The Tunbridge Wells Inn is nestled within the historic central midlands district in the town of Tunbridge. Built in c1825, the building is a significant example of a single-storey Old Colonial Georgian inn and farmhouse with its long medium-pitched broken-back roof, half-hipped gables, enclosed eaves, flagged veranda and extensive use of local rough-hewn and rubble stone.

The property boasts four large bedrooms, two large living areas, two kitchens a dining area, two bathrooms, a large converted loft, sun room and central corridor. The buildings design allows for one large residence or two separate residences both with separate bedrooms, a living area, kitchen and bathroom. The building has five fire places, three in bedrooms, and one in both the main living area and kitchen. There are four doors accessing the house from the front veranda and two from the rear.

The building was strategically erected by Thomas (a former convict) and Ann Flemming, along the original Main Road from Launceston to Hobart. The establishment operated as an Inn until the 1840s and as a farmhouse after this time. Within the centre of the building, adjoining the main living room, structural remains of a temporary holding cell for either prisoners en route or valuable goods can be seen. Cobble stone remnants of the former Main Road between Hobart and Launceston can be found along the front of the main building today.

The Tunbridge Wells Inn is recognised by the State for its heritage value and was included on the Tasmania Heritage Council Register on 22 September 1999. The building and grounds are recognised by the Historic Cultural Heritage Act 1995 as an important demonstration of the evolution or pattern of Tasmanian history and is also considered a significant representative in demonstrating the characteristics of a broader class of cultural places.
