximately 10,000 sq foot the income from seating would rise from £36,000. per annum to £101.191 per annum. Capitalised at 6.5% then this raises the asset value by £1,000,000.
