"A beautiful ground floor two bedroom apartment set within 8 acres of manicured communal gardens and over 1,300 sq ft, conveniently located within walking distance of Wonersh Village.

Apartment 1, Little Tangley, is a substantial and well presented property; it occupies an envious position in a peaceful spot just outside the village and is approached by a long drive. The original house was built in 1760, and in 1822, the house was increased in size to accommodate James Butcher and his 21 children. Lutyens arrived in 1890, where he completed the works by adding two large wings, working side by side with Gertrude Jekyll, who took over the new design of the gardens. In 1952, the property was converted into ten apartments, which is how Little Tangley is still presented today.

Apartment 1 has its own private entrance which opens into a lovely vestibule. The front door then leads you into a wonderful and spacious reception hallway. This special apartment has been remarkably renovated by the current owner and boasts a magnificent drawing room with a cosy wood burner, separate dining room and a contemporary kitchen. There are two generously sized double bedrooms, one with an en suite and an excellently appointment family bathroom, making this a well planned home.

The gardens are an extraordinary part of Little Tangley, with several magnificent trees dating back hundreds of years, which can be seen from all parts of the grounds. Gertrude Jekyll planned the main planting and terraces, leading to the upper terraces. The gardens attract much wildlife, with a family of deer that has been part of Little Tangley for many years. Walking is plentiful from Little Tangley; a garden gate goes straight onto a footpath that takes you onto Blackheath with miles of glorious open countryside. You also have the benefit of your own private patio area, perfect for your morning coffee and a beautiful summer house with stunning views over the gardens.
