Set within a striking former manor, this ground-floor apartment occupies generous space in a converted period house with expansive communal grounds. Two double bedrooms and two bathrooms suit a comfortable, low-stairs lifestyle; principal rooms retain period character including panelled sitting room and high ceilings. The private courtyard and useful converted basement add practical storage and flexible space, while an included garage and share of freehold provide ownership security uncommon for an apartment.
Practical considerations are clear: heating is oil-fired with a boiler and radiators, walls are likely solid with no built-in insulation, and the EPC is rated D. Broadband speeds in the area are very slow, and local crime statistics are above average. The service charge is approximately £2,400 per annum and the lease extends some 950 years — long leasehold with a share of freehold and wide communal grounds (about 1.75 acres).
This apartment will appeal to someone seeking substantial living space without the responsibilities of a whole house — ideal for downsizers who value privacy, countryside views and proximity to village amenities. It is also suited to buyers prepared to make targeted energy-efficiency improvements (insulation, heating upgrade) to reduce running costs and raise comfort. EPC and broadband limitations are material factors to budget for before committing.
Positioned at the end of a country lane with easy access to the A3 and a mainline station (Waterloo c.46 minutes), the setting balances rural calm with commuter convenience. Nearby independent and state schools and attractive park-like grounds add to the appeal for those prioritising location and period character over turnkey modern technology.
