" A charming 1889 sq.ft two double bedroom first floor apartment forming part of a most impressive Grade II* listed country house, set in 15 acres of beautiful grounds set amidst the High Weald area of outstanding natural beauty. Both bedrooms overlook the front of the building and enjoy views of the pond. This exquisite conversion of the mansion has been undertaken with scrupulous care for the importance of the building, carefully retaining many period features and incorporating a contemporary design with the high standards of craftsmanship. Amongst the array of modern day fixtures include a quality fitted kitchen complete with integrated appliances and lighting. Since our vendors purchased they have upgraded the kitchen work tops to granite and also upgraded the stylish bathroom/shower rooms with marble surrounds and some useful storage solutions. Both bathrooms are white suites. The apartment also has three original fireplaces and the most striking replacement antique wood flooring in the entrance hall, drawing room, kitchen and stairs to bedroom 2 to complement the 21st century technology including phone, satellite and TV points throughout. For peace of mind the development is protected by a video entry door system, external lighting and CCTV covering the buildings perimeter. For anyone who may wish to use the property as a base or a weekend retreat. The owners enjoy the use of tennis court, croquet lawn and boules pitch.
