An impressive period building, rich in history and presence, approached by a sweeping driveway that immediately sets the tone. From the first glimpse of this imposing detached residence, there is a sense of grandeur and curiosity, inviting you to discover more.
Believed to have been known as Spring Hill House, or similar, and listed in the 1841 census in the manner of a wealthy gentry residence, the building retains a wonderful sense of heritage. Set within mature gardens, it was converted in 2004 into four individual apartments, each owner holding a share of the freehold. The property also benefits from a 999-year lease. The building is managed by the owners under Warstone Gardens Management, giving each resident a say in ongoing care and maintenance.
This particular apartment is a first-floor, front-facing two double bedroom home, occupied by the current owner since conversion in 2004, a quiet tribute to its design, setting and enduring appeal. It also benefits from two allocated parking spaces.
The communal entrance hall is full of period character, with high ceilings, wooden flooring and a grand staircase rising to the first floor. Once inside, the apartment offers a generous dining hall with wood-effect flooring, a fitted kitchen, utility room and an impressive reception room filled with natural light. This elegant living space features a fireplace and French doors opening onto a south-facing private balcony, enjoying far-reaching views as well as outlooks over the beautifully maintained communal frontage.
The accommodation is thoughtfully arranged, with the bedrooms and bathrooms set away from the main living space. A hallway leads to a separate shower room, two ample double bedrooms and an en suite bathroom to the principal bedroom, which also enjoys excellent natural light and built-in wardrobes.
With double glazing, gas central heating and no upward chain, this is a rare opportunity for those seeking a home with history, character and scenery in equal measure. Ideally placed for local amenities, beautiful countryside and convenient commuting, it offers a little piece of heritage without sacrificing modern practicality.
