The Building's History
The Carriage House is by far one of Royal Tunbridge Wells most recognisable buildings. Originally built in 1891 in Queen Anne Style with brick and terracotta detailing. The Carriage House was designed by renowned architect H Cronk for horse drawn carriage manufacturers Rock, Hawkins & Thorpe who had moved to Tunbridge Wells from Hastings.
Originally there were showrooms on the ground floor, with carriage and body makers to the first floor, and painters and trimmers on the second floor. Around the turn of the century, the firm moved into the building of motor cars before Caffyns bought the business and moved to new premises on St Johns Road in the 1950’s.
It’s later uses included that of an educational establishment and an employment centre. The property has now been lovingly converted to offer a range of 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments, whilst preserving the buildings history and ensuring it is enjoyed for future generations to come.
